The issue I was bringing up was with the XLV having clean wakes on both sides under 23mph. I assume the larger boats or larger freeboard need more speed but hull design plays a role. I've played around with every ballast configuration. Once you start crashing at 23+...that stuff hurts. I know it's not really an issue with the pros or long line riders because they usually ride 24-25mph and Randall Harris rides up to 28mph with a 92' line. It's not really a big deal to me with having the one side slightly washed on the lip because it's never on the side the wakeboarder is on...that side is clean. On my XLV once you jump the opposite side that had the slight wash cleans up so basically the side the rider is on is always clean. This only happens around 22mph and below. Anything around 22.5-23 and above, both sides are clean.
