I need a rope now and dont know what too get.

I dont have a wake tower so ill be using the rings made for towables like tubes. So should i get a wakeboarding main line or a tube mainline?

Idk how too set any of this up.

What is a "V" option and what is a "T" option.

Thanks in advance.

What kind of boat do you have and where is your connection point?

you're going to need a wakeboard specific rope. it will be called spectra, look for that word. some will say low stretch but they are not what you're looking for. Tube mainline has too much stretch. you will however probably need to use one of those big 10 ft sections of rope that has two clips and then you hook your mainline to the middle of it.

Yeah I know we ride behind an outboard too, big fat rope with big metal hooks one ends. It'll keep your $100+ rope out of the prop

Yeah, dbismyname, is right. They do make a connection point to allow you to connect to those two transom tie down hooks that will give you a center connection point. You're going to need that. Then follow his advice on the spectra rope.
