Help setting up 03 mobius for wakeboarding

[stx.dead.I]

I got an 03 mobius with 810lb rear ballas bags, the stock (400 estimate) center tank and wake tab. I am trying to find the best setup for this boat for wakeboarding. Right now i am trying the rear bags about 500lbs each center bag full and tab all the way down. The rope is at 85ft and the wake is not clean back there with lots of chop. the wave isnt clean past 50ft is what it looks like. speed is 19mph

what do i need to tweak to get this thing ramping

Wake plate should be no more than 50-75% down. All the way down is going to flatten the wake a ton. I would only use it fully deployed to waterski.
Ideal wakeboard speed should be around 21-23mph and 85' is waaaaay too long. I had an 04 and ran it fully loaded at 23mph and rode at 65'. (See pic below)
There's no way that hull is going to produce a clean wake at that rope distance and at 19mph.

At 19mph, you probably have to ride at 55-60'. It's just too slow for any rope length more that that.

So if I bump it up to 22 could I get it back to 80ft?

I think that will be a stretch, no pun intended. Why do yo want to ride so far back anyway? The ramp at that point will be small, if it does clean up at all. Shorten your rope to 65', 70' tops.

Kk I just figured longer rope is more speed coming to the wake

Not really. The harder you cut the more speed you get. Rope length doesn't change that unless you cut out so wide and then cut back in as hard as possible from the get-go; at which point you will be hauling ass and it will hurt if you don't land it! Even at 65' feet you can cut hard and get plenty of speed to clear the wake, get big air and do inverts. Key is to do a progressive cut:
Start wide and slowly cut in increasing your edge so that you are accelerating as you approach the wake. It's easier to control your approach like this, and being close to the highest point of the wake will get you more air than trusting to launch at 50mph back in the mush at 85'.
When we set up the wake we will get the ballast loaded then go out and ride just outside the wake and look at it and then adjust the rope length (rarely), speed and wakeplate position so that we are at the biggest point of the wake where it is clean. The wake should be curling about a foot or two behind that point.
