The wake behind this boat was rated the best by the magazines when it's weighted properly. The thing I like about the wake is it is smooth and has plenty of transition to it. I have been behind boats where the wake has a couple of inches of vert at the top, and that's not how it is supposed to be. You should be able to cut hard into the wake and fly way out into the flat. Not cut hard, hit the wake and pop straight up. Fill the factory rear ballast, put a front sack in the ski locker, put two 350 sacks next to the engine...you'll be a very happy wakeboarder. I have riden behind Nautiques, Mastercrafts, Malibu's and they don't have the smoothness that the Supra does with this weight set up. Plus, the Launch drives great with the weight. Other boats drive sluggish, take long to plane, etc. Be sure to get a new prop though. The factory prop is usually not enough. A prop with more surface area will give you better speed stability, and lower RPM's at 22mph (which means fuel savings). I run this much weight, with an ACME 209 prop, and I swear I don't need Perfect Pass. The boat maintains speed nicely, and is easy on the gas tank. Some cons: it's a big boat, very heavy. You'll need a big truck to pull this monster. It's about 4500 lb's on the trailer.
