thanks all...

I have center ballast -- the wedge, dual batteries, Bolster seat, and the Illusion twr.

I am going to add PP next season.

I did not get a trailer with it -- I did not need one. The dealer will rent me a trailer for $25 whenever I need it - and will pull my boat out for service without a charge.

They will also provide one for storage in the winter.

Tmac1, i'm surprised you didn't get the rear ballast......a definate must! And the perfect pass worth every penny. flip up bolster seat is a great call, we got it on our boat and i'm so glad we did. THe seat never goes down. A very underrated option.

I had a hard enough time convincing the wife that we needed this boat instead of the I/O . If I had my way I would have ordered a VLX Laughing
As it was -- Malibu offering the V-ride allowed us to get into a very nice boat. And then , as you start adding options at some point -- the price starts to creep up....

I really like this boat -- 8 hours so far on it. The wake is really nice -- I'll post some pics...I want to spend all my free time on it

dont worry about not having the rear tanks, just put bigger sacs on each side, but if your going to use the wedge make sure u get some weight in the nose of the boat

Sweet ride. We just picked up a Vride about a week ago but haven't had the chance to break it in yet because the dealer had to make some minor fix-ups. Can't wait to get it back. Can't seem to get out and ride with the old boat when I know this one is sitting and waiting to pull.

Anyways, nice boat. didn't know that tower was an option on this boat. That pop up seat is sweet in that boat, as is the swivel action.
