Wake Surfing in an 06 LSV?
I know this question has been asked a million times but I need to know the perfect wake surfing setup for my boat (06 LSV)? My dad is getting up there in age and has fallen in love with surfing. The problem is it takes us forever to get a good wake. I have the factory center ballast hookup and that is it. If money was no object, what would you do to it? No lead but hooking up sacks in a system and how big of sacks and where? What to do with the wedge etc...
Thanks for the help.

Plenty of LSV owners will chime in but at minimum put a 750 sac in the V-drive locker on the surf side and put some people or another 400lb sac on the seat on the surf side as well. You probably will need a couple/few hundred pounds in the bow to lengthen the wave. I believe the plate is going to be around halfway +/- but should get close enough to tune the lip/shape

I don't want to deal with filling them all the time then having to empty them to cruise around. So 750 in each back and fill the surf side up full and the other half and 400 in the front along with what's in the center?

You'll have to fill and empty a few times per day if you cruise or have people who ride regular and "darkside". Leave the opposite side ballast empty. Only fill the surf side, center, and maybe a bow sac to tune the wake. You could have an extra sac on the surf side seat if you don't have enough people to sit on the surf side seats.

the Wedge? You sure you have the right "M boat"
I don't think your going to like the solutions here. Even with the stock pump set up it take a while to fill and empty balast. Heck the only real speed difference is the time to hook up and un hook vs flick the switch.
And don't forget as was mentioned that you have two differnt set ups for reg vs goofy, and the same set up just switched from port to starboard doesn't always work either due to prop rotation direction
