Max surf settings??
Just got my Max delivered here in Australia and took it out on the weekend. The wakeboard wake was awesome however I couldn’t get the surf wave to set up. I was running full stock ballast, two 750 bags under the middle seats, trim plate at 0, standard wake plate settings and tried speeds between 9 and 13 mph with no luck. Auto wake was off. Can anyone help with the settings I need to get the wave to stand up?

You should try with the Autowake on, you have plenty of weight for an awesome wave.
The MAX I used this season had an extra 600 mid ship. 100% surf side, 85-90% non surf and 90% bow, I can't remember the surf tabs but I think they were 60-70%. Autowake is your friend and you should learn the system and how it works, I promise you will love it...

By not set up, what exactly do you mean? No wave at all? No push...short...tall...etc? How deep is your lake? My wave disappears with depth readings in the single digits.
I have a very similar set up (except no auto wake) and since I have goofy and regular folks out all the time just fill it all up and switch back and forth with great waves (goofy a little less clean without the slight listing). Try going up to, but not past, 20 on the center wake plate. Speed likely best between 10.8-11.8ish. For Goofy (surf right) stock plate settings I believe are 70 and on the surf right stock plate is at 60.2018 Max - Ultrablue flake/Gray - 4400 lbs water (720s midship), 750 lbs lead somewhere

The wake had some height but doesn’t curl and is mellow without push?

My personal opinion is that you will need more weight in the rear than the stock bags.
I run 1280s in the rear lockers, 800s under the side seats, factory front bag, and a 500lb IBS. I also have a bit of lead in the rear locker. I normally have a light crew. 11-12 mph, wakeplate at 0, surf tabs at 45-50 for regular, and 55-60 for goofy.2018 Max with a little extra weight here and there

That’s impressive! What kind of RPM?
I had an SE with similar weight and a 440 and she was on the ragged edge sometimes. Most of the time OK but a full boat would tip the scale.
The wave has to be killer with a Max at that weight.

I run in the mid 3000rpm range. Too much weight in the the back will not allow it to get moving well. You need the more balanced approach with some weight in the front to get the hull angle working for you. If I have a full boat of people I don’t need all the of the weight.
The wave is pretty nice.
