Yeah, I was pretty pissed when my salesman told me this last Wednesday as I was picking up my new LSV.
Looking forward to installing this. Any idea how much it will cost to do the install yourself? $1,200 seems like a lot of money for a couple of metal plates.
The question remains if it's better to go with the flow system or load up on the ballast?

Great, I've been reading everyone's thoughts thus far, ready to pull the trigger one way or another.

I think it depends on what you want. For ease of setup and change over from wakeboard, goofy surf, and regular surf you won't beat the flow. If you are looking for the slammed traditional wave you can't beat the traditional sacking of the boat.
They both have their place and purpose.
I do think the flow will enhance resale value.
That is alittle steep on the price 1199.00. Built a mondo on the site and 890 was retail on flow before the dealer discount.
I figured it would be more for the LSV since it has a larger aluminum mounting block.
This was one of the reasons I upgraded to the 06 hull but from the reviews it doesn't sound like it's worth it..
I'm going with big ballast instead... :)
My salesman ordered mine last Wednesday.
It def depends on what your after.. monster wave or convenience. I am going to play around to see what produces a better wave for me...

how much different is the hull on my 05 lsv vs the 06?
I just want the convience.
I was about to post the Info about this but looked like Dan couldn't wait to tell everyone lol.
Price is at AWS, so don't be surprised if like everything else we have seen, different dealers charge different amounts.
I haven't heard or seen an official video from Skiers Choice on the LSV Flow so no one can really say how well it works on this boat. I would expect it works the same as it does on the Mojo and Mondo.
For me I will have to wait till May 17th and go demo it at AWS Demo Days.
As for installation is should be a simple 2 hour labor job at the dealer, and I expect SC to only warranty your hull if you let the dealer install it. Remember 08 and up all Moomba hulls have a limited lifetime warranty. I am not sure if pre 08 does so I wont speak on that.
Weather isn't permitting us to get out and do more testing yet. Unfortunately I won't be able to test and dial in an LSV unless someone local that owns one get the Flow and asks me to help.
Speaking with the Mojo Flow though, I have to run less weight then I do but we all know I run tons of weight, literally.
Iam not concerned with the ease of swapping sides,all my people surf on the same side.So if the flow isn't going to give me something more, I will just stay with sacking it out.Just trying to decide on dropping the money on more ballast or the flow, which I will still need to invest in the IBS bag any suggestions

Are you surfing Reg or Goofy?
We have to switch because the Mrs is goofy and I'm reg so its imperative that both waves are great.
If your rolling Reg surf your money < AT THIS POINT> will be best invested in ballast bags.
Get yourself the SUMO 900s. I had these in the LSV and they fill as much as the Fly High 1100's plus have true 1 inch connections. Are easier to fold then Flyhigh for winter storage.
Get the IBS, no matter if you go Sac or Flow you need the IBS.
If your surfing Reg I would lean towards Ballast the boat. Even with the testing we have done the Flow didn't show as much change on the reg as it did the Goofy. If your Goofy I would have to lean towards the Flow.
At this point though my advise on the Flow is subjective at best, I don't have my flow working the way I want it to yet and I haven't seen an LSV with it.
I could make some sweet surf waves with my LSV and Ballast though.
I just can't pull the trigger until I see it in person. Hopefully demo days they will have an LSV there with the Flow.
We are regular surf all the way

Has anyone tried the kit wake makers is selling to plumb the IBS into the front tank

i wish i could try this on my outback haha..i really wanna try and surf a good wave
The IBS was pretty easy to add, and better to do it now while it's not 103 degrees like it was when I did mine.
Get that IBS in Jason! Pretty easy and makes a big difference.
Dammit Jason don't make me do it when I come to Texas. I will not have you wasting fuel on an OK wave VS a great wave.
my opinion is that you should also ride it. looking at a wave does not indicate how much push it has or what it really rides like.
I have heard over and over that the 'bu/axis surfgate doesn't make a great wave, just a good wave as you can't sack the boat out, however it switches from side to side quickly. feels like flow is in the same category.
if I was ordering a new boat, i'd probably tick the box to get it installed as if you don't really like the wave, you don't have to use it. retrofit would be a different story. I'd have to see how good the wake really becomes before spending the cash on it.
I agree, I need to surf it. I don't typically run a lot of weight. I don't like bags exposed. I have an 1100 surfside, 750 goofy side, 400 factory mid, and I have the old factory 400's under the bow. Occasionally I'll throw 400 on the floor but I don't like crawling over bags. I think the Flow might work well with my limited weight.
This was the thread I followed.
