Hey guys, we use an older boat and our wake is always kinda broken. Is there any way around this, or something we can do to help? We have the motor trimmed up a bit, it hyelps a little, but not a great deal. Thanks!

Well im still not sure what you mean, but if it is curling over or something try speeding up. Also if it is too small add weight to your boat.

Get a good sized fat sac, that always helps.

take a few extra friends with you and speed up a bit...
Try it without being behind the boat
