Will do, thanks guys. Sadly I'm kinds the first one to get a bigger boat in my family/circle of friends so nome of them really know how to tow.

They will get better with time. When the water temps are high enough for the less hearty in your group to ski, let someone else drive while you coach up the driver. Otherwise, if you are the only one driving the boat for everyone, they aren't getting much practice and are figuring it out when you are behind the boat. The boat owner often suffers from the worst pulls.

Haha that last sentence is stuck in my head now, knowing that it's true

I agree, you are not getting the pull you give I bet :)

Also, the rope length is a big part of what wake you "get". Skiing was always the full 75' for us, slalom or duals. Kneeboard was 50' or so. Tubing the same, 50'. I have not wakeboarded or pulled any wake-ers so not sure on that. My skiing experience was more than 40 years ago now, only tubing here lately.
