It might help to have more information on speed and rope distance, e.g. 32 at 22 off, etc. on my Comp the rooster tail is not a factor. It's there but does not affect crossing the wake. I have a factory plate set at the lowest. It's basically flush with the bottom. A little over inch of threads between turn locks. You also might want to try skiing with 1/4 tank of gas. Anything to lighten the back of the boat. Hah! The thought occurs to me that this is probably the first time some has said "lighten the back of the boat" on the Forum!

Back to thread. I'm thinking of converting to an electic hinged wake plate in order to take advantage of the versatile nature of the Comp. But in order to get the full range of travel and accomodate actuator length, need to use a little longer wake plate. Still talking it over with mechanic and Lenco. Will let you know.
