i have a 2005 chapperal ssi 204 with a duel prop. Im okay now basic stuff like 180 and almost can clear the wake.. oh and i have a tower.. When i get better over the weeks will my boat hold me back from what i will be able to do?

Well, dual props makes it harder.... But if you throw in some serious weight you should be fine, looks like it already makes some good displacement with that huge hull.

The boat guy said the duel prop would kick out a good wake which i does most of the time i think im gonna buy a 750 sac to put in a compartment.. i also have a 134 hyperlite motive is that a good board?

Boards don't really matter that much, if it gets you up and you can stay afloat and edge, it is good enough. I could be wrong about what my concept of what a dual prop is, but wouldn't the wake be extra wide, and have 2 out of the 4 wakes being inside the outer two wakes? If so, that would probably require more weight to be put in to kick out a big wake.

Also, what is your idea of a good wake?

they spin oppisite ways the wake looks big compared to the jet boat i used to ride on last year but thats notthing special.. yeah i need more weight when i havea full tank of gas i do very well so illbuy a sac soon... a good wake for my lake is one the wind doesnt knock down and stays consistant and has nice pop

Wind knock down? Your wake gets blown flat by the win? Brutal, I am spoiled by the glass on my lake. I also find it somewhat odd that your wake gets bigger when your gas tank is full, maybe your gas tank holds a ridiculous amount of gas?

yeah its windy and by the damn there are 400 boats with wakeboarders and air chairs its nuts over there i try to aviod it and my gas tank holds 52 gallons so thats like 400 pounds heh so its a pretty significant difference

Well, that's alot of boaters.... Once you get a fat sack and find a nice and calm day, you r wake should be huge, and everything should be smooth.
