Hey all,
Just got the pics of my boat at Skier's Choice. It should be arriving in Seattle March 25th for the finishing touches. I am looking into additional options for this beauty. I have already ordered the wake plate, tower, racks, heater, shower, stereo upgrade, tower speakers, amp and sub, perfect pass, extra battery, I don't know if I forgot anything. First time boat owner, super psyched to get my hands on her. The guys at the plant in Tennessee are great! Thanks for the early pics for an impatient owner. Jay (Skiers Choice), YOU ROCK!!!
Here's my Baby

Rick, congrats! It's too cool seeing your boat in the factory, eh? I have factory shots of my new VLX as well, too cool.

Anyway, looks great!

I have heard from several people that the Moomba XLV has about as good a wake as you can get with stock balast. I would definetley look into buying one if I were in the market. Nice color scheme to have fun

Thanks for all the feedback. I checked your profiles and the rides posted are sweet!
Hey Poser, you have the Calabria huh, that was one of the other boats I put a down payment on when at the boat show. How sweet is it? Moomba was the only dealer willing to get us on the lake the following day for a test run......that sold us the boat along with the wake and awesome handling and storage.

Rick,

If you ever decide to hit Lake Sammamish or have any questions about upgrades shoot me an e-mail.

Nice boat! I had an 04 Moomba XLV with the upgraded GG ballast and it definitely is worth it. With the boat full of people you can't fill the bag bags completely (too much weight) but when it was just me and a couple others, I ran with the bags full. It definitely kicks the wake to another level.

I "upgraded" to the 05 24 Supra SSV for this year mainly because I wanted a higher fit an finish. The XLV gave me plenty of fun last year (120 hours worth) without any major problems during the season.

Kevin,
We will be arriving Friday around 2:00 and staying through Saturday. Looking forward to hooking up. Will you be able to get away for the test run Friday? The booze cruise sounds good. Make sure the guys take their time and do a nice job on the installs and we will bring them some Bud Light. We are staying in Seattle for the night Friday.
