I already tried with the 400 up front with a 400 on the surf side seat. The wake was pretty good, slightly longer. I'm going to play with speed a little bit more. I know I have "enough" ballast to surf but looking for a good wake with alot of push so I can try some airs in the future. I've seen some videos of other boats going up to 14.5+mph with boats completely loaded down to the rubrail. I've gone up to 12mph but I may even try 12.5-13mph just to see...it's only a little more throttle so it couldn't hurt. I haven't tried it yet but I've heard a couple other guys on other forums filling 200-300lbs on the opposite side v-drive sac and it gives the wake more push. I haven't seen anyone on here mention that so I may as well give it a try too. This is all just experimenting. I have access to extra sacs so I may as well try some setups that I haven't seen on the Moomba forum before. Also, the XLV is the minority here so there's not alot of info on dialing it the surf wake. I can cruise all day with the current setups, I just got a Triple X skim style board and will have to figure out a setup that is not so steep (probably just more weight up front and/or wakeplate more down).

We do this and it does give a bunch more push! Once we have a good list, it's about sinking the boat deeper in the water for me. Water still below rubrail=safe

I got an 05 xlv with stock gravity 3 ballast and we added about 400lb of sand bags. Here are some pics of my buddies surfing it.
Go big or go home!
