Curious if VLX came with what I think is called Dash  Closeout Panel that covers all the wires, steering, etc under the dash. Helping summarize my buddy’s 18 A22 and noticed he had this panel and looked and my 21VLX didn’t have the same. Got me thinking because never really noticed it before but did the 18’ VLX have this and what’s a part #. Possibly mine was never put back after service last season.
 

Closest I can find is on Great Lakes skipper a panel for 2018 24 LSV #5441174 but not sure that one fits. 

This should have come with the boat.  I have it on mine.  Your panel probably just came up missing at some point.  The one at Great Lakes might be the one you need.  Not sure if there is a big difference or not in the size of the helm from boat to boat.
Try https://www.bakesonline.com/ or https://www.malibuparts.com/

Start researching what they're listed for in your area.   That's way too general of a question and options, colors, hours, etc all play into it.

troubleshooting and fixing your own boat  is a skill more owners should have as it can limit downtime during the months you want to use it.

This!   Should you have to if under warranty?  No, but warranty doesn't mean fix your boat ASAP.    It's a process and takes time.   If I can do it myself and it gets me on the water, I'll bite the bullet and do it.    Same applies to cars too.

what is a fair price for a 2019 malibu LSV 23 in great condition, need some guidelines
