2023 AR195 Redirecting Wake for Tubers

[Tkershah]

Hello All,

I recently purchased a 2023 AR 195 for use on a lake in Michigan. Love the boat so far, but I noticed the wake created behind the boat at tubing/skiing speeds is pretty rough. I have young children that will be tubing this summer and I'm trying to figure out a way to minimize wake or redirect it so the kids don't get a face full of water. Other than purchasing a longer tow rope, are there any options/recommendations?

Thanks.

I know this is not the answer you’re looking for, but since I’m in the same boat as you are (195S with young kids) I bought a Booster Ball,

It helps a little with the jet spray so it’s more like a band aid at the moment.
Good luck

Longer rope is the general consensus. I’ve added an extension like this to my normal rope and it seems to be about right.
