I have the manual wake plate on mine. I have played with a couple of times, but with no luck. The centurion rep told me how to do this with 12lb sledge hammer, but I think I'm just scared to rare back and hit hard enough. I thought about changing my rear hardtanks out with bigger ballast bags so I can have a little more control over weight, or I thought about taking the fins off and offsetting the anchor holes about a 1/4" inch.
