When I first started waking was on a skurfer, the first, about15 years ago we rode behind a 13 foot boat with a 9.9 and that was enough to pull a wakeskater I'd say 4 sure

My 14ft has a steering wheel, seats and a 35HP. I should take it out and try to wakeskate it. It's from the 70's, and called a ski and troll. haha.

Sorry Benray 9.9 works; but that was when I was little. The guys are right get something bigger. I meant 20-40 for sure. Alex is right at least a 30 -35
