New boat and new to wakeboarding

Well after growing up around boats, I finally have one of my own. It is not the biggest or the best, but it fits my needs and my families. I bought a Bayliner 175 with the XT package, basically a wakeboard tower. Here is a pic on our first day on the river.

Picked up my first wakeboard yesterday and can not wait to try it out.

It is a really nice wake. I am happy with every part of this boat. If you need a bigger wake, I guess you could add some fatsacks.

Blaster how much air are you able to get off your wake ... do you have pics / video?

Just started but I am able to catch about 4 feet w2w. Not bad for 4 weekends of wakeboarding..

Nice ... we have the same boat without the tower, but I am only about to get about 2 feet but go w2w. I can get more behind a friend's moomba, but I was always guessing it was my technique rather than the wake, and I think that this confirms it.
