Can I wakesurf behind a 2017 Yamaha 210SX?

I am a beginner-to-intermediate wakesurfer and I am looking at buying a sweet 2017 210SX in great condition. I know it's not built for wakesurfing like the 212X (which I love but cannot afford) but if I buy the wakebooster kit and perhaps some ballast, can I get a decent wake to have some fun? I'm not talking anything fancy, just fun? Can I get out of the water without a tower? How much ballast do you think I'd need and where do you suggest placement? Appreciate any insight to help a (potential) new jetboat owner out!
Thanks!

glad to have you on board, update your profile with your location so we know where you're at,

I THINK you should be able to,

you'd probably need a transom bag and at least one bag on the floor or surf side,

I've never tried to get being pulled up by the walk through tow spot but I can't imagine it's that much more difficult especially if you already have the muscle memory of getting up,
