I know, a little hard to tell from the pic....but its from a 1980 SKV 21' daycruiser with a 383 stroker engine. I had 5 people in the boat and no weight in the bow or locker (next step after I get a high five prop).

What speed are you riding at? The gloves make the wake look a lot smaller than it is.

Not too bad. I mean not anything close to an inboard but pretty good for an i/o. First picture you're back into the wash so you're either going to slow or riding too far back. Second picture looks like a decent shape but night a lot of height.

Haha, yes I wear gloves. The rope is high due to the pylon I built, but not shown in the pictures.

I feel stupid, but the boat doesn't have a speedo just a tach. The prop is a three blade stainless 23p. Next upgardes are prop and ballast in the bow and locker.

Again, just a newb gettig into the sport with what I got.

cool man, wake looks great to me Smile I noticed in your picture you're riding with the classic slalom grip (one wrist each way like a deadlift). Try getting used to both palms down grip as it puts you in a more balanced position.

I'd be happy with that wake assuming you're going 23 mph ish.
