Wakeboard or ski behind 90hp pontoon boat?

My family recently purchased a 20' pontoon boat with a 90hp yamaha. I was wondering what a boat like this could pull. Can it handle a wakeboard, or is that too much drag? I weight 210 lbs, so I'm looking for a ride that will have little drag. Do I need to stick to a small tube or a kneeboard? What do you recommend? Thanks!Wakeboard or ski behind 90hp pontoon boat?
You should be able to wakeboard as long as the boat can do 18-25mph, although I'm not sure about if the wake a pontoon boat produces will be cohesive to wakeboarding.



If your really worried about extra drag, buy a Hyperlite Era or similar 3 stage board(Make sure the board is 140cm or larger(Larger==more surface area==less drag). It will sit higher in the water and pop you out of the hole a little faster.



You can ride a wakeboard just messing around doing slides and stuff around 10-12mph, but if you want to do any real riding, you need the extra speed.Wakeboard or ski behind 90hp pontoon boat?
Yes although it's not the ideal watercraft for eithersports, you can wakeboard or ski behind a pontoon boat, my family has a 24 ft. pontoon boat with a 90hp Merc on it , I'm 6 3 185lbs and it can easily pull me up wakeboarding and skiing, even with 6-8 people on board, so you should be able to get up without too much difficulty.Wakeboard or ski behind 90hp pontoon boat?
yeah you can wake board behind your pontoon.



but before you buy a board fiuger what kinnda boarder are you.

are you a fearless go big kinnda guy.

or are you laid back Cruise around crave alot kinnda rider.

it depends on how your gonna ride.



if your new to wake boarding STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM BOARDS WITH 3 STAGE ROCKERS, get a board with a little rocker like a continues rocker it ll be easy er to Handel it will have less a tendency to slide out from under you. and you ll be able to clear your wake from one side to another.



go with a board about 137cm to 140 at the most the shorter the easy er to move and spin around.



and if you want good deals on boards look on eBay.

and for the best bindings you ll ever wear look up CWB tourq hinge bindings, there almost step in bindings

you can get in them with out lube or water

ez on off dry or wet best bindings i ever bought.



and for boards just what ever you like style wise kept in the size range i said and with a CONTINUES rocker.
You should be fine.



3 stage is more agressive, more pop.



Continous is more stable for just riding, but less explosive.



There are variations are the two.



Go continous if you just wanna ride as stated above.^^.

Go 3 stage if you want to jump the wake.You won't have a lot to begin with and the continous won't get you very far off the water.
