Over the winter I'll be adding the Acme 1235 prop and I hear that cleans up the lip of the wake.

I usually only fill the center ballast with 3-4 ppl in the boat. Run about 23-24 mph for nice clean wake. 70'-rope.
When we really want to see what the XLV can do...12 ppl, full ballast, have to run about 26mph to get a clean wake at 70'. But damn it is HUGE!

Being a beginner myself with only W2W 180 as my best trick it's nice to have a clean wake at lower speeds 18-20 to experiment vs 23+mph. I'm finding it intriguing at how weight sensitive side to side my XLV is. Litterally shifting 50lbs from one side to the other can make or break a clean wake on both sides.
