were there any changes between 04 and 05? I know the VLX is different this year but did they change the LSV at all?

Hard tanks are under the floor and the Ballast monitoring system. No hull or major changes.

There were hard tanks in the back storage compartments in the 2004 LSV, but now (as Chris said) the hard tanks are under the floor.

Like Chris said, there aren't too many major changes although having the tanks under the floor is one major thing that got me into a Malibu.

Yep, there was a hull change in '04 (considered a major change) so the '05's have the same hull, but the aforementioned changes above also.

The '05 VLX got the new hull (V25 Wake) this year also.

so the hull on the lsv was changed too?

Nope, no hull changes. '04 was the new hull. The new ballast is really cool, though. I'd also argue how much better the new hull is. I thought the old wake was cleaner (I ride both regularly).
