A little mellow and wide, the wedge does give it a lip. my friend puts around 4000lbs total and its the best wake I've ridden. I know he is on this forum and he could probably help you out. His set up is 2 750's in the back and 500 in the nose.

that long kevin? i was thinking between 70 and 75. but ive never ridden behind one.
they have the wedge, the two back tanks. and the center. i found out the dont have a tank in the bow

David, line length has a lot more to do with skill level and personal preference than boat type. I would suggest riding the line length that you currently ride at, see how it feels and adjust from there.

thats a good point scott. just curious what you guys where riding at.

we have an i/o and the wake is pretty wide. so i ride at 65 feet. its pretty narrow there, but thats where our wake is the steepest. and most of the time i end up in flats.
just curious about the lsv
