15hp 12' Wakeboard boat!

[terryw20]

I use a 12ft quintrex with 2008 merc 15hp 2 stoke and it pulls me (85kg) up out of the deep water :) with 2 90kg blokes in the boat..

[DieCartoon]

Nice work dude ;)

[lonestarmetal]

not bad at all considering most of this shit is done behind 350hp boats with 46" towers

[Miller66492]

How many feet was the boat you used ?

[Seif5034]

lol it's like a bunny hill for wakeboarding =)

Do you know what pitch prop your motor has? Should be stamped on it.

[shewbawka]

@deepsouthtech It's the stock prop, 9 pitch. I have a 10 pitch on it now that I prefer, better weighted top end perfermance. I've gotten 29mph on the gps and 25mph with 3 people

Wow! Great video. That 15 merc flies!! What a great little motor. That looks like a ton of fun!

Can my 18 foot Nautic star fishing boat with a 90 hp 2009 mercury on it work?

[900bigd]

Thanks bro. Yea We can dock start an if not tht then Weill do a running dock start. And I found a '86 evenrude 15. U think it can do the job? And wht year is ur motor??

[shewbawka]

@900bigd '94

[shewbawka]

@900bigd '94 and maybe the Evinrude could do the job, but definitely not as well.

[900bigd]

Long ass time. I'm 185 and my buddy is 190 can we still wakeskate behind a 15 hp? We got a 12 ft tinny an I wanna buy a 15 so wht year is your motor? I would hav to get a newer one right?

[shewbawka]

@900bigd It depends on your technique, some riders of the same weight can put less drag on the boat.I was able to pull 170lb guys with my 9.9. I havn't tried it with anyone as heavy as 190 but I'm thinking it can be done.. especially if the rider can dock start.

[900bigd]

Dude that's fucking sick I wanted to do this for a

[5marcopolo]

how diddnt the rivets pop out 

[boatbros23]

do you have to go full speed to go wakeboarding?

[shewbawka]

@boatbros23

Depends on the rider, I like to go full speed which is likely around 23-24mph and also the speed I ride behind the Nautique (in the background). I usually always ease off for friends, especially when it's choppy out!

Wake to Wake

[shewbawka]

There's two handles at the back from tying up, just made a v-line to keep the pull in the center.

[bw905]

@shewbawka thats what i figured, suprised the rivets didnt pop...or the whole transom for that matter haha

[rjc0l3]

@shewbawka Is the line connected to the motor?

[shewbawka]

@rjc0l3 No! It's connected to the handles with a v-line.

[bw905]

haha, what did you tie on to?
