Yes... a super duper thick sticker!

[Fman]

Wait, sticker? No way man, that is a DECAL.

Interesting the bow light is no longer a flip up? Permanently up?

[Cory]

Pop up bow light has always been an upgrade option. Maybe Eddie didn't want/order it.

You'd think for a $100k they could at least use their CNC machine an engrave the logo in the aluminum. Just sayin! It actually might look better without the decal Edited May 19, 2014 by Sunscape fan

That black flake pops! Beautiful boat...

[thtrog]

Cory is correct, It's nice I've just never had preference for the pop-up bow light. I do want thank Cory for recommending the saltwater option on the racks and tower knobs. I can already tell with the anodized coating there will be no maintenance other than wiping down.

[Cory]

I bet those anodized racks match the finish on the new grab handles a little better too. They appear to be moving away from chrome and SS. I bet the metal bars in the walk-thru to the bow will be changed next.

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

Yep, like Jesus in a tuxedo t-shirt. Classy but likes to party.

Seriously might be a candidate for boat of the year. No offense to anyone else, but dang.

And I just scrolled up and saw the white trailer fenders....some modern day bad***ery mixed with old school hot rod flavor on this one.

Yes, sweet boat...I am going to have to go home now and check my grab handles and compare...those look different but will have to take a look.

Again sweet boat, that is a clean colour combo and that black flake is awesome.

[bamabonners]

billet aluminum.... love the stuff....lots of it

new handles look good.

[thtrog]

Here's a change for '14 that I like and would be worth doing, hinged seat over the transmission access. It uses lift-off hinges, just remove the port corner seat and shift the center seat to remove when needed.

[thtrog]

A few more angles, we've been the the lake 3 times...it's been couldy each time we get there.

[TheKiwi]

That looks SO DARN GOOD!

What is on the left side of the transom? It looks like you can pull a plug out to access something...

[teamerickson]

Look great!

Time to change the avatar.

The surfgate horn? Lets you know sides are switching.

[thtrog]

That is a horn and the far left is a hose hookup for the Perko flush kit.

I'm really looking forward to glamour shots of the seadek flooring...

Can you comment on the difference in sound between the standard flapper exhaust and the ste exhaust?

I just switched - it is hard to notice a difference in IMO. I think our new boat is slightly quieter at ski speeds, but not a huge difference IMO. They look great though!

You guys did such a BA job on this boat. I love how the black shines like crazy in the sun but then mellows out at the right angle or in not perfect sunny weather. I really want to order a new TXi with the black flake and vapor blue

Life is short... just do it!

Honestly, you're never going to know what it looks like unless YOU build it. ;-)

Is the black flake on the Malibu boat builder? I didn't see it on there....or is it a special order thing?

Special order. From what I understand, they will make any color a flake, it's just a matter of $$$.
