I had the top of the suc gate 2 inches out of the water so when I was moving it was under.
It shaped the wake, just wish my wave had more push.
Any thoughts on how to get the push better? My ski platform is really digging in, wonder if it's causing any issues.

Here is a video of me and my son on both sides of the wave.

Hard to tell how high the wave is with the angle of the gopro.
Push comes with height of the wave. A couple ways to get more height: More weight in rear, wakeplate angled up. Just for testing purposes, try putting a 750lb bag on your rear seat, and the other 750 on the floor behind the engine and see what happens. If that works, just move some people to the front of the boat to help with length.

I have a V-drive, so I've got the engine weight behind mine with another 1500 in ballast on either side of it. I just think you need more weight back there being a DD.

Do you have a wakeplate?
