27LSV

[The Hulk]

R&D would be about zilch if they just stretch the mid section, a mold heck that's nothing for a few boat sales, 

The awesome thing would be is this would be a big boat but not obnoxiously big like the p series.. 

[The Hulk]

27 is just not all that big , look at the day boat cruising crowd chappys/formulas etc. 26-28 is kinda the norm, wake boats aren't the best on larger bodies but get up to a 27 and now u can start to smooth out some chop,

Lot of day boats also have ton of wasted space and can only fit a small group comfortably,

27 wake boat could cross both worlds

IMO, a 27ft wake(surf) boat needs to weigh more. Ditch the half ton and get a diesel HD. Think 7500 or more(8500). Peeps that buy the big boats usually say..well guess I need a HD truck...then get one.I have a diff brand boat, and I constantly bug my dealer about them building one 2-4' longer, I tell them, they only have to build one. All of our trailers are over 9 ft wide at the guide poles ..anybody ever been hassled about being overwidth at the guide poles?  A 9' beam would make the boat seem twice as big as it is.

Only 9ft? Try closer to 10

Oh don't forget those PTM racks most folks don't swing inward

Agree 9 beam would be huge increase, look what 6in less floor space did to the new 25, totally killed the openess vibe

Totally agree..funny about the PTM racks.

Having a wider surf boat wouldn’t bother me one bit. Half of the fishing boats up here are at least 114” beam or wider and nobody really cares.

Hey Malibu.. dare you to make the 27lsv 9wide!

Why don't you coordinate sending a 2021 27 LSV deposit check along with @IXFE in a couple weeks? He'll track down some folks, and I know he'll hold the check close for you.

Ha no chance they might mess up and make it even more narrow than the current 25

Now a P25 deposit might pay for a whole 27lsv!

27 lsv needs a 6 door! 

[ahopkins22LSV]

Ok that’s enough, back on topic and don’t take shots at each other. 

[tn_rider]

BUMP

[hethj7]

If a 27LSV came out all TMC would do is complain how ridiculous the MSRP is.  

[The Hulk]

I'd put a down payment! I'm guessing it would be less than a P25 with a better wave! 

[23LSVOwner]

I don't see a 27 coming out.

Closest you're really getting currently would be an X26 but that'd need so much lead/extra bags

The 2015-2019 X26 definitely needed a ton of extra weight.

The new 2020+ is a whole different animal, and they finally put decent ballast in that boat.

6900lbs dry before options. Typical optioned weight is 7400 plus 4800 ballast/water, and 600lbs of fuel. It’s about 13k running around with full fuel and gear.

I know that quite well, I was with the first two all the way through the factory haha

Definitely throws a barrel,  would be great with extra bags/lead. 

Plus I thought the side walkthrough would be weird/annoying but being in the boat in person, definitely liked it.

@The Hulk approved??

No fuss with ballast. Plenty of room. Dual fridges, grill, 3 TVs, power bimini, cockpit misting system, air conditioning, two beds, and the list goes on!

Listed or gates at this point?

Has small trim tabs stock. Used those and offset engine power. Worked great. Run the surf side engine at 300 rpms higher than the non surf side. Poof, clean wave on either side.

That is an insane wave. No low camera angle tricks necessary. Size wise that's bigger than I've ever seen from any single screw inboard. Boat looks amazing!
