I'm looking into getting a 2007 Malibu (VLX or Sunscape) or Sanger (v215 or v230). <BR> <BR>I really like the Sunscape, but it only has the power wedge and no ballast. Will I be able to surf only using the wedge? <BR> <BR>How is the wake only using the wedge on a Sunscape LSV 23. <BR> <BR>Thank you in advance. <BR> <BR>Kevin

Sanger v237 see other thread wakesurfing v237

Hey Kevin, <BR> <BR>The general consensus is that you will need ballast. The wedge only will not give you the wake you need. <BR>When you have the boat sacked out, the wedge helps make the wake taller. <BR> <BR>I would stay away from the Sunscape. The VLX would be a better choice. I don't know much about Sanger... but from the thread Dennis mentions, the 237 seems to be dialed.

hey kevin, As a malibu owner i have to say vlx hands down. better boat all the way around.

Honestly I've surfed both and I would say the 215 has a better surf wake then the VLX, I'm a dealer so take it for what it's worth but i just got done surfing the V215 all weekend and the surf wake is great. When we dont have a ton of people we throw about 300 pound's in the rear locker (plus stock) and then a 1,000 triangle sack in the corner of whatever side we're surfing. It also surf's both sides of the boat well. <BR> <BR>Try them both out for yourself and let us know what you think.

I surf behind both the Sanger V215 and the VLX and they are comparable. I prefer the Sanger more but then again I sack mine out a bit more too. I'm able to run mine faster and still have a big wake.
