Plan on using it for wakeboarding and surfing almost exclusively, but it seems like the wake is pretty unaffected with the diamond hull at wake speeds or lower.  I just have no experience with the diamond hull

What motor in each boat?  What elevation?

I have a '15 LSV w/ diamond hull and honestly I don't know how much difference it really makes at surfing and wakeboarding speeds.  I don't notice any but I am nowhere near a wake or wave expert.  Maybe that's why I don't notice a difference :whistle:

With the size of crew you plan on taking out I would go with the LSV.

I've seen a few VLX's (2016) listed around $80k now..........I'd keep shopping!  =)

 

Where are all these cheap boats. I have searched all over the nation for three straight days and theose are the best deals I have found by far. Anyone have suggestions

I bought my LSV new for less than the one you have mentioned.  Do you need a boat now?  Wait 90 days, and prices will be much more negotiable.

The cheapest lsv in the nation that I have found is $92,000 2016 brand new,hardly any options with a 410 and a g3.2 tower

Does anyone have the diamond hull or have ridden on a diamond hull?  We strictly wakeboard and surf but the diamond hill boat is much cheaper than all others out there

Are you quoting $92k for list price?  Not sure how you know what the prices are on boats until you really sit down and start negotiating.

First, I had a 13 lsv with a diamond hull and now have a 16 with a wake hull, I can honestly say I can't tell a difference. If you are willing to travel Stateamind has a 15 lsv wake hull with all the options G4 tower etc, that would be something to look at. It's got the 410 motor in it.

Where and how much

Shipyard in WI has a new 2015 VLX they offered to sell me in the high 70's. Might be worth a look. It's been sitting because of the mismatched interior accents.
