Hi guys.
Bit of a novice having not wakeboarded for many years...I now have a 18ft bowrider with tower and hope to try a bit when the weather gets a bit warmer.
Previous times out, I was behind a 17ft maxum with 3.0. Not ideal, I know but did the job. This was a friends boat. He used to insist in putting the ballast up the bow ? I could never get this....surely you would want it at the rear so that the weight would cause the big wide flat bit of the hull to run deeper and produce a bigger wake ? Or at the very least...put it in the floor of the ski locker ?
What do you suggest I do for the best set up in mine ? She produces a decent wake as it is...being a fairly wide boat with lots of weight caused by the big lump under the hood.
Best speed ideas welcome too...I'd imagine looking at my wake, about 20-22 mph ?
Any top tips welcome. Ta
