My goofy side wave was much easier to get dialed in, so I would also start on that side it was absolutely clean, long and big from day one using stock settings and autowake, and got better with Wake9's recommendations (i.e. around 9 - 9.5 pitch, 3 to 4 degree's of roll, and we like the boat around 11.2mph). I have 1000lbs of lead but don't use all of it depending on how many people are on the boat. Sometimes its just two of us, so I bring all the lead. What I really struggled with was the regular side wave, I just couldn't get a consistent wave, and especially I couldn't get a clean wave. I could get a big wave depending on settings, but it was always dirty. I'd go with around 9 - 10 degrees of pitch, and about -1 degree of roll, as Wake9 suggested as a starting point, but it was dirty on my boat. I learned that not every boat is identical, you have to experiment and find what works on yours. It took me awhile to realize I needed more roll on my boat on the regular side... with about about negative 4 to 4.5 degrees of roll the regular wave got super clean! Lead really helps a lot, you can move it around and experiment to see what works, getting those ballast tanks full definitely gets a bigger wave. Once I get a wave I like, I turn off autowake and just lock everything in for that rider. Don't be afraid to experiment and take a lot of notes so you remember. Change one thing at a time, otherwise you won't know what change made a difference.

Something that I'm struggling with is speed... autowake doesn't seem to get my boat up to the right speed, I think I may have a calibration issue? If I set autowake at 11.2mph for instance, my boat will go 10.0 or something like that, if I bump up the autowake speed, say to 14, my boat my go up to 10.8 or so. My boat has no problem returning to dock at full speed so its not a prop issue, or systemic engine issue. Has anyone else experienced something like this with autowake? I'm going to call it into Supra, but thought I was mention it here to see if someone else has seen this problem.
I couldn't spin a 14.5 x 14.25 with full ballast when I got my 2017 SA 450. I went throu 4 lol rops to try and figure it out. Brought it into the dealer and they diagnosed the fuel pump at load wasn't getting to pressure. Just an idea.
