I am looking to add a tower mounted mirror for my G5 tower.  However, it seems to me that it will not be usable unless the Bimini is deployed?  Anyone have any experience with this on a 2023 25 LSV? My use case is to leave the bimini deployed all summer, but for the winter I usually keep it stowed to keep it clean and allow more sunlight on chilly days.  Any more recent thoughts on the NICE vs Malibu mirror arm?

Also, my boat came with "Mirror & W/S Mount - PTM 14 in - Black Compos" per the build sheet.  Is this mirror useable on either of these mounts, or will I need a new mirror as well?

Is this setting up the recipe for other athletes to start switching brands with everything happening with Tommy's??

Regina switching to Nautique has nothing to do with Tommy’s.  Just like Will Asher, and others.  Let alone Dennis Kelly.  

I removed mine completely.  Didn't want the chain or balls falling into the tank.  Plus I don't like the cap hanging against the gel coat dinging it up.

On the ski side, Tgas appears to be the only Malibu sponsored athlete at present.  His ski school in Italy probably has a bearing on staying with Malibu given the assets tied up with the school. 

Add the cord cutting with Malibu's hard working 3 event manager Dennis Kelly, who did a ton for the program, to the current travails happening with Malibu and one has a big bowl of not good going down.  Sad to see this chapter unfold in the company founded by Bob Alkema.

Yep.  The culture that built the brand is dead and buried.  The "boutique" feel is gone.  The three event program was the last remaining vestige of the company identity and culture.

What, you mean that the last class action lawsuit where I got $10 that the lawyers made millions?  

Sounds like my WorldCom stock back in the day.  That’s when I realized (most) Class Action Lawsuits only benefit the lawyers.
