My 2021 was delivered to the dealer. I have seen a few pictures of it and it looks great! The 2021 changes are definitely welcome. Updated my profile picture to highlight the new speaker location in the bow.

Here’s the mistake I think most are making about the 2021 23 LSV... they’re assuming it’s just a new walk thru when really, it’s a completely new boat (patterned after the 25 LSV). Everything you’ve n

You can post them now.  Cat's out of the bag.  Post to imgur or something and share.

That profile photo looks really weird.  Like the speakers are sitting in loose cans on the seat cushions.  That can't be right...

I thought the same, that can't be what they did!

The fiberglass in the bow is now molded so the speakers are facing the cabin of the boat more. I personally like the change quite a bit. They definitely aren’t sitting loose on the cushions.

I’d love to post photos but I don’t have any way to do so.

Imgur, ImgBB, Dropbox, OneDrive etc.  Or buy a membership and posting is automagic.

Dude AWESOME looking boat. Congrats. Can’t wait to put my order in. 
 

quick question, did you go cool touch on the sepia or black on the seats? 

Thanks! My Nautique 230 has the same interior and it doesn’t get too hot, but then again I live in Maine. When I ordered I wasn’t aware cool touch was available and I never asked if it was. That being said, I would’ve been 50/50 on it depending on the cost. If I lived in the south it probably would’ve be a must. Keep us posted on your build and order. Excited for you!

Nice boat i'm sure youre pumped!... sorry to bag on your new ride, but imo the biggest mistake these boat builders make is thinking people want a speaker/tweeter aimed right at them..  that will be intolerable for anyone in the front while everyone in back will still welcome more volume.  I imagine there was a power struggle over that design and the wrong person lost.  Let us know if its a non issue, may very well be the case

Well luckily you can just turn the front zone down if that is the case.

I guess different situations. My crew always has my Wife and her friends in the bow and they always want it turned up louder. So in this case, i can see that being a welcome addition. IF its an issue all you have to do is turn the front volume down

May be a stupid question, but which model is that? It looks similar to a 25 lsv on the outside, but the interior looks more like a 23 lsv. The transom seats look different than a 25 and not the same exterior as a 23, but looks bigger than a 21. ??

Re-designed 23LSV, as stated previously in this thread
