all depends on boat's wake.. find the optimal speed for your wake..
usually most people do 20-23.5 mph.

wake time, hrm.... lots of weight in a 60/40 ratio. 60% in the rear 40% mid/bow. lots of people on top of that. if you have toruble getting out of the whole get a better prop. might want to drop a perfect pass in there since itll be hard to maintain constant speed. but if it was me, i'd sell that boat and get a late 90's early 00 wake boat. i picked up a mint 00 xstar with 190 hours for 29k with automatic ballast system. tower speakers and some other goodies. all it needs is pp.

He doesn't have a prop, it's a seadoo. There's a section somewhere on this site about progressive edging, you should read it if you want to learn how to get more pop.

You say you get a nice wake off that? What all have you done to it? I can't imagine a sea-doo giving off any wake since I rode behind a sportster a little while ago...
