Any boat powerful enough to pull a wakeboarder out of the water, yes. But if the wakeboarder is anything other than a beginner, it's boring behind anything short of an actual wakeboard boat. At at least a ski boat. Most boats don't produce a wake good enough for boarding at the right speed.
The master of the boat must report to CBP telephonically and be directed to the nearest Port of Entry to satisfy the face-to-face requirement, or report to the nearest designated reporting location along with the boat's passengers for inspection.

Per state and federal law, an operator is responsible for his or her vessel's wake and any damage or personal injury it may cause.
Wakeboarding boats are also usually equipped with a tow rope that attaches to the back of the boat. This rope is used to pull the wakeboarder behind the boat. Wake surfing boats, on the other hand, don't always use a tow rope. Instead, the rider can be pulled by a handle that's attached to the side.
