DIY Pipe Booster for improving wake

any news on this?
I tried the pipe hook method last year and didn’t seem to get great results but it could be I need more weight. I bought the jet wash deflector and it is a little better this year but still haven’t surfed ropeless. I think I need more weight but it’s probably going to push the boat to 8k-9k rpm

I'm around 200 lbs and need 1,600 lbs min and people. 2,000 lbs better. This is with wedge too. I think around 8-8,500 rpms is about right. 800 on swim deck surfside and 800 seat surfside. Rub rail surfside needs to be under water.
