haven't seen 130's, more like mid 140's for a decently optioned left over.

Dont know about the new models, but my 07 VTX on Diamond hull skis almost as well as my '97 Echelon. I can easily ski the course behind it, altho it does take a more skilled driver in the course than a direct drive.
It's the Diamond Cut hull

You have the suggestions here. Smaller diameter, higher pitch prop. Less weight, especially at the stern. Maybe try 50 lbs up in the bow. Bump the speed. Shorten the line. If none of that works, find an older crossover, or do as many others here have done over the years and have a dedicated ski tractor.
If your wife is THAT serious, you should consider the latter point anyways. Zero Off in a VTX doesn't have the same feel as Zero Off will in a tournament direct drive.
