I have done a ton of research on buying a new boat if those are your options I would get the Moomba LSV. If you want to spend just a little bit more then the Centurion Avalanche would be your best bet.

There is nothing wrong with the Falcon or the Elite V, they are amazing boats but the LSV out-performs them for all watersports.

I have surfed the:

 

Enzo 240 - talked enough about that, the BEST

 

Malibu 247 - Nice Wake - take a lot of weight about twice the amount as the Enzo give or take, wake is clean short and turns out quick with the wedge down, same but, longer with the wedge up, wake is mushy compared to the Enzo

Malibu 23lsv - Nice Wake - same as above less weight needed than the 247

Malibu VLX - Nice Wake - same as above less weight needed than the 23

 

Tige RZ2 - Nice Wake - doesn't take a lot of weight, similar to the Malibu wake

Tige RZ4 - OK Wake/least favorite - takes a ton of weight, similar to the Malibu wake

Hey WakeDoc, just curious where you would rank the SV230's surf wake in among those other boats.

That extra weight on the platform really makes the wake tall and steep close to the boat. My Supra was the same way, an extra bag of weight or a 200# guy sitting on the back corner seemd to make a big difference.

Does anyone know how the ballast was set up in this enzo? It looks like some lead weight on the rear of the boat.

Every 20 hours seems pretty extreme. The standard for dino oil is 50 hours which is what my 2002 Supra has in its maintenance guide. I would bet that Mercruiser has done plenty of testing on oil and change intervals otherwise they would not recommend it and warranty the engine.

Oil change intervals are more about contaminants in the oil than the oil breaking down and synthetic oil takes a long time to break down. Airlines use full synthetic in their engines and the oil never gets changed. I am just wondering what synthetics are being used.

I was just reading the Mercruiser manual (330hp Scorpion) and they recommend a synthetic blend oil with change intervals at 100 hours. What oil and change intervals do you use?

Did the 230 come with room for a center sac as well? It might be nice to plumb something in there.

I am having a dealer install a heater in my SV230 and I was wondering where you have your pull out vents. I am thinking of having one for the driver and two for the passengers. Can you post up some pictures of yours please.

I have heard you can but, it will burn the gel coat over time. Why not just have it cut down to a 13.5?

Good idea. I found a local company that will cut it down and rebalance it for me.

Has anyone tried fitting a 14" prop to their enzo? I spoke with Bill at Acme and he seems to think the 1433 prop I run on my Supra will work on an enzo. You need only 0.5" clearance to the from the prop to the hull.

Do you guys find that when you move up a few props (537-1579 or similar) that there is more wash on the surf wave? With the upgraded prop the rpm's are higher and throwing more water up the wake. Does this extra holeshot power not get the boat on plane sooner which works against what we want for surfing?

Next time you are with your boat could you take a few pictures of this rack setup and pm them to me please.

I was looking at the Dbot add on but your setup looks good and I would like to duplicate it.

Does anyone have more than one rack per side on their evolution tower? Can you post up some pics please.

Thanks,

John

I think it would be around 2". I have this rack to store it in.

I have a Thresher and love it. If you weigh more than 170# you might have to work it pretty hard to stay in the wave, I am about 162# and have no problems with it. It will heel dent up pretty quick but from what I have read it is not a big deal.

Not the same tower. This tower is on the 2005 Enzo. I am just wondering if you can get speakers on that curved bar so a 6' person can still walk under the middle portion of the tower.

To anyone who has this tower, can you post up some pictures of your speaker setup please. Also, Do you have to duck to walk under your setup?

I have been looking at purchasing an SV230 Enzo to be used mostly for wakesurfing and I noticed that the 2005 boat dry weight is 3500# and an 09 is listed at 4400#. What makes the newer boats weigh so much more? I assume the extra 900# would make a big difference in the wake size as the draft of the 09 beat is 2" more than an 05.

I have an Acme 1433 prop on the boat so the engine did not struggle at all. We run at 11mph.

Any videos on an SV230 with just an enzo sac?

This is my Supra SSV with 2500# of ballast, two ladies in the boat and a 200# guy on the rear corner. I would like as big or larger wake without having someone sit at the rear of the boat or the two extra fat sacs on the seats. If the SV230 with an enzo sac (and maybe a bow sac) is not a better wake I probably will not upgrade.

I am considering purchasing a 230 Enzo to be used mostly as a wakesurf boat as well. If the boat is fitted with an enzo sac and bow ballast sac only would the wave be close to a competition surf wave or would you need a bunch of people in the boat as well?

what this then rethink your requirement of an fae.

I am considering upgrading my Supra to an Enzo SV230 with the main use of the boat being wakesurfing. The boat I am looking at has the 5 ballast system and a switchblade. The questions I have are:

can the swithblade be removed? If so, how do you plug the holes? I want to add an FAE to protect us from the CO emissions.

We only ride on the port side so I would replace the two hard tanks with an Enzo sac. Are there seperate in and out pumps for each hard tank? So the enzo sac would have two fill pumps and two empty pumps for quicker fill/empty times?

Does the bow sac have it's own pumps?

When surfing without the SB do you fill the ballast on the starboard side as well as the enzo sac and bow sac?

Can a hot/cold shower be added to these boats without too much hassle? Does Centurion sell the kit?

Here is my current wake, will an Enzo set up without the SB be better?

Thanks for your input and any other pertinent information would be great.
