Any 2016 product line info?

[IXFE]

I think he was saying that it could be retrofitted to 2012

Ahhh... perhaps if he'd written more than 3 words, that would have been clear.

So back to the topic. What's new for 2016?

[nyryan2001]

Folks talking on here clueless.

NSS came out in 2013. I had one of the first.

Nautique allows retrofits back to 2012s that have Linc.

[OxDoc]

I'm curious as well about the upcoming updates. If they add more subfloor ballast, I will probably upgrade this year.

Pretty sure that's what I said... and more than once.

So back to the topic. What's new for 2016?

I'm hearing BIG things are coming……Looking forward to seeing the new G killer…...

[OxDoc]

I was reading Malibu's quarterly report and it says "We plan to continue to bring to market four new or remodeled boats and several never before seen features in the 2016 model year". Very interesting indeed.

Yes, they did say that. They also said that because now they had a full line up of Axis boats, the focus would shift back to Malibu... 3 of the 4 will be Malibus with 2 going into production next month.

My guess is the following:

• A20 redesign
• VTX redesign
• 247 redesign
• ?????

[jwl019]

Wondering if the A24 gets redesigned prior to the A20?

[OxDoc]

Maybe the 4th boat is the so called G Killer. These never seen before innovations also have me a bit intrigued. I almost bought a new boat last year, but I had a feeling that something big was just around the corner. Time will tell.

[teamerickson]

Nothing will kill the G. It's king of the hill.

[nyryan2001]

The redesigned 2016 G will

[Arizona247]

The redesigned 2016 G will

Are they redesigning the G already? Might need to stop in and talk to the boys at Action Water Sports

[nyryan2001]

That's the rumor over on the Nautique forum.

Something big will always be around the corner. If not, their sales volume drops in half.

I agree, but I keep thinking about all that extra freeboard and can't help but think that more ballast is on the way. I may be completely wrong. It wouldn't be the first time

[wakebrdr94]

When everyone compares everything to the G, you know Nautique got it right.

[DarkSide]

Everyone compares tho G, but 23LSV kills then in sales, so i would argue Malibu got it right. Make no mistake i think the G is awesome, but i still prefer the BU.

I couldn't agree more. To me the Bu is a much better looking boat, at a much better price. I'm pretty terrible at wakeboarding and surfing (still love them both), so looks and comfort are huge to me and my family. The only thing I like about the G is all the subfloor ballast.

[ktrent]

The 23 is so so so much more bang for your buck than a G or any Mastercraft in my opinion.

[wakebrdr94]

I think Malibus are much more bang for the buck, that's why I own bu's.

The G makes a great pro level wake, 99%of Malibu customers are not riding at that level nor do they need a pro level wake.

Malibu is not going after the G. My opinion, their sales and market share says they do not have to.

[saxton15]

But that new 247 will have a lot more freeboard and up the ante for Malibu subfloor ballast.

I'm more interested in this feature they said the industry has never seen before.

[JoeA]

I agree that Malibu does not have to build the G killer boat as sales are up and they sell more boats than the other guys. But I do think there's enough interest in subfloor ballast plus greater storage so why not make the G killer boat. It will draw attention to Malibu and they can market themselves as being innovative. It's a win win.

Time will tell but I say they build it

[bunji169]

Especially if they named it "G Killer"

I bet it is already built. Just waiting to be released.

Not my cup o tea (similar to the G and the X23) but it will be a hit
