I just got an old boat running this year. Have been fishing and now that it is warming up we went tubing. While I was out I thought I would try the single. I have not slalomed since I was a teenager over 20+ years ago(and 20+ pounds ago) back then I was pretty good. Any way, I made a couple of good cuts (got an elbow down even) and after that I was spent. My boat is not the most powerfull thing so it took alot just to get up. So I am wondering if wakeboarding would be easier for an old guy. I don't think I need to do the ariel flips and rolls, but it sure looks like alot of fun. After having been off the water for so long it seems like skiing is not the "cool thing" anymore.
Also, is my boat up to the task? I have an old 16ft trihull fish&ski with a 140 mercruiser. It seems to me that you want a large wake that you can jump. Unlike the slalom ski that you want a small wake because you have to cut all the way through the wake to make the next turn. My wake is fairly small but I do have electric trim. Can I use the trim to produce a large wake?
Any help would be appreciated.
