I use the tower for tubing with my 23lsv.  In my experience the tubes have a tendency to swamp at low speeds while being pulled behind ski pylon or transom.  Adults will usually adjust their position on the tube to compensate but lots of times kids end up losing their grip when it goes down at low speed.  Also with big kids and adults, it’s more fun because they get more air and I generally feel like the angle gives me more control to swing them around as well as swing them back to the safety of the middle of the wake.

I used Black fire pro ceramic in the start of the 2022 season. Seemed like the closest product I could find to a professional grade coating, took some time to apply but it flashed nicely and wasn't overly hard. Since then it has held up amazingly well, my boat is outside from March to November, and used in hard water, so it defintlyisn't babied. The only product I have used on it in the last 2 years is Boat bling hot sauce and it still looks great, you can tell it is starting to wear down but still very noticeable that it's coated. 

My previous boat had ceramic pro professionally installed and it was good but I definitely not any better considering the hype and cost of the product. 

The Blackfire product looks interesting. Did you use the standard pro, or the Black Edition? Thanks!

I wouldn’t pull a tube from the tower. On our MXZ, we pulled our tube from the bar on the transom. 

 

I have narrowed my search down to the 2019 23LSV or the 2019 24MXZ, and I am looking for input. I would really like to be able to take my kids tubing. The LSV has a pole that comes up for attaching a rope, whereas the only place I could find on the 24MXZ was the tower. Is it okay to tube or waterski off the tower? Is there any benefit to the LSV over the MXZ? The family loved the extra space up front. 

Good looking boat. Congratulations!
