Am I the only one who remembers when Malibu made a ski boat? LOL

I am curious what % of Malibu sales come from outside the United States?

Bama,

Did you see any VRides in the factory? Do they use the same vinyl as Wakesetters?

Yes, saw one that was being popped out of the mold and another one going through rigging. Same vinyl for all Malibus.

To me, the sharpest looking boat I saw was the TXI. That black and charcoal metallic was soooo sharp!

[Dare2goBare]

spring now to put her through the passes.

Has anyone seen the 2013 slider bimini option in person? I like the concept, but not sure I like the looks of all the extra hardware/arms on the tower in the stowed position.

The biggest problem on my 11 is stuffing everything back into the cover. It would be nice to have a little larger cover to allow more space for the folded bimini material.

The concept looks good on the new bimini, but it does not appear to be much faster, just less parts. I would lije to see it in person before making any final opinions.

I saw cargo Bimini tops at factory, but not the slider
