Great looking boat!  Congrats!!

I ussally don't like orange but that is freaking amazing 

[Zac]

Love the orange on the outside and how it is non existent on the interior (I love the orange and green flake on the outside but can't get on board with it in the interior). Really nice looking boat. 

[JeffC]

Wow!   These pictures are EXACTLY why I was looking for help when I was designing mine.   Honestly, I didnt think I would like the color scheme when I saw the boat builder pictures, but the real thing looks fantastic!   Congrats!

funny you mentioning that - I was playing with the orange interior but just couldn't get used to it so eventually chose charcoal/ebony/graphite as interior colors and also dropped the orange from the upholstery.  The build pic for the vinyl was also off - the light graphite looked like having a brown hue to it but that was obviously wrong.  The interior is not as flashy as it could be but it looks nice.

One more thing for others to consider:  The steps in the back of the trailer are a must - I thought I'd be okay because I have boat on a lift during the season and hardly trailer but lift isn't in yet.  On my old trailer I could easily step on the fender and get in but either the boat is wider or the trailer narrower - it's a pain to get in from the side (or I'm getting too old?).  Regret not having ordered them now :-( ... and on that note - board racks may not be sufficient - didn't get the PTM ones and have surfboard storage in the bimini but that requires to open it up which is a pain too - so will have to check what I can do for the upper racks ...

Rather than spending money on another set of racks, I would get an over the tower cover if your boat stays on the lift.  Swing racks in, leave Bimini deployed.  @Ronnie has a great setup (and is probably tired of me tagging him for his cover constantly). 

[Ronnie]

Nope, not tired of tagging. It's an awesome cover! I kept it when I sold the '16 and now it's on the '17.

That may not really be a solution ... I usually have to lower tower to get under lift canopy but nevertheless I check Ronnie's setup - assume there is a thread out there

Wow.

I have a 21VLX on the way. Should I have my local upholstery guy add fabric panels below the rub rail. I also want a cover for my: swim deck, Speakers, racks,tower, surf gates, boat house, wife and dog. COVERS on everything!

[bbattiste247]

Sort of a dorky video, but it will give you a glimpse of my 2017 23 LSV. I just picked it up last month. It is very close to what I would have customed, but since I didn't have my boat sold until March, I took one of the showroom floor. Forgive us for tubing, but the kids enjoy it.

Time to take the big girl out. Even if it is just to fill up with fuel ?

[ah2oguy]

That is a Ram (2500 or 3500 can't tell) Mega Cab Longhorn Edition...

[spikew919]

Nope @ah2oguy it's a Ram 2500 meag cab longhorn 4wd. I have had all the top diesels and always end up back in a dodge, or ram now.  Love it.

I got to visit my new 23LSV at the end of the production line last week.  If all goes well, I'll be taking delivery by the end of the week...can't wait to get my first Malibu!
