I have a 2010 Glastron SSV 175 and trying to maximize the wake for wakeboarding.
Not much room for fatsacks or ballast, so I am hoping somebody knows of a "wedge" setup or something that would improve wake output.
I am not looking for a miracle cause I know the V haul wasn't made for wake and it's a small boat...

I don't know if they make a wedge for an i/o but maybe someone else does. I would put a lower pitch prop on (four blade), put the maximum amount of people it can hold (within reason figuring for equipment, fuel, etc) and go from there.

Trimming up a little can also give a little more size to the wake.

Try the mobile ballast bags, you can put them on the front seats or in the feet passage, before I got myself ballast tanks, I filled as many 7 gallon canisters as my boat would take and hid them under seats etc ...
