I ride behind a honda aquatrax. They cost less than the sea-doos but are just as good. @ 55-60 ft. back the wake is about 8 in high tops. I ride 65 ft. back (new rope) and the wake is 5 or 6 in. tops. The wkae is washy, decent shape, and you can only decnt height of a d-up or other boats wake. The Sea-Doo Wake is probably the same just cleaner, it doesn't matter at that sized wake anyway. If you get a honda don't get the turbo or you'll wear it out fast, then the jet ski won't run. _________________ i have mastered the art of the wipeout. |

PWCs are good for persons just learning how to get up and cross the wake and are great for wakeskates or wakeboarding with rails/kickers. PWCs are also pretty fun when you first get them for cruising and doing top spins etc. but that stuff gets routine pretty quickly. Seadoo makes a wake specific PWC with a pylon, but just about any 3 seater will have a place to tow from but none will have a wake worth anything to do wake to wake tricks.
If you are on a PWC budget and really want to wakeboard I would try to find a 10 y.o. I/O. |

wakeskate behond a jetski works fine
wakeboard also, but no good wake... _________________ * riding finless teaches you to get your edge down properly, when you do it with fins, you'll be able to cut like OJ Simpson
