After doing the I/O thing for a year, then spending a couple years in a DD MB Sports Boss 210, my wife and I finally pulled the trigger on our dream boat last night. We are picking up a 2009 Moomba LSV 23'. We love the lay out of the boat and can't wait to get her in the garage. We are from Central Indiana so we are still a couple months away from being able to actually use it but we sure are excited. We have 1 year old son who is going to grow up on the water just like his dad did!!!!! I will load up some pictures when we get the boat home but I'm excited about what this boat has to offer. I've been a water skier my whole life and have recently taken up wake/kneeboarding at the prime age of 35! LOL My wife likes the surfing idea so we are hoping this boat will be able to offer us several years of enjoyment.

Congrats. Our story is similar. We bought our '07 LSV last year because of our 1 year old and the need for a little more room. It's working great for us. I think you'll love it.

congrats, but as you will find out....

pics or you didn't buy it :)

[kaneboats]

Yup. I'd say "congrats" but am unable to believe a word you say. :rolleyes:

Glad to see ya over here. Oh, and I know you meant XLV.

Funny, my XLV came from Indiana! Look forward to seeing it.

What's the color combo?

[gpd005]

Trayson thanks for the lead about this site!!! And your right XLV, I've had so many numbers and letters bouncing around my head for the past few weeks it isn't even funny. But it is Green/Black, it's funny because we wrapped our MB green and black and I guess the color stuck because it is following us to the new ride.
Here is our old boat and now our new one.

I'd say there is a good chance the XLV will get a custom wrap as well. One of my best friends has a design company and he rides with us all the time so I'd say he is already working on a design for it.

No problem. Our boats are damn similar. I'll look forward to more detailed pics when you actually get it home. I never put it together that you were the MB wrap guy. :-) You will adore the XLV in comparison. It's going to ride so amazing, you will be super happy for years to come. I promise. My Supra "stormtrooper" Sunsport was pretty WELL modded and dialed in for a DD, and I haven't looked back for a second now that I have the XLV. The extra room is spectacular. And the wakeboard wake with only 650 in the center basement is better than my supra ever was.

I'm doing a ballast system overhaul on mine and I already did a quick/cheap upgrade on the tower speakers by swapping the Polks over to the Kicker HLCD's. (Seriously, how can you beat swapping over to HLCD's for $200!?!?!?)

Look forward to sharing XLV stories with ya!

[danraymond]

Where and how did you get HLCDs for $200?

[trayson]

Where and how did you get HLCDs for $200?

I had stock cans with 6.5" polk db651's in them. I pulled out the polks and inserted the kicker 6500.2 drivers:

This ebay listing has them for $215. I got mine for $200. But still, it was the best bang for the buck upgrade I could have done. Are they Wetsounds or Exile? no. But they get the job done on a budget and allowed me to repurpose my factory ariel cans.

I got really good at spending money on the MB so I can only imagine this is going to be even worse but the wife like it's so it's a lot easier to spend money here than on my other habits. Heck I've already been looking at LED's, wrap designs, powder coating a few things, and ditching the carpet. It's really hard to just leave things the way they come from the factory!

[kriley]

Fantastic boat and colors!! Welcome to the Forum!

[sivs1]

Nice looking XLV. We have the LSV and love it, great for kids, just bought a wake skate so my six year old can learn to surf, was all his idea too :) A mod for those cold spring/fall mornings is heated seats, I just finished the drivers seat and I know the wife will love it come late March when we take the boat out of storage.
