I would easily spend $10-15K more for a new leftover (if colors, options, etc. all worked for me) to have that new warranty and a dealer relationship.    I'd also be upfront with my potential dealer that if they don't have a leftover that fits me, I'd buy a 2022 and hope they would provide me great service.

Just picked up my 2023 m220. This will be my last boat with Wetsounds stereo. I will do stereo delete on all the rest of my Malibu boats. The digital tuning on these amps is hot garbage. Don’t even get me started on Malibus stupid plastic boxes. The sub rattles so bad when the bass hits my wife thought something was going to explode on the boat. 
 

I should have known nothing has gotten better with the garbage tuning and box I had in my 2020 Malibu. I know Wetsounds is good stuff, but you’d think Wetsounds wouldn’t want their name on this stuff and let it leave the factory like this. There is no way a Wetsounds tech would listen to this stereo in my $200+ boat and say yeah good to go. Send it out. 

So fricken frustrating!!!!

I will post pics of the box I took out. It had so many gaps and missing screws it was embarrassing.  The speaker mounted in the box had literally 4 screws into it and the sub is a shallow mount sub. WTF would they put in a shallow mount sub?  Makes zero sense. 

Tale as old as time… 

Funny you mention that. Local car shop I go to offered to take a look -- head guy said he's well-versed on boats. Problem is they kept putting me off; said they are swamped, will do it next week, etc. I'm already missing out on days on the lake so Malibu will have to do. Plus, I'm not sure it's the carb. I was hoping fuel filter change would help but no dice. I look at today's modern boat and can't help but think that when mine pulls up to the shop, guys are excited to take a break from working on electronic screens and power wedges. I'll report back any findings. 

 Everybody needs to relax…

There will be new Malibu dealers in EVERY affected market by July 1st and many well before that. 

Sit tight and just watch the show. Surely you can survive without a dealer for 50 days.

We have a deposit in with Tommy's on a new build. Manager said the bank now owns our boat under receivership. We would like our deposit back and buy a used boat elsewhere. What are the chances of getting that deposit back?
