How does the 2023 AR190 pull a wakeboarder?

I own a 2003 LX210 with twin engines and am concerned about how the AR190 will pull me wakeboarding.
Mostly it is only my wife and I and I really think I will like the small size of the AR190. I definitely like the smaller price compared to larger boats but how does it pull?
I live in Maryland and the dealers are not interested in letting you have a test drive or anything.
and
I guess I'm "Thrifty" and not really interested in the 195 or the supercharged models if the plain ole AR190 will do the trick.
Thoughts?
 
Hello Joe! I have a 2022 AR190 and even with my almost 200 pounds I'm still capable to have fun wakeboarding. It pulls well however the wake is small for more radical jumps.
 
Thanks

I was not expecting a great wake - just needed enough power to pull me up and you have answered that question

Thanks again
