Any 2016 product line info?

[DarkSide]

Has anyone heard what is coming with the 2016 models? I talked to my dealer a little this week, only a few production slots left, looking at June if i ordered now, or I wait a few weeks and order 2016?

I know 2015 was huge year. PW2, new dash, G4 tower, etc. If 2016 will be the same way, could be worth the wait.

My areas of interest would be.

1. Power options raptor?

2. Ballast? Increase in subfloor?

3. Rumble seat option?

Likely won't have that info until July. Dealer may have a little information sooner, but they usually hold out to make sure to get rid of remaining 2015 stock. Power plants will be the big "what if".

The only thing I know for sure.......2016 will cost more than 2015.

Couldn't have said it better myself..

I'm sure if you look around the rest of the industry and see what options are selling they'll be quick to pick up for 2016, the rumble seat being one of them I think. You could also wait a couple of weeks and push for a deal on a leftover 15...

New model coming or newly designed 247 is on the list for 2016. Lots of storage and ballast so no need to rush and order a boat until you the full details.

Same here.

Also leftover '15 will likely be scarce. There is not much left now. Last week they were down to a single 23, 2 22 MXZ, and a couple VLX. They sold all of the bigger stuff fairly rapidly. Weather turned really nice here and people are buying boats.

They likely have a few more coming in though, so who knows....

My local dealer has a leftover '14 247. He's had it since Feb 2014 as it was at the boat show. It wouldn't surprise me if the 247 goes away and something competent new takes it's place as they don't seem to sell too well.

The 247 is too big in the cabin to me. The 23 LSV and 24 MXZ are perfect to me.

Tims, awesome comment and spot on.

Saidainc- Its all good man. Your MXZs are at the bottom of the hate list. They aren't NEARLY as bad as MC owners

I wouldn't use prozac. Too frequently causes ED.

I would opt for celexa or lexapro in this situation. Less sexual side effects.

Come on now LBJ! Take it easy brotha!

Don't get him started on f150s [emoji2]

[Sunscape fan]

I love how an F150 somehow makes it into nearly every thread!!!

[DarkSide]

I don't get the f150 thing? Is there really that many on here who have never driven a RAM?

I love my 247 and I'm holding out making any changes this year because a little birdy told me they are getting a makeover in 16'? I will hold out to see what that looks like and then either buy a new Malibu or the G25.

1) Ford engines for Wakesetters

2) bimini that allows the G4 tower to collapse

3) BIG change on the trailer side of things...

4) reconfiguration of the rear sub-floor ballast

Trailer changes need to happen, as these boats have gotten significantly heavier, trailer ratings have stayed low. It is close enough without changes i will order a triple axle on my next boat.

I think most of us agree increased subfloor ballast is WAY overdue.

This morning's call confirmed some of your predictions.

1. Malibu will produce thier own trailers.

2. 4 new/redesigns for 2016 3 Malibu 1 Axis

3. "Something new to marine industry" ?????
