I have a Mako 171 with a 90 Johnson and was wondering if there was anything I could do to it to make it a better wakeboarding boat. Hopefully removable but thats not nessesary.

Add some weight, spread it out evenly around the boat. I fill up big coolers with water, or you can use lead, or just free weights for working out. Also, you might want to consider and extended pylon or highpole. Or if you have some cash you might want a tower.

| Trim your motor up about 10-15 degrees....puts the bow higher and sinks the back end down, which=bigger wake |

Great ideas, I go offshore fishing so I have coolers that would sink the boat, and the engine trim should raise the wake and the fuel bill  (a friend of mine did the math, in general it costs about $60 a minute to have fun).
