I have been boatless for the last 3 years, I had a 2006 LSV and looking to get back on water. My dealer has a LSV13 that he will make a deal on or should I get the Mondo14? Our family does everything from boarding, sky skiing, surfing. what do you guys think?

get the biggest boat you can get. I'd pick lsv over the mondo if you can afford the garage space..

stats are the same as far as weight and capacity. And LSV is only 1ft longer. Plus I would get Flow on the Mondo.

If you like the leftover I would get it and have the Flow added once it comes out. Does your dealer still have a build slot for the Mondo, if not it might be a long wait.

my experience with surfing has been get the longest widest boat you can. capacity is not a spec worth talking about and weight might be the same, but the lsv should have longer seat bases to hide more weight. flow has been talked about coming for the lsv in the short term.

based on your statements, it sounds like you already have yourself talked into the mondo. in that case, go for it. both are great boats...

The Flow will be available for the LSV pretty soon I think.

He has some Mondos in stock and just the one 2013 LSV. I am not talked into the Mondo yet just like the color better and like the shape also a year newer, But I had no complaints about my LSV, I had either. I agree the extra length should help surf wave but I am not a die hard. this will be a family boat so I need vesatility at a flip of a switch with out having to add etra ballast. Plus I get tired after about 10 min LOL. Before yesterday I was looking at used Malibus, But no one has taken care of the boats so that led me back to new stuff.

Yes it is set to be released for LSV but then I do not think it would be free like the deal on the Mondo currently.

Glad to see you back Roachman. Why not make them let you go out and try each of them? You'll be sure to fall in love with one of them. If it's a toss up for you, let the wife pick.

Yeah he offered a demo, so I will definetely take him up on it. Its crazy how much things have changed so I am excited- New ballast pumps vs the crappy ones I had on the 06. Heavier boats to take on the chop. Surf enhancer, I am loving everything excepted the increased price...haha

I had the choice between three leftover 2013 LSV's and ordering a new LSV. I personally liked the few changes they made for the 2014, so I went that route.

My main reason for not picking one of the three leftover 2013's was that they all had the smaller OZ tower and not the OZ HD tower. The other changes are minor except for the swim platform brackets, which I think are greatly needed also.

Well after countless hours of debates and spreadsheets, lol, I decided to go another direction. I picked up a Demo 2013 Malibu LSV with surfgate-29hrs. It was too good of a deal to pass up. I am saddened to leave the Moomba family but glad to get back out on the water with you guys.
