We have a 04 LSV and really like it. There are several newer bigger wake boats in our cove but all the kids want to ride behind ours. We have 2200lbs.ballast and a ghetto gate we don't list it much. With the rear bags half full the wakeboard wake is nice! It has been a great boat the only problem we have had was a bad TPS. I have been in many other wake boats and they all have things I like a lot but with 2 kids in college our boat suits us just fine. Flame Suit applied!
