What I find interesting is when you go to find a dealer on the Malibu website and type in our zip code, we get No Results.    

Same here.

thanks for the replies guys,, im sure hoping thats all it is, im going to pull the starter today and check it out.

on the batteries, i havent thought about that,but havent had any issues, ill put them on charge today as well to check out.

2003-2006 of Response LXI were good models for barefooting. Friend has that same color scheme in a 2006. I take it out from time to time. Works very well. Trailer axle issue though. Common on all trailers with torsion axels.

Thank you @Brandonloos21 for making my amp plugs for my 2023 M220!  Went together seamlessly and the stereo rips!!

Glad the install went well, it looks great! Thanks for the shoutout as well. To polish it up, get ahold of wetsounds and they can send you new amp logos to orient upright!

Not so much "the market" as the players who keep things moving even if when don't have to.   With money not being free, they don't have to.  Wake boats are going to appeal to a much smaller percentage of boaters than pontoons, runabouts, cabin cruisers, etc....hence like The Hulk keeps saying, they are hurting the most.   But it'll come back in time, it always does.  

My point is, there used to be years with no changes whatsoever. No new models, perhaps a change from rotary switches to backlit toggles, maybe a new gel color, etc. and people were still upgrading and entering the market.  I remember when the original MLS system came out, which was all a wake setter had for ballast, which was a 500# fat sac in the ski locker.  I remember when the sun kicker came out, which was only a Sunsetter LX with a tower and MLS.  My point being, inexplicable new entrants to wakeboats have come out of the woodwork for decades, and eventually that will resume.
