XLV Keel Hump

[trayson]

So, does anyone know the story on the hump in front of the tracking fins on the keel of the XLV? I've never really seen anything like this on another wake boat (not that I've looked that intently).

Just curious if anyone knows why and what it accomplishes.

Better tracking?

They call it a drop keel. I think it helps with handling chop.

What they said.

Get it deep into the water with bow ballast!

Yet another reason why the XLV is a whole lotta awesome!
