Prop could make all the difference too.
My Mom said I'm not allowed to get wet!

I have an o8 LSV with a similar set-up and with all the weight in the back, I can only get a decent wave with my wakeplate down, so it seems odd to me that you get a good wave with the wakeplate up.

I'm thinking if we upgrade to heavier rear bags that will be he next step. The boat struggles to keep a higher speed when we are loaded more that 5-6 adults and current bags full. Getting a decent wave currently but with more bag weight I'm not sure we'll be able to get 10-11 as it seems we get decent waves at those speeds.

If you add more ballast weight, you will definitely need a new prop. That's where I'm at right now as well.

I'm going to see how the boat reacts with the extra weight. Did you go 900 or 1100?

I added 1100s to each rear locker and also waited to see how the boat handled the extra weight. It didn't take long to realize I was "under propped", especially after reading what engine nut wrote about weighting your boat and not being able to get to the recommended RPM at wide open throttle (WOT). If you haven't read it, you should. It's in the Wakeboarding/wakeskating thread and is posted as "Don't kill your Engine!". This is a must read IMO when adding ballast to your boat.
