New 09 VLX

[Kingfish]

Finally picked her up last weekend I've got 15 hours on it already, weather was kind of crappy for the break in with rough chop and white caps and highs of 55 F; but hey it could always be worse. Throws a decent stock surf wake, love the handling, great power and really love that rumble. Sorry for the poor quality photos the camera decided to crap out but its vapor blue and ebony.

I like the colors.

What lake do you go to mostly?

[Malibuzer]

Looks good Kingfish!!! It should be quite a change from the last boat.

[Kingfish]

Amisk right across the road from Skeleton, not sure how to insert larger pictures sorry gang.

[Malibuzer]

Post some pics on Photobucket or FLickr and then just post the link to the pictures. We had snow last weekend. This weekend is supposed to be nice and we have to go to a family event with no lake near by.

[Kingfish]

Huge difference in handling, I'm not so good coming into the dock or loading onto the trailer yet but outside of that it handles on a dime. I love it, the maliview is the screen I go to for everything. Really love the power, suprising how quickly you are at top end with out feeling like it. I will say ,this boat rides great in chop, the water was rough for the break in yet it absorb the bumps really well. I really like the roominess and storage. Any tips on inserting photos would be appreciated. Need to order some speaker socks and an evolution cover down the road.

[Malibuzer]

The speaker sox are great. If you don't have to tow with the cover I would still avoid it. If you do tow with the cover than the Evolution is the way to go. I still ended up with some rubbing, but that was 9 hours in the rain!!! For the return trip I just ran painters masking tape down the sides where I knew it may rub. That was the perfect trick. Corey will stand behind his product as well or better than anyone!!

[Malibuzer]

Don't forget the wakeboard rack sox as well. Saves a lot of time and energy, and best of all no more polishing.

[Kingfish]

Plan on getting the wakeboard socks as well, need a transome pad , to bad the group buy is not happening. This is a shot off of the dock when the weather was actually calm.

Nice boat and congrats. I prefer screamin sacs over socks, but both are great. The sacs shed water much better.

Not the best photos

Great looking boat and nice colors.. Looks sweet in the water.

Just got my Speaker Sox the other day.. Gonna put them on tonite..

Wanted to get a transom pad too, but when I look at the changes of the back of the boat, don't think the pad would be any good.. With the new back, it would cover the handle.. ?

[Kingfish]

I'm wondering whether the transom cover will work as well, not sure how much the grab handle will get used.

Thanks for the comments.

Ya I hear ya, I wondered about that too..

Hate to cover it up as well as the bling, bling chrome Malibu emblem..

All I know is, some of the riders that come with me, I definetely need something on the transom..

[Hack]

Great looking boat! I like that Vapor blue as an accent...

[Malibuzer]

You could have an upholstry shop just biuld you a transom protector. They could make a cut out around the grab handle. I am sure the guys that make the new covers for WLM could zip you one one pretty quick.

[droptine]

Ya I tried WLM, but they didn't seem to know too much about it, which surprised me.. ?

[Malibuzer]

They don't, but I know they have seen mine on the boat. I would ask Ron who they use to make new boat covers and talk to that guy. Anyone that can sew a complete cover should laugh at a transom pad!

nice boat, congrats. that vapor blue has a laser look to it.

Yup, Broke mine in on chop also.

17HRS on mine, these are sick boats. enjoy and take care.

[Kingfish]

The count down to hour 15 took forever but I loved it, they are great boats.

Cervelo I spent hours with microsoft adding the vapor blue to that photo, wondering how that color scheme would look on the water. Had a couple guys pull up in their Malibu and complimented us on the color scheme.

funny, so that wasn't even your boat that i inserted there. sorry bout that.

gotta love alberta, its june and the air is 49F and water 51F already.

sure would like to see a pic of the surf wake on the regular side, with stock and with a 750 in the trunk.

what's with the piece of carpet zapped to the trailer?

[Kingfish]

Took a couple photos of the surf wake with just the MLS and it was thigh high with two people in the boat, my son rode back about 8-10 feet But of course the camera crapped out so nothing to show. The water and air were 55F during the break in. The carpet I think was for transit purposes. I should be at the lake today 30 C for a high.; to much stuff to do at home.
