   It is possible to wakeboard behind just about any boat which which is fast enough. But specialized wakeboard boats make it easier and more fun. Typically around 18-24 ft, wakeboarding boats have several key features. Like general ski boats they have a flattish or shallow v hull. But in addition they are often fitted with a wakeboard tower, and a ballast system to increase diplacement.

   The tower raises the point from which the rope is pulled, to about 2 m above the water, this gives the wakeboarder more control and makes jumps easier. Increasing ballast makes the boat heavier, which produces a bigger wake.

   A lot of wakeboard boats are fitted with a V drive system which allows the motor to be further aft at the same time as the propellor being further forward. This improves weight distribution for creating the wake, whilst keeping the propellor forward reducing the danger of it.
