You can make the wake of the boat bigger by adding weight to the back of the boat, like some sand bags or bags of water or some slightly overweight freinds of yours.

You do not need weight, tower or pole to jump the wake. You do need skills.

I have weight in and a tower on my boat....but there are people who cannot clear the wake. Boat/Wake does not make the rider.

Agreed. Weight will make the wake bigger. But you probably still wont be able to clear it. Keep trying and eventually you might clear it.

I agree with both riders....Sure the pole or tower helps to get big air, but u can still clear w2w...hope this helps

I am guessing you have an I/O since you mentioned trim and if you do, add weight to the front not the back if you add any.
