You can get that X fill system too that will let you pump it across one side to the other too. We all surf regular but my youngest daughter looks like she's gonna be goofy. Guess I'll learn some goofy too.
My Mom said I'm not allowed to get wet!

Flow for OBV ???
We've surfed an OBV with FLOW and there are certainly benefits to using it. First, you can run the boat more level/less list. I think this makes the boat much easier to drive, especially for Momma. Second, I think it lengthens the wave without knocking it down like increased speed and bow weight do.

I know my 2009 NG OBV doesn't like having both rear bags filled and riding around. The engine did strain more than I liked.
As far as momma driving, she's been dead for three years. However, my wife has no problem driving the boat.

just wanted to state that the comment about my momma and my wife driving fine was meant as a joke.
Didn't want anyone to misinterpret what I wrote and get upset.
But the NG OBV does really labor with both 750 sacks filled at the same time.
I think you may have noticed that Drew - it was when Reed Hansen was riding behind my boat.

Drew, Good to hear they have the demo out but dang you are getting me excited and not having a release date is killing me slowely inside.
Dang it Mike you are not helping. I need to find a boat I want at a price I want from a dealer I want. The first two are the most Important but not in a rush to make a decision.2008 Outback V - Sold but never forgotten.

just to play devil's advocate here, and nothing in particular meant towards anyone...
BUT.... I'm rather curious...why do you think that having the flow on a OBV will make you a better wakesurfer?
