Wakeboarding behind a 12ft

[rIVERMAN559]

What would you guys say if i told you that I wakeboard behind my boat on the San Joaquin river with a 15 hp motor on a 12 ft aluminum boat? If no one believes me im working on getting some pictures up.

Does anyone else wakeboard behind a seriously unpowered boat?

well, you didn't say how big you were. I started on a 14 ft chrysler cadet with a 50 hp suzuki. Probably not underpowered on a 14 ft boat for someone who is 6'0 205lbs, but a pretty small boat non the less. I hope you can get a video of it, that would be great!!
