Ian,

You didn't happen to set up a surf wave, did you?

I currently own a pickle boat and have ridden in an X-25. I previously owned an XLV as well. I can say this about the two pickle boats I've been in when it comes to riding in chop and/or white cap conditions...they are drier inside and ride smoother than my big o' XLV was with the traditional bow. The width of the pickle bow and I believe a deeper V in the centerline help IMO. I guess that's good for those who need to or don't mind braving 20-30+ winds in open water. This past year I didn't think twice about going out ine 35+mph winds open water in my pickle boat to get to the glass around the cliffs.

funny thing is my buddies A20 when the water has faint 2 inch ripples feels like you are driving down a gravel road, you can feel every single ripple in your feet hitting the hull. my lsv is alot smoother through the ripples, never been in the a2o in rough water though considering rough water is virtually non existent where we ride

Nope, I don't really surf. I rode behind as part of a local charity Polar Bear Ski event. A kid from the dealer said the surf wave was retarded though, which I believe since the boat is huge, and they know I wouldn't buy a wake boat (dd ski all the way!)

the surf wave was retarded though

Meaning "BOMB - TOTALLY WICKED - AMAZING" or is it "LAME - YAWNER - BUST" ?

Carpet does dampen some of that...we have the tatami snap out mat which is not like snap out carpet so no dampening or vibration absorption. I still like the tatami mat, only one of my boat owner friends can't stand snapout anything.

I rode behind an MXZ last week with stock ballast and no wedge and the wake was monstrous. Absolutely punted me without any effort.

Heard that wake is very good. Qualities of the VLX in that it's rampy and easy to set up and consistent on both sides

I was at the malibu dealer the other day and the mxz bow is huge!

Gotta say this, I'd rather have a Bayliner and never surf again then have the Tomcat-its just fugly

Mojo be my #1 choice
X2 be my #2 choice

they are ugly but if you ever ride in one what you get for your dollar is unmatched. the interiors are very cleanly done, hard to really explain but they do a great job making an affordable boat that is niccccccceeeeeee. just have to get over the fugly front and tower
