[stonelx]

Custom ordered from Malibu Marine in Kelowna BC, Canada.

Designed the color layout myself.

Options:

Docking lights

Bow hook

Cabin Heater

Hot water shower

CD Player

Wedge Plate (No wedge, I'm not much of a wake boarder, but thought I could use it later, or for a barefoot plate)

Mods:

Perfect Pass Star Gazer

Barefoot Boom

Trick release

Tow vehicle used to be a 2002 Chevy S10. (yeah, I know, but we don't tow it far)

Now I have a 2013 Nissan Titan Pro4x to tow it.

Here are some pics!

I need to find some newer ones!

I see some of the SS's come with tribal graphics.

I thought Malibu didn't offer those decals until after they discontinued the SS.

So, are those tribal graphics from factory or aftermarket?

Just curious.

Aftermarket.

. Here is my '01.

Good thread so I can see alike boats!

First one is when I towed her home from Lake Havasu after buying in 2012. First weekend in June....107 in Havasu and 33 the next day in central Nevada.

The original owner stripped her naked of decals.....now I'm wanting to add them back. I just noticed DomedNumbers is making Malibu graphics now. Might have to order some from them after not getting a response last year when I asked if they had the capability to track down the font.

Guys some great shots. Keep an eye out latter this year and submit some of those shots for a chance to be in the '15 TMC calendar.

I love this picture! It's such a great boat in such a beautiful location. I have to say....I love that color combination on that boat. Very nice.

You're the second person in this thread to favor the naked look. Interesting, I'm just enjoying see everyone's opinions on these types of forums. For pride reasons I guess I have wanted to put MALIBU across the side and on the transom so everyone knows this isn't a yellow Bayliner haha. Maybe I'm over sensitive because a buddy of mine had an identically-colored Reinell....and he, being a non-skier, gave me a hard time for paying more for a used 2003 boat than he paid brand new in 2009. My response to him was, "you've got a lot learn" haha. My older Euro-F3 was a dead give away that it was a serious ski boat with the flat bottom, low gunnel, center engine sticking way up, etc. Unfortunately the naked Sunsetters and other high-gunnel boats are passed by some folks as "your average I/O" until you see the prop under the back-end.

After I'm done cleaning up the "Exclusive Towboat...." from the back of my boat, I'm going to put Malibu there, like some of the others on this thread. Keeping the big Malibu off the sides, but Sunsetter LXi small on the back sides. I think the LXi is a classy boat and a more toned down decal approach seems appropriate to me. My two cents.

Yep! The sunsetter gelcoat as well as the Sunscape gelcoat from the early-mid 2000s resembles a runabout gelcoat, although much sexier, and I like the updated Malibu side decal.

Here's a shot of our 2005 LXi pre-tower, back in 2007.

I love seeing all of these beautiful boats..Thank you...you guys sure do know how to hurt a girl..... kinda makes me think twice about selling my 99 LXI. She's been a good time but truthfully she needs to go where she can be used not just for sitting in the coves and listening to music.

Finally got the bimini top on.
