    Default What have you done/upgraded on your Xlv?

    Planning on purchasing a XLV in the somewhat near future, just curious to see what all you other XLV owners have done as far as upgrades.
    My plan will be to upgrade the swim deck obviously and add more ballast if it’s not already done on whatever boat I buy.

    Well, I bought myself a brand new tow vehicle if you consider it as an upgrade. It's an upgrade in my life for sure, I just got rid of the other piece of junk I will move to France soon and I was thinking about buying a new tow vehicle since the first time I decided to buy a house on the French Riviera. My old one was causing a lot of problems but now eveything is fine.

    I’ve actually seen and read a lot of your posts, your bait is an inspiration ��
    You have any pictures of some of the cooler more custom kinds like the over engine storage and ballast upgrades?

    Engine tray. built as 2 pieces with 1/4" HDPE and some aluminum angle with some SS Screws. Not all that deep with the XLV, but enough for some ropes, the flag, the throw cushion.... And it's a great pizza warmer.



    Coleman party stacker cooler fits great. Lid is notched out on the lip of it so fit under the crossmember of that seat (the part that the braces fit into to turn it into a backrest)



    Here's a whole thread on my ballast system upgrade: https://forum.moomba.com/showthread....system-upgrade

    I forgot my home-made surf pipe.



    The downpipe has since been replaced with an aluminum one that's pressed to a narrower profile. But you get the idea.

    Pile of Wetsounds audio equipment
    1180 front, 1020 rear bags
    Full Wakemakers ballast upgrade system with BETTER wiring. I was amazed they shipped with scotch lock connectors behind the switches...
    ebay version of the mission wake shaper ($129 shipped)
    Ski Pylon delete with PVC cap & pipe
    Full carbon feel interior
    below rail custom wrap

    This winter will be full SeaDek treatment.


    I won't attempt to list the service parts I've replaced on both the boat & trailer. But hey, saved $50K off buying new so there was money to play with.
