Any Video of Someone Catching Big Air Behind a I/O Boat?

[Aar-Cooled]

Anyone know of a video of someone catching some big air behind a boat that is NOT a wakeboard boat? I have a 23' Rienell 230 LSE with a tower and I'm just curious if it's still possible to catch big air on a wakeboard behind it. I know my wake will never be as big as a wakeboard boat with ballasts, just curious what an experieced rider can do behind a boat like mine. Thx.

A video i do not have but yes you can get big air behind an I/O. I have a small 18' one that will put off a decent wake... You just have to play with trim and weight distribution. We used to have a 22' all aluminum I/O deck boat... Thing was ugly as sin and weighed as much as a small yacht but it would put off a wake just as big as a true wakeboard boat. But like I said try working with it a little and if you aren't happy with the wake then look into a universal ballast system... Or find a few fat friends!

There is an old thread in here somewhere of an guy getting massive air off an old school wakeboard behind a boat with minimal wake. Hopefully someone will bump it up. Its pretty humbling to those of us blaming our wakes for or lack of high flying abilities.

+1. I used to have a boss that would say "It's a poor craftsman who blames his tools."

Found it, but its is not an IO, its an outboard on a bareboot boat.

Wow! That is amazing. I guess I can't use my mediocre wake as an excuse anymore . Thanks for taking the time to find that video.

Chaparral sales video. But there is some decent riding in it.

That is a nice boat! Not sure if it counts though. Ballast and all that... Cheating surely!
