[thtrog]

She's arrived but still has to get prepped for delivery, hopefully tomorrow I can get some pics unwrapped.

Such a tease... ;->

What's on your project list?

Hold the phone! Is that RED diamond plating on the trailer??

That is Rueben Red diamond plate and accents on the trailer. First impression I like it, but will see how it all comes together when the boat's unwrapped. The projects on the list are stereo, SeaDek flooring, and rear ballast install. First agenda is to get some time on the water!

Boat looks great and those wheels are pretty sweet too.

Love the red hull!

[thtrog]

Just a couple of pictures, it was late this afternoon before we picked her but we did get 2.5 hours before sundown.

Gorgeous... that thing just pops. As I predicted, I really love how the white on the rear/bottom ties into and balances the white on the top/front.

Well done!

Nice work! I agree with IXFE completely.

We need a closeup of that black flake!!! Love the color scheme!! That white tower sets it off.

I love the darker red! Forget what Malibu calls it lol. Congrats again

[ndahlberg12]

Oh that Reuben red is GORGEOUS! Congrats on picking it up. Very classy and clean looking set up, on the water and on the trailer.

straight pimpin'. Refined but b.a. at the same time.

Definitely my favorite LSV I have seen delivered on this site. That red hull and the balance of the white looks great. I also love the two tone trailer, sweet!

[ozsurf]

Congrats

"Looks sensational"

Cheers

Thanks all! Here are a couple more, it's hard to capture the flake.

Interior shots...it's moonbeam, Lt graphite, ebony, rueben.

[ahopkins22LSV]

That's badass man. I was very impressed driving one today. Handled very well at surf and wakeboard speeds.

[Slayer]

Love it!! I can't get over how awesome the black metal flake is!

Eddie, that boat is just sick... (Yes at 42 years old I just said sick!)

More importantly how are you liking the wakeboard wake? I saw a board on the rack in your picture... Do you get to ride behind it or did your boys? I know you would have a good feel for the wake seeing as you have owned a variety of wakesetters. Wake still clean at lower speeds?

Turned out awesome. Love the black flake. Mine sprayed 5-5 so I am about a week behind you. Your pics have me very excited. Have you deployed the slider bimini yet.

Oh yeah the trailer is bad a$$. Kind of regretting getting a standard trailer but I only use it for winter storage. I guess I will take only pics in water so no one laughs at trailer.

Thanks Travis! The wakeboard wake is very nice, today was the first time running stock ballast and wedge. My son has been ridinf taking it easy and from my prospective it has lots of potential. I did run as slow as 20 today and it was super clean, if I had read this post I would have dropped down more. After being out the last 3 days I can can tell you I like the boat a lot and can't wait to get some surfing in soon.

Thanks! I think the black flake is going to be very popular, I've been requesting it prior years. Can't wait to see your boat too, congrats! Don't sweat the trailer, makes perfect sense in your case.

Here are a couple of changes not sure anyone has shown. There's a new grab/tow bar on the transom and new grab handles in the interior.

Our 23 has the new grab handles and the same tow bar design, but the tow bar has a chrome finish and doesn't have the Malibu logo. I find it interesting that Malibu seems to upgrade little things throughout the model year. Edited May 19, 2014 by WakeSwagger
