Kma444,

Question for you since I have almost the same boat...

Can you post your ideal surf settings as a statistic? We have tried a ton of variations and this is the only setting with what i would consider a lot of push. I'm using the following:

Speed: 10.2
Wake plate: 32
Surf side ballast: 1100lbs rear locker, 200lbs under seat just ahead of locker
Front ballast: 25% (I think this is about $220lbs)
Non Surf Side Ballast: 250lbs

With no passengers or with 8, the settings seem to be best as-is above.
