I’m not a market guy , but is this a big enough problem that people would potentially short Malibu stock?  Just putting myself and small business in a similar situation. Losing that much revenue and then to be sued . If Tommy’s wins what could that potentially do to bu ??  
 

Full transparency This might be a laughable post . Again I’m clueless on markets stocks and publicly traded companies . 

Malibu should buy this inventory back to maintain market stability especially considering the fact that stagflation is here and all commodities and prices will continue to skyrocket for the foreseeable future. these units will have been built at lower cost than next models and they already made $ selling them once. They can surely sit back and wait until M&T gets desperate then buy them all at a steal.

Didn't someone once say "If you owe the bank $1m your screwed, if you owe the bank $100m the bank is screwed" haha .

it would be unfair to let the bank off the hook without major losses for their genius approval that got Tommys here in the first place..

IMO, Tommy's is fine and done, M&T's got problems but you're tax $ will bail them out if needed so their Fine, and Malibu has to figure out how bad they want to PO the other 66% of their existing dealerships which is now actually 100% of their current dealerships.
 

Seems Malibu is the one with the problem here and uncle Sam isn't bailing BU out.

They just don't make boats that sexy anymore.

Malibu's heyday, in my opinion.

Congrats!

Agree. What's the attraction of slalom towboat pickleforks and triangles? Weird!

There's options for which gauges. Call or email them.  I brought a GPS speedo and 4 in 1 multigauge kit.  This one https://skiboatpartsonline.com/TRD-Conversion-Kit-Medallion-MDC-1600-1/Medallion-Conversion-Kit-Malibu-TRD-1208-MAL-PP then brought a PerfectPass Stargazer upgrade kit direct from PerfectPass a few months later when funds allowed

So if Tommy’s goes belly up later this year, does Malibu contract out warranty and service work to competing dealers in the area? Im generally pretty DIY competent and plan to service my own boat, but if a $5k screen goes out how does that get warranty service?
