Any word on mounting this to XLV?
NO is the only word I think you're going to hear. Sorry.
Still hoping that word is not NO for us OBV owners...
2013 Outback V
2003 SeaRay 182 -- gone but not forgotten...
From what I know, the word for OBV owners is "later."

So on the topic of surfing we surfed the LSV this weekend and the wave had a TON of push. More than I remember it having. We have the stock 400 in the ski locker full, stock 400 on the starboard side full, IBS full, a 400 on the seats behind the drive and a 400 in the floor behind the drive plus 2 people sitting on the surf side. I was able to ride pretty far back and just hang out there, never been able to ride 6+ ft (maybe father) off the platform before

You've got to come with us and see what 1100s in the rear and a couple of 350s on the seats is like, plus the center and IBS.
Well hopefully next year we can get the reversible system and some 750s (I don't care to have to reinforce the rear lockers) in the back! But yeah one day the stars and schedules will all
align and we will be able to check that out!

I don't think you have to reinforce to run a 750. That's what I run. Now the 1100 is a different story.
I haven't reinforced the 1100s yet and I just crossed 300 hours. A little warping, but not much.
I never had any issues. Just a little bowing but not bad.Quote:

I am doing that now and have a great wake to surf, I need to better understand if this is worth the money and if the surf wake will be the same weighted evenly with the Flow as it is without the flow and weighted all on one side.Quote:

I have no issue dropping $1200.00 on this thing if I can evenly weight out the boat, but I would be very upset if I bought it and the wake wasn't as good as listing the boat to one side. I know this is the Moomba forum and I may be in the wrong forum asking for a honest answer on this but I figured this is where all the surf junkies hang so why not try to get the real story.
BTW I love the boat and love the brand, just want to avoid my perception changing after dropping 1200 on something that wasnt really worth it.
Well said, kinda what I was thinking as well. $1200 is decent cash that go to some other mod if it's not going to change things. When I first saw this I thought that would be cool to get, but am in the same boat as you, will it really make a difference?
To clear it up, Langston doesn't have the Flow. I don't think anyone on the forum has the Flow on the LSV.
I can speak to it on the Mojo but we have threads for that.
I'm waiting for someone else to buy it and see if it's worth it. From what I've heard from the mondo thread it doesn't sound worth it.

I might have misunderstood his post then, why would he comment in the thread about how his wake has more push from further back if he didn't put it on yet. Just in case anyone from Moomba is reading this, I live really close to Atlanta Marine and would be willing to be an advocate for this device if you hook me up :) I would love to try it but I just done know if it works and no one else seems to know either.Quote:

I ve upgraded the ballast on my boat and have a decent wave with a good amount of push but I would love the ability to evenly weight the boat for better handling. But I want to see it on a boat and hear how it does now as I am a little skeptical from some guys mojo and mondo feedback.
I am going to be the first I guess - I am going to Atlanta Marine tomorrow to see when it can get put on! It will be worth it to me not to have to carry another three Ballast bags and have them all over the boat. I have finally got the wave dialed in - guess I can go through another learning process!! I will let you know...
Yea IDK and Dave isn't much of a Surf guy.Quote:

Does it work great with Factory bags? Not on the Mojo.
The LSV if you have the 650s then I think it might really help.
Will you need an IBS? Yes I think so.
Goofy wave is another animal, on the MOJO if I ran both sides weighted evenly like they say, Goofy won't clean up. If I run 1/2 weight on Reg with my Goofy side then Yes it will clean up.
Claudia prefers we run full ballast like we did last year and weight only Goofy side, we still deploy the Flow and it helps the wave.
From my LSV and Goofy it takes apx 400 more pounds under the seat behind the driver to really bring that wave to a good length, will the Flow do that? Hard to say on the LSV because no one can confirm or deny.
What I will go on a stretch to say is the FLOW will work a ton better with the LSV and lower weights, or close to factory baggage, with an IBS of course. This is because the boat required less weight then my Mojo to get comparable waves.
If I had my LSV right now, I would be in line to get the FLOW.
Thats really good feedback thanks Mike. I am running the 1100's in the back now and I just switch form one side to the other depending on the rider preference. I always have the IBS full and the locker full no matter what I'm doing, the boat needs a ton of weight in the nose well a half ton I guess to be accurate.Quote:

chadjitsu1 - we need to meet up one day on Lanier! I am extremely happy with the wave I get currently but I am tired of moving sacks around the boat. From what Drew told me I will get a longer cleaner wave with out the hassle I have now.
Has anyone used the Flow yet? I have an 07 LSV with the gravity III system and haven't swapped out any bags yet. I was planning on adding alot of weight to the boat for better surfing. I know with this system I will still have to add weight but will i have to add as much and is it worth the $1200 bucks or will i be better off spending that on bags?

Just had the "Flow" installed on my 08 LSV. Be aware that the older swim platform will not fit once you have the flow installed. I had to push it out about an inch to get it on the boat, even after doing this the Flow is not able to be place in the "Stored" position.
Testing out the flow, no pictures yet, and ended up getting squirrelly water off the platform. It appears to lengthen the wave, but will need to surf it to know for sure. Had ~700 at the bow, and ~600 in each rear bag.
Currently have a new swim platform on order, so add the cost of a new swim platform to the cost of the flow if you are installing on an older LSV.

You can make a platform, I just got my sheet of HDPE 1x24x48...$144 with shipping..Quote:

Can you please post a pic from inside the rear locker showing what the hardware looks like on the inside if there is any? Thanks.Quote:

Anybody hear if the Flow is available for the OBV yet?
Here is the pic from in the rear locker.
Only has two nuts that are exposed.

The handle can be removed, and would be able to fold up. Looked at doing this, but did not find a suitable replacement yet.
Thanks for the pic. How is the FLOW working out?Quote:

Take a look at the LSV Flow. They added another spring pin on the bottom and more holes in the plate. Looks like more than just 3 settings now. I had heard that it really changes the wave when it is spun all the way around to the bottom. More of a bottom effect than a side effect.
