Longer surf wave!!!!
My current setup behind my 02 LSV is a 500-600lb bag in the starboard locker and the ski locker bag full (its the stock bag that came with the boat). I keep the wake plate up and run between 10-11.5. I am usually out with several people so I have them sit in the starboard back corner and possibly a person up front.
With that set up I have no problem getting right up and dropping the rope and having fun on the wave. I get some nice height and curl out of the wave, BUT the sweet spot it sooo short and close to the swim deck. I see pics of ppl riding what seems much further back from the boat than me.
How do I get my wave longer? It is possible without more weight, cause with the current setup and 6-8 ppl I can get some real nice list in the boat, or am I just limited by the size of my boat?Last edited by ag04blast; 08-29-2011 at 05:15 PM.

Try putting more weight up front - that should lengthen the pocket.

I have an '07 Ouback V which I believe is the same hull as your boat. I have a 750lb in each locker, and put a 400lb bag in the front directly over the ski locker, which has factory ballast. With 500-600lb + people in the back you definitely need at least on person in the front, maybe two. It makes a huge difference in the wave.
Here is a short video of our wave, 750 in locker, factory ski locker bag, 400 above ski locker, 150lb driver, 200lb passenger sitting behind driver:
