2004 LSV. 230 hours. Not a single problem to date. What a solid boat! Love it!

Echo all the recommendations for Babes here. I tried the vinegar and water thing. Didn't really work for me. Babes Spot Solver took them right out. Since then, I've been using Boat Brite and it...

Right around 240 hours on an '04 LSV. Got it in August of '04.

I have the bags that 04Outback referenced and they fit great. They even leave a tiny bit of room on top and in front of the bags. With that much weight in the back, you do need to balance it...

Definitely takes a lot of practice and experience. Like Dave said, I usually go at it at 45-90 deg. When I get around 5 feet away, I cut to the left which puts the driver side towards the dock. ...

I don't think it's a problem to overfill the bags and let them start squirting. Happens to me almost every time I go out. I even use it as an indicator that the bags are full. Depending upon what...

Those pump looking things are solenoids valves. Just like the ones in your sprinkler system. They allow you to fill each bag independently. They're tied to the fill switches on the dash. The pump...

I started with an '04 Premier that has 2 molded in fins and a 1.2" center fin (I think). I rode with the fins for 3 seasons. I think they did become a bit of a crutch for me. But in some ways I...

Man, I thought we were just having a miserable season here in Colorado. Wind has been absolutely insane! We've been soldiering through it tho. Work on the weak side riding skills I guess. What a...

Hmmm. I think the weight in the back still makes a difference whether or not the plate is up or down. I agree with it up, the wake should be even bigger. But when I went from the stock 250s in the...

I have the same problem with porpoising running a lot of weight in the back. I basically don't use the wakeplate at all. It's all the way down all the time. I have been trying to go lighter in the...

I have an '04 LSV which I think is the same boat. I have 2 500s in the back (19x19x42) and a LaunchPad bag that goes in the walkway (450lbs). This works pretty well. The 500s pretty much fill up...

04 Mobius LSV. I run 1400-1800 depending upon how many people are with us. I upgraded the 2 rear sacks to the 19x19x42 (I think) bags which are 500lbs each. I have a Launch Pad bag (450lbs) that...

I have an '04 LSV. I run 2 500s in the back (the 19x19x42 bags), the stock 400 in the front, and a LaunchPad 450 in the walkway. Around 1800 total. The wake is pretty sweet.

Used to ride a Hyperlite Premier 141 with Temet bindings. Finless. Board cracked and is being replaced by HL. Picked up a Liquid Force PS3 to hold me over.

Do you want to test the bag itself or the whole system? If it's just the bag, you can take it out and use standard waterbed fittings and a garden hose to fill it up. If it's the whole system, not...

Ha, that's hilarious. Backrolls in your cube. You need to set up a rope and a little tramp. That would be classic!

Re: tantrums, I have the same exact problem. I keep watching the vid and then...

I think we're in violent agreement here. Earlier in the rotation, you're looking more up. And it's that look up that initiates the rotation. I really love how they have the 4 audio tracks on "The...

I guess that's more the feeling at the start. I agree, towards the end of the trick, you will be looking more down and your chin will be close to your lead shoulder. To me, it feels like you...

I haven't landed one yet either, but I've landed on my feet quite
a few times now. I used to not complete the rotation too. What
really helped me was waiting to initiate the backroll. Ensure you...

The rangers that pulled us over saw the sticker and that's how they decided we were overloaded. They said because the boat has the sticker, they have to enforce it. That boatus link implies that...

I got hassled at Glendo Res in Wyoming a few weeks ago. We had 5 adults and 7 kids. Kids were in the 3-9 range. Heaviest -might- weigh 85 lbs. My boat is only rated for 10 people or 1350 lbs. ...

On my boat, raising the plate at all causes the boat to start porpoising. From about 1/3 up it porpoises so much that I have to put the plate back down. Otherwise the rider is constantly getting...

We ran with the 440 in the front today. Puts me at 1000 rear and around 800 front. Definitely helped even things out. I'd say my platform now sits 2-3 inches underwater. Planes out much quicker. ...

I have an '04 LSV. I've been running 2 500s in the back and the stock front (370 or so I think). That's close to a 70/30 split. Just ordered a sac to stick in the walkway (another 450 or so) to...
