I can relate.

Did you try with 2 skis? Significantly less hp is required using 2 skis. 100 horses ought to be plenty that way, but I'm not surprised you struggled if you were going slalom.

Also, a special prop, sized and pitched to maximize the boat for skiing, can help dramatically. Specifically, it will have less pitch, which reduces top speed, but improves the hole-shot.
