350 with 2315 in our lsv 104 hrs

900's in the rear, although probably get 800 or so in them, and i started running a bow bag(sumo 650) a few months back and love it

we run 5-6 , dont run sacked out wakeboarding but it does fine.

Don't discount the lifting wedge. I have a buddy whose 2014 22MXZ struggles when slammed with the 350. My LSV 23 with the 350 and the wedge 2 has no problems and it is all because of the lift.

I think with 5-6 and 750s, even at 500 feet you're going to struggle some. Either less weight or more engine

We average about 6 people this year, All stock tanks full, 600Lb Bow Bag and about 800Lb on both sides, For surfing 10.9 to 11.6 MPH and then drain just a bit in the rear for wake boarding...And that's when the magic happens, Power wedge II makes all the difference, We plane quickly, and the boat has plenty of power, we are right around 200 Ft above sea level,

Zero issues here as well, 350 in 2014 LSV and I weigh about 290 with no problems. Just had guys weekend out.... 8 grown men, Yeti cooler backed with beverages, we rode all day long and never had a problem.

In all reality, it's about how you weight your boat. Why can some people get on plane and others not? You can run the same ballast set as other, but size of crew make a difference. Are there 8 or 9 people in the boat? are they all in the cabin or do you put some in the bow? Wedge position. Amount of gear, full tank of gas, etc. If I put 8 in my boat, I don't fill the 750s all the way because more people is adding ballast. weight is weight and it all adds up. Your wake will change from the start of the day with a full gas tank and the end of the day with an empty tank. So while we all have suggestions, and use different set ups, it's about being smart with how you distribute your weight. While we can give you a good starting point, you would still have to know what works best for your situation.

Pulled the trigger today. If I can figure out how to post a picture I would do it !

Upload your photos to a site such as photobucket, then paste the IMG link here in a thread, it will show your picture

Congrats on the new ride and welcome to the family!

Dude, ill say this again. We have our 2012 (with a 350) maxxed on hard tanks, wedge slammed and (2) 750s, (1) 500 and (1) 400 bow with an average of 6-8 people (some kids) and we have no issues at 3300 ft. elevation. Our prop is still a 1235

I am running the 350 at Smith Lake on a 15 LSV and ran 750 pnp and a 400 in bow with no issues last weekend. I also have the high torque prop and see no issues or need for a larger engine. Good luck. Beautiful boat! Who is your dealer? Rambo???

This is likely the use and setup for us, minus the nose sac and lead. The boat does have a bow tank. I'm talking to the dealer about changing the prop, but may use it next summer and change the prop next Fall if the 1235 is not getting it done. Thanks for the comments-

Yep, Rambo is the dealer. I still have the high altitude prop (1235), and they are telling me that's all I need. I'll try it out next summer and change if I think I need to. I've got a couple 800# sacks from my MC and with throw one of those in the bow. I buried the bow of the Mastercraft a couple of times, so bow weight makes me a little nervous. Looking forward to spring already.
