Should have this thing in Atlanta by next Thursday



2010 Möbius XLV GG w/ right at 300 hours

My very first boat and I can't wait to start upgrading and learning to surf it

Welcome to the XLV club! If you don't already, make sure you have the 1100 rear bags and the 1180 front bag. It's a great boat.

Trayson, what prop do you run? My buddy has the 14.25 x 14 on his XLV. Looking for something with more low end.

Acme 537 13.5 X 16 if you can believe it. It's honestly been all the prop I want and need. It has been fine pulling around 3500 pounds of ballast surfing at 10mph with a suck gate. The only time it's an issue is when we take off without the rudder straight and it takes a while for the wave to form. But we never have any trouble getting up to speed. But if I do a faster, straight surf takeoff, the wave forms plenty quick. For wakeboarding, I'll most often only ride with the front 1180 bag full. occasionally I'll fill the rear bags halfway. But again, it doesn't seem to have any trouble getting up to speed. And I also slalom at about 30mph, so the prop handles that well. I still get that great balance with top end and fuel economy not suffering.

Lots of people will say more low end than I have, but I've been happy with how my boat performs and don't feel the need to compromise the top end or fuel economy.

Already on the list Trayson, I've been stalking your post for a week or so now. You seem to have the XLV figured out. Bags and a some sort of wake shaped are first on the list. Does Wakemakers carry the 1180 bag?

That's crazy. Smaller 13" diameter with a 16" pitch? Sounds like a prop for an offshore race boat.

congrats on a great boat, you will love it. Since this is your first boat i would take some time up on the lake getting to know her and how everything works before you load it up full of people and then realize there is a lot to know. Enjoy.

Amen. Nothing worse than taking a new boat out and not knowing what the heck you're doing. Ski boats are fickle animals and they take time to get the hang of.

Planning on it. An old friend had an old direct drive outback that I drove a good bit. I'm looking forward to learning the nuances of this v drive as far as the backing up and handling. Been reading all the help threads on here and the owners manual while I'm waiting on her to get here.


Of all the forums I've been on, team talk, Malibu crew, and even the Supra forum, you guys are by far the most welcoming and most helpful.
