Weighting an XLV

I have a LF Venture 5.0 and an 06 XLV. We surfed yesterday with the left rear and center/front ballast full, the wake we were riding was decent but not what I'm seeing in pics here. We rode at about 10.5-11mph. I don't want to weight the boat to the point where it's unsafe. Any suggestions? Also, wake plate up or down?

I think idealy you are gonna want about 800-1000 up front and like 750 on the side in ballast. The fly high 750 sacks fit the side lockers well.

here is my xlv with 750 in the rear locker and 700# up front and and about 8 people on the boat going 9.5-10mph

That's a nice wake entrust. What does your starboard wake look like?
