What would you like to ask Malibu Boats if you could?

you know, to read this and some other threads you would think all Malibu's have power wedge problems, vinyl problems, warranty problems, etc. but the reality is these things happen to a very small percentage of boats. mine is an '08 and the only warranty issue i have had with it was handled as fairly as i could expect. I have owned 2 malibu's and could not be happier with my decision to go with this brand.

I really hope this topic is viewable to members only because i don't think the concerns raised are a true representation of the brand overall.

This topic is actually not going to work because the only questions they are going to answer are the ones that allow them to state how amazing they are, no different really than the nautique q&a posted by nyryan. The difference being that Malibu boats are actually AMAZING!!

A couple more questions/suggestions....

-A cleat up near front bow of the boat to tie boat off

-Improving vinyl bead on rear seats (double stitched?) , my center cushion is pulling apart on center cushion and corner cushion. Maybe a fold down stepping pad to eliminate some wear and tear coming off the walkover transom cover.

-Windscreen that does not need to be elevated up with rubber stoppers to sit fush with center window

-Rear facing seating options (VLX)

-Hinged ice chest cooler on all models (currently not on the VLX/VTX)

-Impeller driven ballast system to fill bags (another option from PnP)

-Something to secure center window when opened up

-Drivers seat with open mesh rear backing to cool driver (like Tige offers)

-Adjustable drivers seat (like Supra offers)

-Second bilge pump in center inspection cover, reposition current bilge pump to more center of the boat

-Second gas shock on ski locker doors to lighten up covers

and for fun....

when you order a new boat a custom plate stamped with "Custom built for the xxxx family/persons name" that can be removed when boat is sold. I thought where my current MUX switch plate is located on rear seat would be a great spot and add a little personal touch from Malibu.

I like Malibu as well, but most of this^^ seems to be standing list of "suggestions" that we always seem to have here at the crew. I don't see why we shouldn't ask them about when or how they will address them in the future. That isn't complaining, that is asking R&D if they are coming out with features that seem to be on the list of most Malibu owners.

Why is the center bilge access cover not "even" but raised from the deck in my '13 23LSV...Seems that it will be a wear area in the carpet because it is right in the middle of the walk way access and is where the driver puts a foot to stand up?

I can tell you from experience that Malibu reads this forum and the Axis forum. I was contacted over something I said.

Hope it wasn't bad lol

Now that MC is running with Malibu's fiberglass bow cover idea (from the old Corvette), I'm wondering if Malibu is planning on (or if it ever crossed their mind) offering a similar bow cover as an option on their standard boat line.
