I use the term "planing" a bit vaguely. With the ballast all the way full, I can not get to wakeboarding speed, just seems like it pushes and pushes never getting much over 16 mph.

With the 10 people in the boat, no ballast, I can get to speed, just takes a lot longer than it should, imo. Once I got to speed, roughly 19mph for that rider, it planned out, however, perfect pass had a hard time holding it at 19 so I increased speed to about 20.5 to get it to hold a more consistant speed. This, from what I understand, will be fixed with a new prop as well.

I never have a problem with getting up or anything under small loads, I usually ride with the wake plate at about 15%, mid sack 1/2 full, front sac 1/4 full, and rear sacks about 1/3 full with just a driver at 22 mph and it does fine, I expected getting up faster, but still does the trick.
