Re: 2001 Vip vission

I haven't tried this myself - but I've read that when pulling wakeboarders with an I/O, you can definitely trim up a bit to force your stern into the water more, and make a bigger wake. I would think you'd need to play with this to find the sweet spot though, if you trim to far you'll just get diminishing returns.

I'm sure someone who's actually tried what I'm suggesting can verify to what degree they do it, and if its worth while.

What I usually do though is have everyone sit my back rear bench, and that's typically enough.

That is a nice boat can you post a larger picture? To answer you question you need to trim all the way down to get on a plane right away and then you can trim up slightly till you find the sweet spot. It is a little tougher with an I/O as far as a wake if you have wakeboarded behind a boat designed for that, but it can be done. You need a couple more guys in the boat toward the rear. You also may need to shorten or legnthen the rope a bit to be in the right spot of the wake. Remember if you add weight like a Fat Sac or something to the rear your control of the boat will sacrifice somewhat remember never to exceed the weight that the boat is designed for. Be careful add experiment.
