I used to run all marine grade stuff in my boat. I had 2 marine JL audio amps, marine sub, marine head-unit and speakers and had nothing but problems with them.

The sub I had was a Marine...

What is the biggest ballast that you can put in the rear compartment of a XLV?
The biggest I have found so far is 400 lbs on each side. How can LSV hold 700lbs each and the XLV can't
Thank
Adam

Does anybody have the 750 lbs bag in a XLV?

It doesn't seem to fit in my XLV. I am surprised the LSV has a bigger rear compartment than the XLV.

How do you feed the 3 pumps? Do you Tee off the inlet hose twice?

Does anybody know how much ballast weight came on the 2004 XLV with the Big Bertha 3 bag system?

I did a search but have not found the answer.

Thanks

Also i more thing to think about is the XLV handle rough water a little better. Less likely to take water over the bow.

Good info.

Same should apply with a XLV v-drive right?

Sound goods to me.

Thanks. That didn't include the impeller right?
Adam

Thanks for the help.

Time for me to do my yearly service and don't have to time or will power to do it myself.

What do you guys normally pay and what do you get done? Maybe oil change, trans fluid change, impeller,...

The funny thing is with my case, I run the blowers all the time when the engine is on. We were only stopped for 5 minutes with the engine/blowers off and it wouldn't run.

I have a 04 XLV with the same colors you have (if your pic is up to date). My rear sun deck (3 doors with a blue and gray strip going thru all 3) had some tears in it. I just had it replaced 2...

No I have not found a solution yet. I have not been on the water again since to test it out.

However, vapor lock seems like a Bigger possibility right now than bad pump. Why it hasn't done it...

Jacksonville.

The fuel filter cost $150? or the pump?

My is EFI not a carb. Maybe that makes a difference maybe not.

It seem like its the fuel pump, whether its going bad or just vapor lock, I don't know.

One more piece of information that...

Thanks

I'm hoping it was vapor lock, because that would mean my fuel pump is working normal for these boats.

It was a very warm day ~90, but I have had this boat for 3 years now and put about...

Yes I am in N FL. However my boat has never been in salt water for that reason. It is sometimes in brackish water, but there is hardly any salt water in it unless it doesn't rain for a long time.

thanks again.

Thanks that is a possibility however in FL where I live I don't think it got cold enough to freeze last winter.

Does it happen on EFI motors?

Thanks again for the good info.

The fuel filter I'm sure is easy to replace. How difficult is it to replace the pump. How much should each cost?

Thanks again.

What engine does your 2 XLVs have have a carb or EFI?


Adam

I meant if the fuel pump was the issue would it start fine the next morning?
