Yea, I've got a friend who has the V215, it's a nice boat. I'm not so sure about skiing behind it though. They're made in California, been in business for years.

Well, I test drove the '09 outback v yesterday. Great boat, seems like it will handle bigger water, say in the columbia river, better than my '08 outback. It's quieter than mine, probably because the engine being in the back. Doesn't handle as well as mine though. Greg said that a v-drive typically won't handle as well as a direct drive. All in all, I'd say Skiers Choice hit a home run with this boat...

the wake looked good for skiing, not as good as my outback though. I don't think I would trade my boat in for an outback v. I'm thinking now a mobius ls. Anybody have an LS that can tell me about the ski wake on it?

I have the LS and I love it! It is good for everything from skiing to surfing. I am very pleased with it for skiing although it isn't the same wake as the outback it is still decent. I have been behind both and the outback is better but the ls has much more to offer in my opinion. I bought from Greg also and he was awesome to us. If your up my way I would be happy to give you a pull. I am in Poulsbo Wa so a bit far but the offer is there anyways............Bambam

local,
We were like you going to purchase on Outback V but ended up getting an LS for 3 reasons.
1. Better slalom wake and the ability to do the wakefun things too
2. Bigger boat for the same price and its a Mobius so tower and Gravity one standard.
3. Awesome z-cargo top
We love it, depending on your speed behind the boat the slalom wake is not bad, it will not be as good as an Outback but it will be better than the Outback V which we also test drove. We owned a very old MasterCraft for over 22 years and the family skis and wakeboards and now surfs, all this behind our LS. Do a search on zegm or MrsZ for skiing post. And there is something to be said of the feel and culture of a DD, I am glad we kept up this tradition! We love our LS! Now is Fay would just go away!!!!
