The 23 is still significantly cheaper so its still a size and budget decision.  

The difference between the 23 and 25 in base MSRP is $17k. In real world $'s its more like $13k.

But you have to keep in mind that in addition to a much bigger boat, 17" prop, 2:1 tranny, etc, you're also getting a motor upgrade to the 450. That's $8k MSRP alone!  If you factor that out (ie assume the 23 has a 450 also) the difference is really only $9K MSRP or $7K in real world $'s. 

So I guess it just depends on how you define "significantly cheaper"

holy crap.  That reminds me of the one time I saw my last boat.  Thing was full of Cheetos and foot prints all over the solid white seats.

You know what, if my daughter loves being on the boat all the time and those messes happen, then awesome. I won't care. She's on the boat with us and we are having a great time.

Alternately teach them that when it is snack time you sit and eat - then take away the crackers when it is play time.  Otherwise your house, car and boat will look like that.  Or just live with the mess - dealers choice.

Well of course but it's going to happen sooner or later. Kids are kids.

Part of me says we need a family boat and I do love surfing but I'm not giving up skiing just yet. Plus I literally can't store a 25 at my house. Or afford it

You need to surf it. Who demos and doesn't get in the water? 

For the record, it wasn't really a demo when I was in the 25.  It was a charity event I am part of, and I didn't expect to get in the water, and my dealer knew I am somewhat in the market, so they told me to take it out at the end of the day.

Oh one more thing, I surf a 2014 LSV all the time. Setup very similar to Stevo's and the 25 is without question better.

I am wondering if anyone has heard any rumors or updates on the 2019 25 LSV we are considering upgrading our 2016 but without any significant changes in 2018 we are hoping that the 2019 is the update year.  We are hoping for infloor cooler vs under seat, walk thru rear, bag levels gauges.  the new GoPro integration on the Nautique looks really nice!  We are possibly considering looking at a G25 as they seemed to have leapfrogged Malibu this year!

Leapfrogged Malibu with a 17% market share ..don't think so .. surf them both and see the difference .. 25Lsv is perfect for both surf and wakeboarding .

2019s will have Malibu engines and it's getting close to new command center time plus I heard they have some suprices for the market in 2019/2020 ..

Not my head... mine is executing textbook arm flapping technique in the other pic.

i didn't check with the rider before posting so in the interest of being a Bro I blacked it out

I thought you had "Walk Like an Egyptian" blasting on the stereo.

 

Seems like I am always doing something like that in pics.

For future snacks I'd like to suggest you bring some of those big Costco muffins. And maybe some fried chicken. With some cherry koolaid to wash it down.....

Well at least the sunscreen stayed in the bottles

To be fair, I've never priced one new .. so thanks for the breakdown.  I was looking at resale and there seems to be larger gap, but again .. haven't compared apples to apples.

I agree with that statement, but I also am not comparing apples to apples.  There is a 2016 for sale that I have been in contact with.  And I am looking more like a $30,000 difference.  But that boat has more options than mine does.  Even with similar options, I think it would still be $20,000.  For comparison sake, what would be the delta between a 2014 23LSV and a 2016 23LSV?

Why are you so uptight?  Seriously, the caps are ON the sunscreen and you only allow water?  You probably even got some crumbs IN the trash can too curmudgeon!

My dog would love a 25 LSV!!
