2019 Max (for sale BTW
I fill 500 in my bow with a psunami pump because I have only 2 in the boat usually. Makemakers set up, but 1000'midship. I fill rears to. 1000 approx and mids are 99%full center is full. I like HASH....look at my platform. If its 3"-4" under, I pretty good to go. Ride at 11.4 . NOW....I do often need to drain the rear some when I start because I have too much weight in the rear to get up to my 11.4. Everytime the lack of speed for me is because I have too much in the rear. I never use autowake, and never pay attemtion to my roll or pitch (maybe beacuse I know my boat well) but once I get the boat weight more evenly destributed, the speed works just fine. I have a friend that bought the same boat as mine, I did his wakemakers configuration, he didn't listen to me about all the weight in the bow, and then he called and said I can't get above 10.7. I went to the lake with him, set his rear bags around 80% mid ships full center full and we got to speed no problem. That rear weight (in my opinion) is only good maxed out if you are balancing the boat out more. Of course the prop can always have something to do with it, but I thought I would share my expeience....because I sort of went through the same thing. Just food for thought.
