Default Rope Length

I have a 21 foot rinker with the RX package that includes a ski tower. What should my rope length be and is it from the back of the boat or the tower. Where it is now you have a huge wake to clear, and last year my brother got 13 above his eye trying to make it across. Is there a preferred length? And can I be two close to the boat?

Hi there.

All you need to do is a bit of trial and error. Start with the rope on 60ft (from the tower). Ride like this for a bit, ajust the speed and weight in the boat(moveing ppl is the easiest way to do this) to get a nice wake and see how you do/feel. From there just ajust the the rope lenth weight and speed till you feel confident.

EASY!!!!
