The warranty expired earlier this month unfortunately and I kind of want to avoid the usual dealer inquisition as to “why do I think I need a new “X”, it could be something more significant, so it’s best to let us check it out” during the start of the season and @ $150 an hour, pass! Realistically I will probably have to call them, but that is my last resort.

I hear you there. Don't miss that at all. My new dealer made a house call for me this week. Loving the new dealer experience here!

I love this site because it’s got so many individuals with very solid knowledge base

And much easier to navigate and find info than Facebook groups.

I realize I’m hijacking this thread, but what’s the tint percentage on that glass on your boat @dalt1?

Not hijacked, My underwater lights are so bright I had to tint windshield to 10% for night time use.

So I'm having the same issue on my big screen 2023 23lsv might be voltage but did you ever find anything else out?

Focus on the options you can’t add (or very hard/expensive) when shopping for boats. Like the flip down platform and wakeview seat. Those are probably the two hardest (beside motor). Speakers, lights, cleats, racks, etc can all be added or swapped for relatively the same price as if it were ordered with it and very easy add ons. Sometimes better options than factory.

Id take a look at Tommy’s inventory. They’re making deals on any Malibu in stock as they lost their dealer agreement so territory isn’t an issue for them anymore. Should have plenty of 23 LSV’s, 2023-2024 available throughout the country.

shipping can be anywhere from $1-2.50/m. You usually get what you pay for so be careful. Make sure you have insurance first and that the shipper is licensed and insured. UShip is a great option for this and commonly used.
