I took out a VLX with surfgate with a few guys. We ran stock ballast with 450's on top and adjusted wedge per each rider's preference. The "high altitude" prop would be recommneded if surfing is a big part of what you do. Surfgate was a success. Not having the boat constantly leaning to one side was nice.

That is a beautiful color scheme. I checked out the pictures on your website. Is the exterior red "crystal red metallic" or "regal"? Is the interior red "regal" or "reuben"?

Thanks.

I can say I have demoed most the surf boats over the last two weeks. Tried the Enzo ,z-3, and Malibu surfgate . I must admit the surfgate was my favorite . I loved the ability to surf without listing the boat !! I just sold a 2011 super air Nautique 230 that threw a great wave but we had to sac it out to get it. My wife was always nervous every time the rollers would come from a passing boat.... So I sold my 230 in 5 days and ordered a 23 lsv and can't wait till spring!!

How was the push with the surfgate compared to the other two?
