Can my boat pull up a wakeboard effeciently without a wake tower?

Question

I have a 19' 2004 Tracker Tahoe Q3 Fish/Ski with a 90 HP Mercury Outboard on it. The boat has no wake tower and I just ordered a CWB Sol 141 wakeboard and I want to know if I just wasted my money or not! The boat tops out at 41 mph and has a 19" pitch stainless propeller on it...what are your thoughts? I have never wakeboarded before so I am clueless!

Answer 1

You can wakeboard behind any boat or jet ski. Wakeboats are boats that are made specifically for wakeboarders. The tower is the help the rider get higher into the air and you can also put your wakeboards on the racks on the sides of the tower. The tower gets you higher because your rope is placed higher in the air letting you get higher in the air too. Also they weigh down the back of the boat to give you a higher wake. I wouldn't suggest weighing your boat down because it will throw off the boats balance and might flip your boat back.

Answer 2

it will be able to pull you, but you won't have any good wake, so i suggest learning how to wakeboard with this boat and if you like it, try upgrading to a wakeboard specific boat.

Answer 3

it will do fine for just getting up and wakeboarding, but your wake wont be very big so once you start jumping and when you get better it might be a little dissapointing. only one way to know for sure though, go try it out!
