My first inboard!

[wakeboard/surf]

I recently went from an I/O with tower and ballast to a 2006 Mobius LSV. I have 750# ballast in each rear compartment and a 450# bag in the ski locker. My boat also has the wakeplate. Could anyone give me some advice on where to start with settings for wakeboarding/surfing?

Congrats! No advice will be given until you post pics of the new ride. Each pic gets you another reply and piece of advice.

Sorry, but we like pics!

Depends on how good a wakeboarder you are probably. Have you tried it with just the wake plate all the way up, giving you the max wake that way? A good idea to try it that way before adding balast. Should be a lot different already than an I/O.

Some of the more knowledgable will chime in on surfing, but on our 2011 LSV we run the ski locker full for surfing, whether regular or goofy side. For regular side (wave on the port side) I'd fill the 750 all the way and about 1/4 full on the goofy side bag (starboard bag). Adjust the wake plate from half to all the way and see how it affects the wave. For goofy side (wave on the starboard side), fill the 750 on that side all the way up, no balast on the regular side bag.

See what that looks like.

Nice Drew, thanks.

I am going to gleefully ignore protocol and offer advice. :-)

Those 750's in the rear could unbalance the boat and produce a wake that falls over when wakeboarding. Remedy: don't fill them all the way (try halfway, test the wake, then experiment with weight) OR put some people in the bow. Of course, you could also upgrade the center/bow ballast.

I have limited surfing experience (just seen it done in an XLV like my own), so I'll leave that to the experts with a comparable boat.

'bout time! Let's have 'em. As one who always follows protocol I'm saving all my great advice.

Congratulations! I just made the transition from I/O to an LSV also.
