dpickett sounds like we have a very similar timeline with our Tiges! Hope you're having fun out there.
My boat is weighted almost identically. My biggest improvements came from 2 changes:
-backing off the TAPS to around 5 or 6
-Getting the wakeshaper lower on the boat into the stepdown. That's a bummer it's slipping off, that's where you want it. Maybe try messing with the suction cups while it's on the lift and you can see it easier?
The wave height will go down but it pushes the sweet spot a bit further back from the swim platform and you get a lot more real estate to surf with. We seem to surf best around 11 mph. Our perfect pass is broken so our speed varies some too but it's not a deal breaker. We've been using a speedometer app on a cell phone to monitor the speed and make small adjustments on the throttle.
I'm after more push now. I think I can get this by maxing out the bags and/or maybe introducing some list. Although most of the time I've got at least 1 or 2 lefties on board and it’s a pain to adjust the ballast with the throw over pump. I do get a bit nervous to really slam it out because the boat seems to struggle to get up to speed when fully weighted, wondering if I should look at a new prop?
I'm working on a YouTube video that shows my surf setup, I'll leave a link here when it's complete.
