Not to worry - Bakes has the best selection of parts/accessories for your Malibu.

I'm sure the 'Crew won't have any problems helping you spend your money there...

[Hanahawaiian]

Unless you have some sort of towing protector for the boat mud terrain tires pepper the boat with rocks. Been there done that and I'll never go back. If you have a towing protector/guard/shield for the boat it won't matter.

oh yeah.. but im not gonna Lift.. just 2 inch lift. and use 285/70/16 tires on it. and i think it should be fine. or im leave stock height..

I really like Muds tires i heard they are awesome on towing and funs at offroad n muddy

Check out the back of my truck in this picture. It's called a TowTector. There are other products as well that do the same thing.

[mcbean7]

Just curious how the mud tires do on a wet ramp. Those that have them, are you guys slipping and sliding or does it grip just fine?

[Malibudude]

I don't have mud specific tires rather A/T Revos that do just fine and still running strong 60k later.

I have those exact wheels on my dodge. My dodge is grey instead of silver. You have great taste and a sharp truck. What kind of tires are those. I have a set of Nitto's on mine and have been very happy with them.

my Buddy tow with his tundra with Open Country Mud by Toyo tires.. they say never slip on ramp.. it grip very good..

[wakeboy]

Just out of curiosity you said you have a Chevy 1500 in blue, but the picture of your truck is a Silver Dodge Ram. Also, it seemed like you were getting a 2007 VLX, it looks like a 2009 VLX in the picture to me.

Am I missing something?

[k_b_stephens]

That pic is of 06VLX's boat and rig.....

[wakeboy]

Hahaha so yes I am missing something. I was wondering why he was considering a used boat when it looked like he had purchased a boat and truck all on the same day.

[Hanahawaiian]

I just saw on Saturday, http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/boa/1583184270.html

i met owner.. he is young guy maybe 30s. and he is cool. but price is high for Blue book is about 38k and i offer him 40k snice boat have alot scratches and few Chrome rusted, Interior faded, and trailer rust some spots.. but boat look good.. but i would say 6 out of 10...

and what you think of

http://www.boattrader.com/listing/2005-MALIBU-230-Sunscape-LSV-96113176

it have everything.., MLS ballast, Perfect pass, Wedge manual... etc.. but what diffrent between Wakesetter...

Also my 2 buddies work at Lynnwood complex motoplex.. they say will give me discount...

I just Email Matt @ Bakes for help and look for VLX 04-08 good price and something it wont break my Budget.

Or i guess i have go Supra Launch SSV or Sunsport with exactly like Launch package... for cheaper

Depending on what you plan on doing with this boat I would not recommend the 340hp Monsoon in a 23' boat. I have it in my 21' vride and it does fine but couldn't imagine it performing well in something 2' longer and 1000lbs heavier. I would look for a Hammerhead, and make sure the owner had no previous issues with the motor.

That One sold about 2 months ago. lol Already called on it. I love our 04 Wakesetter, for what we paid! If you got the money to upgrade to the Power Wedge and digital dash. I would go for an 06 or newer!

And the 340hp Monsoon has PLENTY of poop pushing the 23 LSV. I was very impressed with how it came out of the hole with empty tanks and fully loaded tanks with the wedge down. Don't see why you would need the hammerhead but. Personal Preference I guess.

It's an 09 23 LSV get it right .

Anyways Bakes has an offsite 2006 VLX freakin loaded, one of the nicest VLX's I've ever seen for sale. It's got every single option you can think of, literally. It's all black with some white on it, so it will be some work to keep it up but it's worth it. Only 47 hours on this boat.
