Saw this one today. A little over budget but nice!

[shawndoggy]

that's a SMOKING deal on an 05. I don't think I've EVER seen one listed for less than $34k.

Somebody go buy that one right now!!! Assuming it looks as good in person as in the pictures, that is a hard price to beat.

[Ndawg12]

were hours listed, not that great of a deal if it has 1500 hours!!

Edit - Curiosity got the best of me I called, had to swap motor, new motor has 520 hrs and the hull has 1050 hrs. Definitely worth a look if you were in that market and planned on keeping it for a while.

Wonder if the Damper Plate was replaced when they did the motor?

[Levi900RR]

This one that was posted on the good deal thread looks like it would fit you nicely Levi. Not in your neck of the woods but i am sure you can find someone on Uship... .

[Mjlee1985]

[wakesetter8796]

Almost to good of a deal. Low hours it's worth looking into.

[msuwaterski]

Too good to be true. Sorry, but it's the very first thing that came to my mind.

Ha, me too that's why I threw it up here. I am going to call the number listed today. If it's legit I may have to make a run down south!

Another interesting one... Real close to me also:

Some total sketchness though.

Here is one I found at this same dealer. Might be a little more legit.

http://www.candlewoodeast.com/Page.aspx/diid/7356025/list/InventoryList/pageId/48713/view/Details/2001-Malibu-Sunsetter-VLX.aspx

Looks like a monster tower and the trailer looks a little crappy. Other than that it looks pretty clean. I'm on travel this week but may have to make a trip to CT next weekend.

Sure looks to be in pretty good condition, wonder why they had to replace the engine tho, and why gauges wouldn't work with it??

[shawndoggy]

It says they replaced with a Mercruiser motor... if they used the mercruiser ecm too, maybe they wouldn't talk to each other? No perfect pass either? That is a weird weird boat right there Levi. I think at its current price it's rapidly approaching what it's worth.

[Levi900RR]

I'm really leaning towards this one. Might go down to take a look this weekend. What do you guys think?

http://www.candlewoodeast.com/Page.aspx/diid/7356025/list/InventoryList/pageId/48713/view/Details/2001-Malibu-Sunsetter-VLX.aspx

I'm thinking plumb in my 400# vdrive sacs and run it for now. Probably search for a T3 eventually, and add PP.

You guys think I'd be happy with a diamond hull? I'm so on the fence with that. I'm a novice wakeboarder at best and I can't imagine I'm really going to be missing anything...

It wen't for 26K, I think that is a bit steep...

I think the diamond hull comes in right after the wheel. Many people say you don't see much if any difference till 28-32. I wakeboard at 21.8 so the only time you will see it is when skiing and thats when you need it.
