Old supra for wake surf

I use a hydrodyne ski boat which sits pretty low in the water and am thinking about upgrading to something with high sides so I won't take on any water when weighted down. I run about 1500 pounds plus passengers. The old supra ski boat has a darn big hull kind of like the new wake boats. Does anyone know what the old supra weighted wake looks like?

Here's a pic of me surfing behind our 1991 Supra Marauder. We use around 1400 pounds ballast bags plus 1-2 passengers. If we have more passengers we need to unfill one of the ballast bags since we've found too much weight destroys our wake.

Thanks, I need to take some pics of my wave so I can compare a picture to a real life wave. Anyway I assume no danger of taking on water and swamping the old supra with that kind of weight. Even turning around to pic up a surfer makes me worried as the water comes over the port side gunnel when a wake boat goes by or slowing by my own wake. Hope to never have the insurance claim and ruin the water.
