This. The first gen LSV 25 came with a head too, but they’re unicorns because they were really low production.

That's funny. I put the lsv 25 first. I was looking at them before this boat. A good clean one is hard to find. But most will have a 8.1 in it. They are big roomy and heavy. I was also looking at the x30 Mastercraft I think it was. It had a forward facing pass seat my wife said that it had to have.

Thats funny, both the X30 and 23LSV were the ones we were thinking.

I have a preference for Mastercraft, but I know Malibu makes a great boat.

They are both great boats. We seem to think alike alot in boats. Lol
23lsv is very popular well rounded but and prob has the best resale.
Finding a good clean one is hard because most keep them on a lift and sometimes not covered.

The gen 2 25lsv doesn’t have a head FYI, that was only available on the ones build like 96-2000 or something.
