Chattwake's 2021 Malibu 25 LSV

Hey everyone! I've been meaning to post up a thread on my new boat.

I was able to make a deal on my 2019 23 LSV with a neighbor of mine, which allowed me to step up into a 25 LSV.

I've had two 23 LSV's in a row, and I LOVED them, but with my kids getting bigger and them wanting to bring friends out all the time I was ready for some more room. As you can see, I went with a pretty unique color scheme. Solid gunmetal flake inside and out with a black hull and vapor blue/black interior. I went with the new 2021 cool touch vinyl and I can absolutely say it stays much cooler than what I had in my 19. I opted for the full Wetsounds stereo (2 Pair of Rev 10's), which has been awesome straight out of the box. I essentially checked every box except for the heated driver seat, power seat and a few little things here and there.

The extra room is amazing. I didn't realize how much difference two feet makes. With the plug and play bags the surf wave is epic. I'm getting older, so the factory ballast at 22.5 mph and 70 ft is perfect for me for wakeboarding. I'm really digging the wake. Both my 9 year old and 11 year old girls have gotten pretty good at surfing and are now wanting to wakeboard more. I do like how scaleable the wake and wave are on this boat as well.

After 11 seasons, I finally upgraded my batteries from the XSPower D3100's I got back in 2008. They finally died. I cannot believe the abuse those took. I went with a pair of the D2400's, which fit in the factory black boxes. I can play the radio all day long on one battery and it stays hot. XSPower is a local Tennessee company and are AWESOME to deal with.

Still using Boat Bling for my cleaning needs and I got my plug n play bags from Barefoot International. The custom bags for the 25 fit perfect.
