Vettesetter 267 Posted April 23, 2014 Not enough info, but seems like a bargain at first glance. Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill_AirJunky 3,157 Posted April 23, 2014 (edited) Good price, great boat. Looks like my brother's XTI without the SkySki graphics. Edited April 23, 2014 by Bill_AirJunky Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pnwrider 3,509 Posted April 23, 2014 I'm guessing its gonna need some TLC at that price. If not, that is a deal. Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bunji169 582 Posted April 23, 2014 Good deal. I sold an 04 LSV last year for $42k. $26k is an awesome deal. It would be worth and inspection by local dealer just in case there's any hidden problems. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vigwilson 28 Posted April 23, 2014 It would have to be in terrible shape or something seriously wrong/scam if he still has it. Deals like this last 24hours max. Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jimmypooh 219 Posted April 23, 2014 Looks pretty dirty and has sun damage you can see on the top of the bow seats. It likely has sun damage on the top of the dash too especially with the color of the dash. Could still be nice, but expect to replace the interior if you want it to look decent. I doubt it was well maintained based on how the interior was cared for. You can also see some decent gel scratches on the deck from the bow picture. I wouldn't call this a steal but a decent price for the condition. Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ndawg12 2,306 Posted April 23, 2014 (edited) what are your opinions?http://www.boattrader.com/listing/2005-Malibu-Wakesetter-VLX-613020Do you want someone to look at it or do you just want opinions from us armchair qb's? Have you called the seller and got a feel for how it was maintained and what shape its in or did you just find a "deal" on the internet? We need a little more info from the OP and the seller IMO before I'd commit to looking at it. Edited April 23, 2014 by Ndawg12 1 Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nitrousbird 2,077 Posted April 26, 2014 Some of you are trying to call an '05 VLX for 26k an okay deal? That's getting to a steal/scam price. Most are selling in the mid 30's. A little fading, minor scratches, or a little vinyl wear is typical of those boats going for 35k. Either this is a scam, something really wrong with this boat or it is already sold.

John I. 411 Posted April 27, 2014 Is the boat on spring valley lake?Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkYep. It has been a couple years since I have there (my brother owns a house on the water) but I thought I recalled seeing a red Malibu. Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
