Wakeboarding behind pontoon

[neumanns]

Has anyone done or do this? If so what size boat and motor? I understand this will not be a preformance rig but do I have enoufgh rig to pull one. Seems to me everyone who tries it loves it and it sounds like more fun than a tube. But I would like a little more feedback before I get one. If it is of any consequence I would proabably get a wallyworld special around $139 unless that would be a mistake.

we just started doing it last year(not with a toon tho) but I would think that if you can get out of the hole and can reach 18-20 mph. you should be ok... BTW we have found that a slower acceleration is easier to get up on...good luck

I have 21 foot tracker partybarge with a 60 horse bigfoot motorI can tow a kneeboarder just fine and a single adult tuber with no problem. the kid that was kneeboarding says he is sure he can get up on a wake board we are gona try this next. We had 5 people on the boat when we did this. Have fun

I have a Suntracker 22 foot pontoon boat with a 135 Optimax and I can pull wake boarders all day and with a full load of people on board.

it takes very little to pull a wakeboarder, but... the wake behind a double tube pontoon is about as bad as you can get for wakeboarding.
