In my opinion the best wave is with the wake plate at 0 and the surftabs deployed just enough to clean up the wave (45-50 for regular, goofy 50-60).

I completely agree *IF you have enough bow weight. From my experience with only 400 extra lbs of lead in the bow and an extra 800lbs +crew in the rear, I need about 10-15% on the wakeplate to lengthen the pocket (without increasing speed to the point it’s hard to stay with the boat) if I don’t have any adults sitting up front.

Just ordered a 18' Max. Having it setup with :
- 1100s in the rear
- 950s under middle seats
- standard 1100 belly
- 400s each side in bow
Should this work? Any recommendations anyone? Could i get more weigh in the bow somehow? Do I need to?
Thanks

I am not sure that the 950s under the side seats or the w 400s in the bow will fill al the way but the should serve you well. You may want to consider a IBS rather than 2 bags under the bow seats but in the end weight is weight.
You may find that you need more weight in the rear(or less in the front) to get the height you want from your wake. I don’t think you will need more bow weight. But test it out. Testing is a lot of the fun.
The Max loves weigh and comes alive with lots of it.

Interesting; why the IBS over the bags? And which IBS would you recommend?

Whatever fits and fills the most. I have a 500 IBS. A bigger bag would likely work but I have not tested any other size. Most 400s will be too tall for under the seats, especially with the floor design in the Max since it is raised a bit. It will also bit weight closer to the bow.
