I added an IBS to my LSV this week and tried it out today. It works great. The lake was crazy rough, but I could tell for sure it lengthened the wave for surfing. I'm looking forward to trying it on the calm river this week with the wakeboard and surfing.
I have the reversible pumps so I tied the IBS into the vent line from the center bag and replaced the 3/4 drain with 1 inch hose. I also added check valves all around. System filled and drained great. Thanks for the advice Mike and Drew.
awesome deal Ron! Glad to hear it worked well.
That double check valve system is key! Glad you like it.
Sweet man awesome,
Be careful running the IBS with no rear weight, the nose dives down a lot, but for wake boarding most of my riders prefer ski locker and IBS only and wake plate 100%.
Wave cleans up real nice at 21
So no weight in the back? Just the center and IBS?

I'll give that a shot Mike.

I'm a fan of full front and no or half full in rear lockers. Gives the wake some beef.
Same here on my Outback V.Quote:

In my 02 I am running locker full and a 750 bag sitting right on top of it. Wakeplate 100% looking to add more weight this year though. Probably going to do some lead in the front and some rear weight.
I would like to see this wake.......Quote:

Did you add 2 check valves? Both sides of the vent Y?Quote:

It is a really hard pop that sometimes kicks me into a funky position.
I have ridden behind the Super Air 230 and G23 and they have a much more mellow wake even thought its way bigger. I am thinking this is just a characteristic of the hull design.
I think you have too much weight on the back of the boat. LSV like more weight in the front to get a good transition. Maybe try to put fat sac over the ski locker.......not too much on the backQuote:

you are correct, this is due to hull design. you can add bow weight to mellow it out to an extent but you wont ever get it real mellow, try keeping the wake plate 100% down, that should help a littleQuote:

I was thinking about adding some lead or something up front under the seats just in front of the sub, and the same place on the other side. Is there anyone that has lead or some form of permanent weight in the front of the boat. I know the negatives on that, I am thinking about adding another 300-400 that would be like having 2 more adults in the front.
I still want the wake big just not so abrupt at the top.

My setup is very similar to what Drew did in this post:

Mines a little different, but Drew took lots of pictures and made nice drawings. I just put it in.
Filling the center and the IBS worked great today.. Thanks for the info..

This isnt my boat but my buddys 04 wakesetter. They alllllllll sack their boat out like this. Every single sac YOU CAN SEE is a 750. Theres 600s in each ski locker and ibs under mah butt. You do the math! This picture really doesnt do it justice but the prop wash is seriously 8 feet tall.Quote:
