@daylorb - That's a beautiful looking boat!  Hopefully you can get the hull wet soon (I'm months away from seeing the water here again)

Got a Xmas even trip in - little chilly but fun.  Still only 9hrs on it so didn't push it hard but one noticeable difference from my '13 LSV is torque.  It feels like it has quite a bit more of a hole shot.  Even wife gave a holy s@#t at one point.  Boat pulls severely to the left at 30mph+ though.  Need to deal with that.  When I say severe I mean if you let go of the wheel it spins almost instantly.

I think there was a thread on here a month or so ago that somehow the boat had the wrong rudder installed. It was on a 23 LSV but when they swapped rudders it fixed the issue.

Appreciate all the fast responses last week, got the boat today.  Super-stoked.  Traded my 13 23LSV s/surfgate.  First impressions are awesome - love the more simplistic dash and controls.  More similar to my old Enzo.  I just was never an LCD-screen guy.  The amount of space in the 23 was awesome.  Since I was first on one in 2004 I always thought it was the best designed interior boat.   The A24 is even bigger - it is nuts.  Super-spacious, excited about the space!

It came with 650 rears plugged in, no front ballast.  I promptly ordered the 650 from wake makers tonight.  Will decide if the 650's in back are enough.  I only had 500's in my LSV and I swear they worked better than having 750's in the back.  If need be will get bigger.  Any other tips for mods, let me know.  Will be searching the forum as well.  Seems like they thought of everything except a spare tire cover.

I have 550's in my 24 MXZ and there are plenty, in fact I need to drain them a bit unless I have some additional bow weight.

Looks awesome!  I have the same colors on my A24, just a different scheme.  My suggestions for addons would be to add the Doomed insert for the A in Axis (https://www.domednumbers.com/online-store/Domed-Insert-A-Decals-for-2015-18-Axis-Factory-Decals-p83096998).  Go ahead and get your color matching registration stickers while you are there.  Also, I would get two kinetic valves so you don't have to "burp" the rear bags (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07C3RHV4H/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1).  That should get you started :)

Very cool - had not seen those - ordering.   I have ordered numbers from them before and will do so.  Thanks for the rec on the valve - I think I have them already, but going to check.

I just looked up those valves ( do u have a photo of yours installed? The reviews seem like they are used for pools?  I have a 16 t22 and am curious if these valves will work for me as well ?) my bags are 900’s if that matters 

 

such a a pain when the boat is loaded with people to burp the bags!
