I don't get it. I don't see why people think jumping cruiser wakes with go-fast boats looks cool.
Landing a 35+ foot boat on the transom like a jet ski makes for a TERRIBLE landing that is hard on equipment.
There is a reason why these boats are long, pointy, and come to a figurative knife edge at the bottom.
Use the whole boat to soften the landing.
THIS is how you launch a boat:

I've gotten a boat out of shape before, and I was lucky.
I just don't see why anyone would do this on purpose.

It is for sale, drive height is just right, could maybe try going up 1" but in choppy waters may have to throttle it more. Right now prop slip is less than 5% and the boat is on rails. Could've used a little more weight in the bow in those pics.
