yes. shaper really wakes up the hull. you can get crisp clean lippy wave with the shaper alone. add some weight (friends are great!) and you'll be in business. got the v230, same hull just a tad longer. will throw a nice wave, add a shaper and it gets better
once you learn how to stop and turn (cut throttle halfway, start turning wheel, then slowly reduce throttle to idle as you continue turning the wheel to full lock) you will not take water over the bow from your own roller. I usually have 3000 lbs in mine. we are running less weight these days. I think we had 1600 in ballast last time out. 5 friends and it was great! post a pic when you get it dialed
