Surfing with OBV vs. LSV
Hi - I'm interested in an OBV given the size of my lake and it would fit in my garage. Can you tell me whether it would be worth it to just step up and get the LSV? I'm headed in the used direction and believe the LSV hull is the same '06-'12, while the OBV had a change in '09 that made it a better surf boat.
Thanks!

I think your best option is the Mondo.

I hear you on the Mondo, but a new boat is not in my future (plus I have others that want to ski.)
Can an '06-'08 OBV make a surf wave that competes with the LSV or does the '09+ OBV still not compete?
Thx!

I personally have not had the chance to surf an OBV. I plan to this summer though. I did own an LSV.
If you can budget an LSV and have the space to store it then Go For It. Its a larger boat, not just the length, its deeper and has more room inside.
OBV is a solid performer and is truly a Do All Boat. Lots of people on here Surf the OB and say its a great boat. Is it the best at Surfing? No but compared to the LSV its much better at water skiing. The LSV can be skied behind but its a rougher wave then the OBV.Malo <--- Means--Evil or Mean One. This explains a lot.

Unless you are really worried about skiing, forget the OBV. You seem to want to surf. Find an LSV and sack it out. You won't regret it.
