Okay, I have the worst wakeboarding boat possible! It's a pontoon and I can get up and everthing but there is no wake hardly at all! Next year we're gettin' a deck boat but that's not a big improvment but we don't have the money to get a good boat!!!! what can I do to help at all? Also possible things to do such as pylon? any help would be appreciated!

There is plenty to learn without a wake, and plenty of super cheap wakeboarding boat options. Search the boat forum for boat info. There is a great post stickied all about affordable wakeboard boat options.

what do you mean a deck boat is no improvement? there is a deck boat at my cottage and the waves from it almost flipped my 14 foot aluminum boat!

really, i've just heard they've sucked not from personal experience! I'lle let you know what happens when we get it! Do you thing I should just hook the line the normal way or make a pylon?

i ride behind a pontoon boat and all though its more of a performance pontoon (350hp i/o, 3toon, 800lb fat sac) its a heck of a lot of fun and can learn lots of things behind it... obviously not huge 360backrolls and such but none the less mucho fun and just valuable experience riding.

i would definately say get a pylon up and working. ive rode behind pontoons without a pylon and having a pylon is a lot nicer ive found.
at any rate just go out and have fun.. make up your own tricks and get real good at the fundamentals..

Yeah! My dad's really space cautious so i'lle have to talk him into a pylon because he likes a lot of room and to be able to have people on the boat. but thanx.wut about fat sacs.?

do you have a swim platform you can stick a pylon on?
fatsacs probably won't help if you just got a run of the mill 2 toon / outboard setup.
