I am just getting into wakeboarding again (though I never progressed much past crossing wakes when I learned in high school 15 years ago) and loving it. Here's the thing, though: we spend all our lake time as a family at a small sailing lake and the yacht club pool area where we belong. Atwood Lake has a 25 HP limit, so I bought a light, agile boat and the fastest available 25 I could get at the time. I have a Lund 1440V SS and a 2005 Nissan 2 stroke that's running as the 30HP variant thanks to a carb gasket swap and timing adjustment by my shop. Anyway, I can start just fine and the wake doesn't seem as terrible as it may sound from my little V hull. I even pulled up a 210 lb. friend for his first ride ever behind this boat. I weigh 160 so it's great for me. The boat planes easily (with some patience) around 16 and can pull up to 25, but I keep it around 19-21 or so for wakeboarding.
If I'm trying to make the most of my experience on this boat and lake, should I just stick to playing with rope length to be able to jump wake to wake and continue moving on from 180s and elementary grabs as best as I can, or would you try a 350lb ballast and 4 blade prop to (hopefully/potentially) keep pulling power while adding a bit more wake?
Any thoughts are appreciated. Like I said, I'm super new to all of this but want to make the most of my boat on our little lake. Thanks!
