New Member, 2012 180 SP

Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum and new to SeaDoos. I've had experience on Malibus but decided to go with a Jet for my own personal boat. So far I love it. Bought a 180 Sp. The wake is much more impressive than I expected and wakeboarding behind it is a lot of fun. Here are a few pics:

Very impressive wake you've managed to get there. Have you got any ballast?

Yeah I was quite impressed with the wake also the first time I took the boat out. It doesn't have any ballast and I only have 2 kids sitting on the back seats. With 2 grown men I'm sure I'd even get a better wake.

I have the same boat and love it. Any thoughts to where you would put a spare tire on the trailer? I'm contemplating that now.

I really don't think a spare tire would fit on the trailer. I have my boat in the marina, but if I towed it daily I might carry a spare tire in my car. The only option I could think of, and this would require some craftsmanship, would be under the front part of the trailer that connects to the truck.

Mine is in the same spot but it sits vertical.

Much closer to the hull but with the bunk system it does not hit on the dozen or so times I've launched and retrieved
