I usually just used the plate to clean-up the wake if it is washing out. I typically ride with the plate about 3/4 up, but adjust it accordingly to cleanup to weight depending on how the boat is weighted that day. Usually just have the stock ballast, but really liked it with an additional 600 lbs on the rear seat(only once though). With the 22SSV I usually ride a shorter line at 65' and 21/22 mph. I am still trying to figure out the weighting. A little fatbrick works well to fix the wake if the boat if off balance, great little investment.
