Opinions on new purchase???

[aapwayneo2001]

I'm currently in the market for a V drive, we are selling our 08 Outback DD and at first I was looking at OBV but now I'm leaning more to the LSV... I don't wan't to spend over $35K but... gravity III is a must along with cruise or PP either one, and I don't want over 250 hrs or older then 06 and NO green or yellow we usually will have 5-8 people with us so floor room is a big need. Am I way off on my wants VS my budget?

Also any pros and cons on the two models

Thanks

I agree, sounds pretty reasonable on wants vs budget.

I looked at this one, I know 280 isn't bad at all but just more hrs then I'm looking for. As far as OBV VS LSV any huge advantage from one to the other? We just started wakeboarding in May and love it but also tried surfing on a friends mastercraft and liked it as well...so now looking for a V drive

Honestly this is one of the Best deals your going to find. Most low hour LSV 06 and up are Mid 30s already.
Unless you dont care for the color i would reconsider this one.

The color is good and seems to be in really good shape... Going to the boat show this weekend and try to sale my outback there...I will take another look at this one and go from there

So...lsv over obv?

250 hours '06. I know they exist but that's 35 hours a year. I feel sorry for people who spend that much money for 35 hours a year. Rant over, good luck on a new ride.

You have the room for storage of a 21.5 vs a 20.5 then yea i would select the LSV. Its a bigger boat, deeper seats, and more storage.

Both boats so all the waters sports well with OB being better in the ski catagory and the LSV being better in the wakeboard catagory. Both surf very simular but the LSV has a bit more freeboard.

Since one of your concerns is wanting enough room for all your friends then the LSV would be my first choice. Thats why we purchased an LSV over the OB.

OBV is a beautiful boat but I have never seen adults sitting up front in the NG (new generation) one. I'd take the room of the LSV any day. Slightly better surf wake too if you get her weighted right.
