I have an 03' SSV and I am stilll learning on the set-up as well.

Last time out I was able to toss the rope, but there wasn't much push to the wake, and the pocket was still pretty small.

Front:
500 lb in locker
650 lb in walkway front pushed to the surf side
Rear:
300 lb in starboard locker (I'm goofy foot)
650 lb on starboard sunpad and rear seat
no weight in port side locker.
4 people on board

Speed: 10.3mph and the plate was all the way up (0%)

The nose was a bit too heavy, but it was surfable.
