Nope. I never learned as a kid, and I'm really not very inclined to now. We pulled one of my teenage sister in laws and her boyfriend on a wakeboard and it seemed to do fine, and we've pulled a variety of adults on tubes. Is yours a 4 or a 6 cylinder? Ours is a 190 HP 4.3 V6 and a pretty lightweight boat, it has more than enough performance for us. I dinged up the prop so I upgraded to a 4-blade, that made a bid difference as well.

LOL. I'll start by saving for a bigger boat. Ours would get swamped on most big lakes like Lake of the Ozarks.
