    • All the above is sound advice.  My only thought is you’re likely in the realm of hours where you might consider replacing some of the less expensive accessories like bilge and ballast pumps, maybe pnp bags if they are getting worn out, trailer bunk and axle repairs things of this type of nature.  Not super expensive but stuff I would feel better about replacing in a 1000 hour boat.  I wouldn’t get too hung up on upholstery because at that discounted price you will find that there’s good options available to renew the interior for a reasonable price.  Fwiw my general rule for most modern wake boats is that they are usually designed to make it to 2000 hours pretty easily when well maintained.  I sold my 2014 with 950 hours and it ran flawlessly and didn’t have the best maintenance record before I bought it in 2017.  It’s still on the water now, after being fully totaled in a marina fire in 2020

      That is exactly what mine was doing all day! I checked all over the screen and didn't see any delamination but I am going to run out and check when I get home from the office. Seems like I'm going to be shelling out for a new screen in the near future. 😔

      At least you have mtcscreens.com!  I wish it was available when I needed one.  $1700 is a lot more palatable than $4000.  That said I was super happy with the boat after I replaced the screen, even paying that much!  I just wrote it off as an extra seasons worth of gas and moved on.

    • Got a quote on a left over 23 from Tommys - it was either 28% or 30% - depending on if there was a dealer prep charge or not & how you want to look at it. I see they definitely all play games w/ the MRSP & trailer.  Looks like some are also adding in dealer prep fees & freight & the shipping cover.   I have a quote from another dealer, that is still an active dealer & they were 23% off, but they quoted an additional $10K Malibu Promo rebate (Spring for Summer) which got it down to 28% off.   Based on Sixers post was hoping they would be more than 28% on closeouts.  

    • That's going to take a lot of fab work.  The RFX-MR5BB is 6.5x4" and is flat (noting behind it but a cable).  The PMX5Can is a din sized (i.e. same as a car stereo) unit that has a 7+" mounting depth.

      If I were you I'd look at a different black box setup like the Wetsounds MC1 or a smaller form factor HU like the JL MediaMaster 105.

    • Hard to tell, but seems like a lot of hours for a not too old boat.  I believe the boats have a 5 year factory warranty, would you benefit from any remaining time on that (I suppose it depends on when they put it in service).  My two Malibus have been relatively trouble free but not perfect.  I'd look to make sure all the electronics are functioning as intended as well.  The touch screens can get pretty expensive to repair.
