Rope Length behind an '06 Glastron?

I've got an '06 Glastron and I just bought a new Ronix RX 80' rope. The smallest it goes is 65' which when I'm riding behind my friends wakesetter is way to close but behind my boat is seems way to long. I know theres a huge difference between my boat and a wakesetter but do most of you guys ride at 65'? If so how fast do you guys go?

I ride about 60-65 behind my I/o at about 22. I ride 75 and 22.5 behind my buds x1

It wouldn't surprise me if you had to ride on a shorter line. When I had an I/O my rope was tied around 55'-60' from the tow eye going 19.5 mph. I never measured so I don't know the exact length, we just set it to ride in the sweet spot and not have the wakes too far apart. I now ride 75' at 22 mph behind my SANTE.

It all depends on when the wake cleans up behind your boat and how wide the wake gets. My I/O's wake went wide really fast so we had to ride on a shorter line.
