i think if you add some fat sacs, and put them in the back of the boat it would probably help

I would try posting your question on wakeboarder.com or wakeworld.com.
Lots of folks with PS 190's on those sites.

wakeskatehawaii808, first off. You need weight.
I would start by adding to v-drive sacs to the back.
Add a locker sack.
Buy pop-bags, these will fine tune the shape of the wake.

Just try taking a lot of people out and have them sit in different places on the boat. This will help you determine where you need to put the sacs. Also try different trim settings.

lol nice TAD, but yeah i had the same problem with my wake and debated getting some fat sacs to even that shizz out, but it turned out the motor was a little too high from our low water level. So yeah, play with the trim setting like Calskater23 suggested

if it has trim tabs, put them up and it peaks the wakes.

you can put trim tabs on an inboard, tabs, not motor trim, or wake plate, just like regular trim tabs, they seem to help shape the wake alot for me.
