Andrew Wilson, thats im thinkin. I might get a 12ft aluminum with a 9.9hp. I think that may work. How was the ride behind a zodiac?

isnt 9.9 a little low?

It might be. I tried unsuccessfully to get up on a 6hp - running start. not even close for a deepwater

yeh ive seen ppl wakeskating behind a small aluminium boat with a 15 hp. 9.9 will be too small, you can jsut get up on 15.

ive gotten up deepwater behind a 9.9 hp 9 ft zodiac. and i weigh around 140...you really have to work it. you have to pump up to get out of the water, then go back down, then pump up again and again until the boat gets on plane.

14 ft. Carolina Skiff J-14 with a 15 hp Yamaha... It pulled you up out of the water pretty good so I don't see why a 9.9 would be so bad

if i was super close to getting up with a super old 6hp, im sure 9.9 would do it

IM TELLING YOU ALL. it works, no more deliberation. even my friend who weighs like 180 got up on it. with a wakeboard though. but still. it is done.

how fast will a 9.9 go once planed while pulling?

Im telling you guys you wont get up behind a 9.9

you have to trust me on this because the reason I got a 15 is because the 9.9 I had before wouldnt pull me... satori*, yes it will work with a wakeboard... wakeskates are different... there smaller alot this surface area... Greg T, when I was wakeboarding behind a 9.9 It was harshly boggin I would have to 14 mph ...

thats pretty bad

if i were doing it, id def go with a little more power.

how much do little boats with like a 25 or 35 hp motor go for?
