Advice/suggestions requested re. adjusting ship wakes

I've been messing around adjusting ship wake times, as I like seeing them last much longer and extend much further than they currently do. Editing the actual ShipWake in the .val file is easy, but the results are, well, a bit unexpected, so I suspect there are other factors that are in play.

For instance, I've adjusted the VIIB's TotalWakeTime from 30 to 300, and get a beautifully long, and long-lasting wake . . .except that it takes over 2 minutes to gradually creep from the bow to the stern before suddenly generating like normal.

I've experimented with adjusting MaxWakeQuads in conjunction with TotalWakeTime, but still experience the same, odd wake generation.

Anyone have any ideas/suggestions?
