I have found that trimming up helps my wake a ton. I'm working with a 99 sea ray 190 (about 20' boat). Every setup is different but I'm working with a 5.0 v8 EFI 240 hp. I've put a 17 pitch 5 blade prop & run about 1200 of ballast + 3-5 people. I also have bolted the stingray hydrofoil - the poor mans wedge. I place 400 in the bow, 350 in the ski locker, 350 in front of the rear bench seat & another 1-200 moved around as needed. When I get up to speed, I trim the outdrive up almost as far as I can without porpoising. The hydrofoil pulls the rear end of the boat deeper into the water, which helps the wake, as long as there is weight in the front to balance it. This puts out a pretty stout wake up to maybe 23 mph & 75 ft out. Any faster & the boat sits up too high & the wake flattens.
