How long should the rope be?

[JRSuperV]

On my dads boat which is a 14ft with an 80hp on it, when i am wakeboarding (Well making an attempt to) i seem to be really far away for where the wake finishes, i cant remember how for away but a long way away. I was using some not very cheep skiing rope, I'm not sure if that makes any difference.

help would be very much appreciated.

thanks jack.

U want to be at the steepest highst part of your wake. with a 14 foot boat that probably isnt very far out.

Thanks for that infomation i will try to find the steepest and highest part of the wake the help was appreciated.

Remember also that when you attach to the rear of the boat (since you probably don't have a tower on your 14' boat ) that you are effectively riding a 6-8' longer rope.

I'd start at 50' off the stern or so and go shorter yet if you don't have a good wake there.

On your boat the wake will be smaller and closer to the boatso you might want to take a look at it before you ride

if your just begining, start at 55' and work your way up. once you go w2w, move up another 5'

well on a small boat like that, you might wanna start out at 50', the rope you have is probably a 75' or an 80'.
