Teresa Jared-I know it's a different boat, but I was experiencing the exact same problems with my '05 21v, (having 2 b right on the deck, a high wake but very short pocket). I had the stock bags 250# in each rear locker, and 600# in front locker. We finally added more weight in all areas (rear and front lockers) but more importantly, put as much weight as possible in the front to bring the nose down and that helped a TON. A buddy of mine and my dealer advised me that a good rule of thumb (at least on the 21v's) is to distribute the weight in a way that your rub rail is as even as possible above the water from the back all the way to the front. Previously, the rub rail up front was much higher out of the water than the rear, once we added the massive amount of weight to the front (on the side we were riding on) the short pocket lengthened out and was much more enjoyable to ride, didn't lose much height either. we ride with the wakeplate about 1/4 up and about 10.7-11.2 mph. Don't know if you have tried this or not, but another thing to try is slightly turning the boat in a half-moon shape into the side that you are riding, we have found that that helps clean the pocket up a bit. Hope that helps.
