A California skier down the street from me. I haven't heard of it, but looks decent.

If this boat isn't trashed it's the second best deal I've ever seen on a Malibu DD. Any of our Midwest guys wanting the best slalom boat Malibu ever made, here you go.

That boat has been for sale locally for some time and the price has continued to drop.  If it's legit, it would be a great boat for any slalom skier.

Interesting that it is about 10K lower then normal too.

Agreed.

Looks like it could actually be legit.

You could opt to not have them put one on.  I believe you could also order this boat on the Diamond hull for a couple years, meaning this might be the same boat as the excellent-skiing '02-04 Sunscape 21 LSV in "Fakesetter" trim.

FWIW you can still order a Wakesetter today without any tower, surfgate, ballast or wedge.

I saw an 05 vride for sale in Michigan not that long ago that appeared to be on a diamond hull, no one ever seems to mention this when recommending v-drive slalom/crossover boats. It's always 01 sunsetter VLX, 02-04 Sunscape 21 LSV. To be fair I have only seen one this way and a bunch more on the wake hull, but it is pretty slim pickins trying to find a short diamond hull v-drive. Everyone also seems to think going 04 plus is well worth the gorilla fins so scoring a vride seems ideal, but then that starts to overlap the sunscape 20 budget..

Seems like a very odd thing for anyone to do, if they still made direct drive boats that weren't a response I'd get it more, I also wish there were and Axis version of the VTX but that is a different problem.

V-rides on diamond hulls are very rare beasts.

Oh I wouldn’t suggest it lol. And I agree that would be awesome to have the VTX hull in an Axis. Like a T20

[UWSkier]

I wonder if Malibu keeps all their old molds.  They've had some absolutely outstanding hulls through the years.  Would be cool if they'd dust off the Sunsetter LXi hull mold and build a new top mold to go inside it using the new construction method.  Same thing with the OG VTX.  Make one of those with new construction and put it in the Axis line.

[Eagleboy99]

Back in the day I asked CC about this;  they were adamant that they cut them to bits.  Waaaayyyy back, people  bought old molds and "splashed" a new boat.

[Eagleboy99]

Or they send them to Australia.  LOL

[dfarhood]

I imagine they don't save the molds just due to shop space, but everything should still exist in CAD. Unfortunately I imagine convincing Malibu to bring back an old boat would go about the same as trying to buy a T3 tower... I have been meaning to inquire Scott at StarOne/Titan now that he bought the name back does Malibu still own the rights to that tower.

Skiers Choice does this. They have a warehouse of all of their old molds.

It is making it's way to Wis. today. Friend picked it up. Has some TLC do on engine, but sounds like a good deal.
