I have the Raley down pat and can take it very big, but for some reason I'm afraid to even attempt the hoochie. <BR>I'm feeling pain more now that I'm closing in on 30, and I still vividly remember a lot of pain learning the raley <BR>behind an 18' Glasstron with no ballast and no pylon. Sure, my problems won't be the same this time out, but <BR>any info on how to pull this move prior to me taking it to the water would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Come in a little softer than your raley, a little more on top af the board instead of way behind it. Still get a strong load. Edge through the wake. Get the grab FIRST, then let it go back. Trying to just grab a raley is alot harder, too much whip. Pulling a Hoochie in is a little quicker since you arent so laid out. Good Luck, Jason
