Some things you just had to be around for, kind of like if someone references sperrys or taking off their shirt at a boat ramp. If you know, you know…

Congrats, that color is going to look awesome on the water!

Initial impressions on the fit and finish are great having climbed all over the boat installing my rev12s, ACR, and battery charger. There are some small scuffs on the bottom of the hull where it looks like they powerloaded it at the factory (grrr!!!). They aren't too bad and I'll have the dealer take a look at the break-in service. If I could complain about anything, it's that I'm not a big fan of the new cover ratchet system / hooks on the back. It just seems like it's going to rip sooner rather than later. 

Have similar scuffs on the hull of mine as well. Will be addressed during ceramic coating this week, but interesting that yours had them also. As for the new cover system, I actually sort of like the functionality of the hooks and single ratchet, but have similar longevity concerns (the loops on the corners seem like a real weak point).

How do you like the Rev12's? I opted for Rev10HD's, a full amp re-power, and swapping out the pathetic factory sub for a JL M7. Night and day difference on sound quality.

@shawndoggy - just wanted to say thanks... Took me most of the winter to find a stupid black box as sadly the version I had was not available anywhere ended up having to order from the dealer at 2x the price of all the out of stock places I found on line.  On the bright side hull is wet this spring and stereo is back to new again!

Skiers Pier was an independently owned Malibu dealership in Waterford, MI.

Tommys bought them out in 2018 IIRC.

But what's up with all the jokes about them?  Where they some sort of bad/unique/other?  I saw a few in passing but now with the Tommy's stuff a lot more references to them and I just don't have the history to or geographic proximity to get it and got curious.

I have the M5 with the 2277 and am at about 42mph WOT.

What’s your rpm surfing in “surf left” preset which has wedge in 3? I need to double check but think I was at 3700 with just my wife surfing and 3 year old on boat. Seemed a little high, was set at 10.8mph, but this is literally my first week captaining a surf boat so all this is new to me. 
 

eta: I also had a fun incident today where the rear fat saks would not drain. I hit go home (and drain later) and the front and middle drained and dash said rear had but it seems it was actually filling just the rears and continuously flowing out the side from overflow? Messed around for 15 minutes and could not drain anything out the rear sacs.  The only thing that fixed this was to shut the batteries off and then hit drain again and they drained properly. Will bring this up at my 10hr service later this week. Also have been getting repeated “auto bulge fault” message on the dash, but the hull is pretty dry.
