  2. 1st or 2nd gen toyota sequoia would be my recommendation. Those 4.7 and 5.7 motors are bulletproof and the frames are stout. I have a 2001 with 404k miles on it and use it to pull my 22ft travel trailer all over the PNW and can use it to move my 23lsv around town or for short distances if I need to. There’s a ton of high mileage stock mall cruising sequoias and land cruisers available that could easily get the job done for you. I don’t think you should put a really high value on low mileage because you’re going to miss out on some great options. Good luck!
  3. I'm late to the party. But my 2010 WK grand with Hemi pulls JUST fine. I don't tow far, to and from the launch 2-4x a year and to fuel it when needed. I know the 2010 LSV is back there, but it's totally fine.
  4. Today
  5. Yup, it works! Hallelujah, and thanks again to JustGary!! As proof, pertinent to an earlier question, here's one of me with a ball being rounded:
  6. I sprayed it down with water last night, and I think it will be fine. I wouldn't want to make it abrasive - 99% of the time people sit on that area and pivot to the swim platform - Or simply step over the stern from the rear seat . People do however step on the sides of my boat when boarding from the dock, or maybe jumping into the water - That gelcoat is 100 X's more slick than this piece of wood.

    LSV22 2019 new Sound System

    The revos are on sale for a great price currently! And they’re a great speaker. A lot of people have also liked Rockford, JL, hertz, etc!
  8. If you do one more coat of varnish and sprinkle a little silica sand on it - might get even more grip than the vinyl
  9. That looks awesome! Very nice work. And my dad had the same trolling motor mount on our 1998 Moomba Outback. We didn’t do much trolling but did fish for bass and I caught some big fish on that boat lol. The layout actually made it very nice for fishing.
  10. WOW. I haven't yet tried it, but I'm hooked. I try to support anything I've found useful, and this site is my salvation as a Malibu newbie. So: I'm a crew chief, or whatever the top end is for the label, now. I hope to figure out the mechanism for stuff on my computer, but even if I fail, y'all are my heroes. Thanks!

    Fueling at the dock?

    This is exactly what I would do. Use a truck tank, back truck down the boat launch and fill it up that way. Handling that much weight in the form of multiple 5-15+ gallon tanks or single portable 50+ gallon tanks all summer is a recipe for an accident to happen. I would do everything I could to avoid that risk including investing in a home tank.

    LSV22 2019 new Sound System

    I just want to push the cabin speakers. Looking for 6 good 8" speakers. Maybe the standard Wet Sounds Revo, or maybe a JBL Stage Marine. Today I only have some UE Bluetooth interconnected speakers on the boat, so anything like that will be way better.

    Adding 2 More Tower Speakers

    That pod has had the same 2.5" bolt spread since the manufacture released their first tower pod in 2008. The only difference would be an angled spacer or OEM pod used by Malibu.

  18. That amp is a SOLID performer, so if you aint happy with it, i'd want to revisit the tunning. Have you run this past your equipment dealer?

    Adding 2 More Tower Speakers

    Bumping this. I may have found a second pair of Icon8s but they are off of a G4 tower. I have a G3. Are these compatible with each other? Anything needed to mount G4 Icon8s on G3 tower?
  21. I'm currently leaning very hard toward a MT2 Monster, with their over-the-top bimini. Orders of magnitude less expensive than the nearest thing I could find and approaches the Titan Towers that Malibu used to build after Scott sold the company. I've had a conversation with Scott at titanwake.com, the successor to Titan Towers, which sold that business to Malibu, and showed the company how to make them, leading Malibu to providing an option of having one of their towers built at the same time as the boat (or presumably, as well, as an aftermarket purchase). Also presumably, after the Malibu sale/new owners (who apparently chose not to make them any more), titanwake made about a dozen a week (compared to when Titan was the maker, before Malibu, of about a dozen a day) of aftermarket versions of the Titan towers. Unfortunately for me, they made their last one a couple of weeks ago, as Scott prepared to go in for heart bypass surgery. To make one at this point, as he's moved his accessories business to a much smaller location, would be VERY expensive. Despite my opinion that his elegant design is far superior to the current batch of post-boat-construction towers, it's entirely possible that the cost of a one-off would be off the table for a 22 year old, $15K boat. I've also had emails with Robert Cummings of Malibu; no surviving parts for a Titan Tower in house. As to the earlier question starting this thread, it appears our dock is suited to the purpose, with the closest center part to the water being 10'-5", and 9' from dock surface to the peak - but like the rest of any picture I've wanted to include in a post, I'm clueless (yes, in general, but in particular, if there IS a means to add photos from anything other than some URL that doesn't laugh at me when I try to use it as I did just now...). But, that aside, things are moving along nicely. About all that will remain will be a properly fitting cover, once the tower's mounted (and presumably remaining up, given the overhead clearance), and getting something to pull it to the fuel stop and back to the ramp...
  22. Yeah both my 2014 and 2015 props have required heat. I don’t crank the puller down very hard because it’s usually pretty violent when it lets go. I just put the puller on extra snug and then start heating with map gas. Usually in 2 minutes or so it pops free captured by the loosened prop nut. Never noticed any damage to the hardware. I use the dead blow mallet pretty sparingly. I know conventional wisdom is that the bearings/vdrive can handle it but I’d rather just go straight to the heat and save them the abuse if I can. Never felt right to beat on my boat with a hammer 😂.

    Wake restrictions bill introduced in Michigan

    If they try to kill all towed water sports, I'm going to be taking a page out of the ol 2A handbook with little bit of non-compliance.
  24. A little, about as slippery as wet vinyl or the swim platform. The lighting makes it look a lot shinier than it actually is.
  25. I have a 15 and it flashes the logo on both screens for a few seconds and then goes black for around 20 seconds then both come on and the 9” displays my passcode screen if it’s enabled. There has been a time or two that I have mimicked what you were seeing by simply not waiting long enough for the boot up to finish, and second guessing if the power button was pushed then cycling that. I have even pushed the start button instead of the power button and waited like 2 minutes wondering why I was dead in the water 😂. That said if you find yourself in that second guessing loop it’s a good idea to fully cycle (turn button to off and power switch to off for 10+ seconds) the power switch and start from scratch. You will want to do that power cycle to clear engine codes/alarms as well. Simply using the button will not suffice on its own.
