Just wondering if this is possible. I've wakeboarded off of boats from the hook but I'm not sure if the hook on the sea doo (just above the swim platform) is high enough in comparison. Not sure on the exact horsepower but I think it's between 150-200 hp. Thanks!|||Yes you can. Legally, the seadoo must be a 3 seater machine to tow anything, wakeboard included. You must have room for the driver, spotter, and recover the rider if necessary. This rule is enforced some places more than others. The horsepower is not an issue, they have tons of power for pulling. Sometimes it will seem like too much if you don't have a competent driver. Wakeboards can create an incredible amount of drag and sideways pull, and can pull the light watercraft all over the place. An inexperienced driver will compensate too hard with the throttle, and the powerful engine can really pull you off balance.
The wake won't be huge, and that, with the lack of the tower equals very little air, but certainly they work fine for surface tricks and cruising back and forth. I've wakeboarded behind them plenty of times.
More and more people that are using PWC's as their towboat are getting into wakeskating. It's very similar to wakeboarding, but without the big air tricks, and you don't create the drag a wakeboarder does, so driving is more pleasant as well.
