our dealer is slammed through MDW, they recommended using through up to and even through 20 hours (I'm at 11) and touch base to get oil change first week in june, how much risk is there to that? as a new boat owner, I don't want to come in and make waves at the dealer, i also don't want to adversely damage the boat and have long term issues. They said use it normally and have fun

Get it in writing. 

Awhile back I got a code about my fuel pump or 02 sensor being bad I got some of the cleaner u get in a bottle to rid any plugs that might be there the code went away. I recently bought a fuel pump vacuum tester, do I even need to check it if the codes went away? I haven’t had problems wit it bogging down since I used the fuel additive.

Not trying to be rude here but I have a couple questions.  
how long have you been surfing?  I’ve seen people complain that they have no push and the reality is, they just don’t know how to surf. How much do you weigh? What board are you riding? I’ve taught many people to surf and a ton can’t stay on the wave until they get their feet in the right position on the board. 
how deep is the lake you’re trying to make a wave on? Shallow water greatly affects the wave.

I put 4'x4' pieces of plywood under the legs on my hoist to keep it from settling when I put it in each year.  It's super helpful in the fall when taking the boat out of the water, too.  Makes it much easier. 

That’s a good idea. In my case it’s a canal that drops water level to like 24” in winter and I plan to leave the lift in year round. My only concern is the hydraulic hoses under the water so will put a small bubblier in, but the canal rarely freezes given the current, especially lately! 
 

alternatively, if I raise my legs 100% up (got a 60” farm jack that is awesome for this), it might even get the hydraulics out of the water where they drop it, but not sure on that
