Does anyone know the best way to weight this boat down to get a clean long wave?
I've been surfing a tall short wave. I'm at 100% Port, 100% Center & 50% Starboard.
I think all three are 600lbs ea.
Wake plate 50-60% plus a 330lbs bag in the front port side, about 11.3 mph.
It's fun but it's easy to wash out the back.
Thanks for any help.
We run a 900 lb bag in the port locker filled 100%
100% in the front and an additional 650LB bow bag filled full
Surf at 10.5 mph
The lsvs need a lot of nose weight to make a good wake . You're better off to take a little weight out of the back and sit a few people up front to prevent the swim deck from cutting into the water if you don't have a additional bow sac
Hi there Stephen, 11.3 sounds pretty fast. We have a 2013 LSV and here's what works for us:
1100 rear surf side full
500 center full;
750 IBS full
wake plate 1/4 down
speed 10.5
Try emptying your starboard, and just have everyone sitting on the one side of the boat. With less weight, I found I had to use the wake plate more to get a better wave...
This throws off a great wake when we have a few people in the boat. If it's just my wife and 2 kids out, I'll sometimes fill up a 400 pound sac on surf side, for a bit of extra push for me (being larger)... Check out wakemakers if you're looking to upgrade your setup... :o)
same as above
1100 rear surf side full
500 center full;
750 IBS full
wake plate 1/4 down
speed 10.5
Thank you very much for all of the help, can't wait to get it right
Is there enough room in the rear locker to fill the 1100 lb right full ? we have a 900LB and it fills the locker up pretty well doesn't look like theres a whole lot of extra space. Also when we fill our IBS right full it pops the front cup holders out have you had this problem ? if so how did you fix it ?
I think im gonna try this http://www.wakemakers.com/2013-supra...r-upgrade.htmlQuote:

Does the 750lbs in the bow need to be all to the surf side??

I will let you know how it works.
I have the 1100 its tight but it fits and i can get it 100% full and i just took the front cup holders out and the bow filler cushion covers it anyway.
Hi there, 1100 pound fills, no problem in back locker... Yup, same issue with cup holders, they pop out when ibs is full. It lets me know when it's full, so the glass is half full with that problem - but just has to be sitting in one of the other 10 or so cup holders on the boat... ;) Haven't tried to fix it, as it hasn't caused any issues.Quote:

Yup, pulling the IBS forward works, but you have to do it each time. It works it's way back for some reason. Haven't tried to put anything like a noodle in front of it, but that's a great idea.Quote:

I think the 1100s fit better on newer LSVs because of the taller decks. The lockers and everything got deeper. I run 1100s and have no issues.Quote:

What kind of reinforcement does it need? I've got my 1100 coming tomorrow.
Mandley has a thread on here who reinforced his walls and did a "how to". Wake makers says no need to. Just curious as I'll be ordering mine at end of seasonQuote:

I didnt remove the carpet covered front spacer at the top on both sides of my lockers gives you a little more room. You just have to watch the edges of the top deck. I ran a sanding drum along the edges to get rid of the sharp edge. The 1/2 dividers bowed with the factory ballast. I've installed the flow havent tested it yet. I hope to not have to run quite as much weight.
Does anyone have the flow surf on the lSV's? just ordered a set after seeing how well they worked on the mondo.
I don't own a LSV, but have surfed a 2015 with the FLOW and it was a great enhancement, IMO. Let the boat ride more level, lengthened and cleaned up the wave. We weren't focused on the side-to-side switching, so really didn't pay any attention to that.
Look at this thread.Quote:

I have the FLOW on mine but I'm still trying to dial up the perfect wave. I does work better, I think the key to it is have enough bow weight. It will make the wake taller, I've been using it in the middle position. It makes it easier if there is only a driver and a rider, that's what I have found so far.
So I went out this past weekend, had 800lbs in the Bow, 600lbs in the Center and 1100lbs in the back surf side. The swim platform was under water so I let a little out of the rear and center to clean the wave up. It was a lot better but I would like a longer wave, I may not be possible with the LSV. I'm not going to give up.
throw another 350-400 on the surf-side seat and it will be better. The platform should be underwater when weighted, at rest.Quote:
