Since my family doesnt have any proper boats, we only have a 14ft with a 15hp motor.. could i wakeboard behind it once? It goes about 25 with 2 people in it.
Thanks guys
Oliver

Yeah you can probably wakeboard behind it, it might be hard and you might not get up, but go for it.

im thinking a dock start would be best because with the board going through the water when you get up, that could put alot of strain on the engine.

It beats sitting at home..... but it also help you pick up bad ridding habits. 15 hp doesn't have any continious pull.

| you'll run into a few problems with this as it is 15hp is very low considering most boats now-a-days have over 200hp, a dock start is probably your only choice as it was i tried a deep water start of a 50hp and could barly get up (and i'm about 160lbs) if you do get up the boat will lose all power when you cut. not to brust your buble but theres a fat chance it'll work. but if you do decided to take a vid cam and post it, maybe a record. peace. |
