I agree with Phospher 100% no offense to anyone on the boards, but I have seen on our lake and many lakes that I visit that big boats are used to compensate for little talent. I've seen guys at cable parks to better flips than anyone on our lake with a V Drive, and unfortunately that includes friends of mine with big Supra's. I believe the Outback is one heck of a boat and we love ours. But I also love the LSV and the Supra SSV's. I would never begin to tell anyone you can get a great ski wake behind a V Drive, but then how many people really ski at a level that it really matters.
Buy the boat that will make you happy. The 08 Outback V was smallish like the Outback, just it was a V (low freeboard). Who ever said this boat was there last? I sure didn't, I like the idea of someday getting another new boat, just like this one replaced the one before that I bought new.
I'm starting to not make sense, so I'll stop.
Doesn't matter which, just get a boat and take your family to the lake

Bingo!
Bottom line; drive it and decide what feels the best for you. Like I said, there is a differance and chances are you will form an opinion as to what works best for you once behind the wheel.
For me, I would have a hard time giving up the incredible handling of my DD Outback, even with the added advantage of having the additional room. But then, cruising around with a boat load of people isn't my thing.

DD 0r V drive?
i was in your spot last year-- DD or V drive-- my brother has a DD outback and i didn't like the motor in the middle at all. i too have a family that needs to do a bit of everything. i went the V drive route and actually went up to the LSV and it really paid off i think. Now there is a wake difference between the 2 boats but for me i need room, wanted it quite, and also like the higher sides of the lsv for safety sake. I ski fairly aggressivly and my kids wakeboard, ski and tube and the boat has worked out great. Can't imagine getting 8 in the DD outback?
