Wakeplate? Remove if non-hydrolic?

I have a wakeplate on my boat, its just flush with the boat, so shouldnt I remove that so the ass of the boat can drop to form the wake better?

No, I wouldn't. My mobius lsv is terrible in rough water with the plate up. With the back end down the hull will slap the waved and the boat will start to bounce if you don't adjust the trim back. Adjusting the plate to drop the rear is great in smooth water but I wouldn't want to operate my boat without it.

How much weight are you running when it slaps around? That shouldnt happen... I can always put it back on after I test it out....but with 3000lbs of ballast I don't think I should have a problem.
