I have a 98 Elite-V (see profile pic) and the wake is very nice. I was looking for a used v-drive a couple of years ago and this boat has worked out well. Have tried all kinds of ballast options, but now have 700 in back, and 650 in front; it seems optimum with this setup. This hull doesn't need, nor would it respond well to 1200 - 1400 in the back. Added the mechanical-adjustable Centurion wakeplate and that helps maintain wake shape, and improves ride characteristics at higher speeds. Stock ballast and the plate were not options on a 98. Solid engine and drive train. My boat is well made and reliable, but it is not as plush and nice as some of the higher-end boats.
