Unless you're really good, I'd avoid increasing the speed. Crashes hurt exponentially more the faster you're going, plus the extra speed gives novice and intermediate riders less time to react... It's quite unnecessary. You have several options to clean up the wake. If you're not already doing at least wake to wake jumps and preferably also some grabs and spins, I'd try many or all of these to also allow you to drop your speed and still get a clean wake preferably down near 19-20 until you are doing at least some tricks.
- use the trim tab or wake plate - somewhere between 20-50% may do the trick.
- drop ballast.
- shorten your rope. Try dragging your rope with no rider and shorten it so the handle is just barely inside the clean part of the wake. That's the right length for that boat at that speed with that amount of ballast.
If the wake is clean on one side but not the other, have people in the boat move where they are sitting to put more weight on the washed out side. I remember it as "step on the foam" i.e., put more weight on the foamy side.
That X-55 should clean up nicely.
