LSV year comparison

[mikekelm]

I am looking into buying a 2017 25LSV with 100 hours.  Can anyone inform on the major differences between it and the newer models?  Also, is the 5500 GDI sufficient engine to power this boat for wakesurfing?

If I’m not mistaken they did a minor hull change for 2018 - 2020 and L shaped hard tanks in rear.

The new 2021 has walk through now

If we’re talking about the 25 LSV, then the above is not correct... 

2016 - 2018: first gen hull (3-piece construction, modeled after the 14-17 23 LSV but deeper freeboard); Ford powered motors (marinized by Indmar); 2016 had a 15” prop and 1.76:1 transmission; upgraded to 17” prop and 2:1 transmission in 2017. 

2019 - current: second gen hull (2-piece construction); GM powered motors (marinized by Malibu); first boat to get the new, multi-position rear facing bench/table; first boat to get wireless charging; Interior included fixed rear facing seat and second cooler location (behind billet door). 
 

EDIT: The 2021 25 LSV will not have a walk thru.  That’s only on the new 23 LSV.
