Any 2016 product line info?

All stereo controls are definitely delayed.

[mallen]

I exclusively use the sport knob to change stereo volume, and there is an obvious delay.

Sport knob is a big disappointment, imho.

+1 on delay.

U actually really like the knob, but i have never done full custom either.

really? I use the knob for speed contrl and surfgate transfers. I don't even tell people pulling me to use the screen, just use the analog, easier to the touch than trying o find it on the screen. Although I don't have stereo functions, I still like the analog

I like it, whoopie if it takes a couple seconds to change volume, surf switch, speed control and wedge adjustment nice.

Ps the push to mute a nice function.

There's nothing "analog" about the knob. It's digital masquerading as analog. That's why there's so much latency when you turn up/down the volume. Each click you feel is no different than repeatedly pushing a digital volume button on a touch screen. It's agravating, especially considering how there's ZERO latency on any of the touch screen controls.

Other issue with the knob is that it doesn't change tracks in every mode, only some. Also, push to mute is cool, but half the time I push it and get nothing. You gotta push it hard.

As for the non-stereo controls (speed, surfgate, and wedge), it works okay but why do I need duplicate controls to what's so easy to use (and see) on the screen? The value of the new dash is having EVERYTHING in one place, and being able to see immediate feedback that your command was received.

You can reach for the stereo in your car, yet they put stereo controls on the steering wheel. To each his own I suppose

[saxton15]

The steering wheel buttons are just another example of "one up". Surf band, steering wheel control...everyone is just playing "we got that feature too".

[bcoppess23]

.. You gotta push it hard.

Ah push it, push it real good!

[thtrog]

Kinda like the stiff buttons on the prior Maliview screen....the more you push it, it will loosen up.

I'd be all for it if they worked as advertised. The latency is a killer.

[wakebrdr94]

Maybe get the knob checked out. There was a tiny bit of latency in the volume control, but it was more with the screen than the actual volume. Meaning the volume actually went up, but the screen was delayed in showing the volume number. All the other functions were instant. (i just got out of a 22VLX to test it)

Has there been in talk of offering surf pipe / FAE like Axis?

I think that's a pcm only thing.

[teamerickson]

I think that's a pcm only thing.

I guess I better start looking at the Gs then!

[teamG]

Need some wisdom here... apologies for barging in on the post. Looking at 2016 MC X30 and Malibu 23LSV. Would love to hear what you all think!

Scrolling through instagram this morning, and a picture of a bow grip blocking what appears to be a new boat from the user "Marorad". The caption is "Can't show you what's behind the sign yet, but after 4 months of design and hard work, we finally get to surf behind this beast". You can see a shadow of the boat in the picture and it is a picklefork without a doubt.

yeah looks like you're right ... seems likely it's a fresh new MXZ

I remember when this thread started people saying it was a 23mxz and everyone said no way. Interesting picture to say the least

They have traditional bow 20,22,23,25. I think it's reasonable to assume they might go with the same size lineup in the next gen MXZ boats.

[tn_rider]

I'd hope they spent more than 4 months on the design?? Seems rushed to me. Nautique spent years on the G

[saxton15]

Jnky I think you are bang on. Line up both model ranges to have identical sizes. Take the MXZ line and beef them right up as their surf line. If I was in the market for a 2016 I'd be holding the pause button until this new boat is unveiled. That same instagram account has a picture of him surfing with the comment as "chest high wave".

Do not have an Instagram account. Can someone post a screen shot of these pictures please? Thanks.

I believe people were saying probably not because some of the claims of there being a 23 MXZ were based off of wakemakers having it on their boat list like a year ago. IDK maybe they had inside info but I doubt it.
