Rear seat has a 650 lb sac
Rear Floor has 3 150 lb sacs
Front locker has a 1180 sac
In general more front weight gives you more wave length, more rear weight gives you more height or push.
When I was running my original swim platform I would put the wake plate 3/4 up to clean up the wave a bit. With I replaced the swim platform with the new Supra Surfing swim platform I put the wake plate all the way up because the swim platform isn't digging into the wake anymore. Old platform had a lip on it and was a bit smaller. Initially I didn't think the new surfing swim platform improved the wave that much. But after moving the wake plate all the way up I do see a nice improvement in the wave.
