The only time I've run WOT is to test the old prop and the new prop. I'd be interested to see where the new prop lands full ballast WOT. But can't imagine repropping again for scenario I would never put my engine through?

How will propping the boat for full ballast, WOT RPM impact the RPM range at wakes surfing speeds?

Thanks again for your help!!
I am running the same boat, engine and prop as you and i can knock down 5,000 rpm all day without even going 100% wide open. I usually give it just enough to get to 5,000 rpm and the spend is just a touch over 38 mph.
