Can anyone compare the wakes on these two? I have found a couple of deals on these but was wondering which would provide the better wake. Both have the MLS system with the wedge. Let me know your thoughts. Also, keep in mind that I will be coming from a 2001 SAN wake.

lsv wake will be bigger for sure.

Buddy of mine just bought an 04 23 XTI, it has the triple MLS, and the wedge. It had a great wake, and the seating was awesome. I would not hesitate to buy the XTI if I were in the market. Talked to some guys who wakesurf alot, they said the XTI puts out a awesome surf wake as well. Either way I think you will be happy.

we have an '03 xti and it puts out a pretty sweet wakeboard wake and a nice slalom wake over 30. we've tried surfing but its been a no go on the ropeless so far...

LSV will take a lot more weight to make the same nice wake. But it'll seat more people too.

For me, I think it would come down to things like how big my crew is, how big the boat slip is, or how big the parking is.
