Slalom skiing behind a 4.3 with a 21 pitch

[cool hand]

I've just bought a 18' cobia bowrider with a Yamaha 4.3 (205hp) with a 21 pitch prop. I love to slalom ski and know the boat setup right will pull it, but I've only had it on the water for a demo run and havent had a chance to test it.

Here in Indiana with the hit or miss weather its tough finding a good weekend to hit the lake, so I was hoping someone could advise me a little bit to avoid a trial and error process that will suck up lake time.

Is there any chance this thing is gonna pull me up (6'3" 210lbs) on a slalom with couple people in the boat with this prop???

UPDATE!

Hit up Lake James in northern Indiana this past weekend for some camping and skiing. Changed to a 19 pitch and with roughly 600lb of people properly positioned (in front) and pulled me out pretty well. Overall very impressed with the 4.3/Yamaha combo.
