Help me build the perfect VLX

The new adjustable height drivers seat would also be a great upgrade. And if you want carpet that does not smell, stain, drains itself, is removeable and is super easy to maintain take a look at deckadence. It's been great this year for us, everyone really likes this stuff and how it feels on your feet.

Any weblink for that stuff ?

No problem for long post. It is useful

They then clip to the cleats super easy, leave carabiner in the fender. You can also pick them up at Wal-Mart. You are also still able to use cleats for docking lines.

I hear you loud and clear...but all these boats are starting to look the same to me. I can't tell them apart on Norris.

FUnny, that isn't the case on Loudon at all. They all have some sort of orange (go figure). The only other ski/wake boat I ever see is a black A22 w/ vapor blue accdents.

Do you find the chance of scratching the gel coat easier with those carabiners?

I'm running this "15 this weekend, looked great on he water!

I wonder why Malibu doesn't make the swoosh on the lower hull and the accent on the rear upper hull flow together more. It's better on the 23LSV (which came first of course), but on the VTX and VLX it just looks a little off. Why not make those in proportion more? It just seems like a lack of detail on the design to me.

Still a great looking boat...just wish the white looked like they went together more.

I'm voting 2-4-1-5. 4 & 1 I could interchange every time j look at it. But two is now my obvious first choice. Silver flake and vapor blue look amazing together in the water.

I am biased though:

Ok, so it's been around 3 weeks that I've been building boat on Malibu website, so sorry for all the schemes I posted, but I think I'm getting closer to what looks like a beauty to me :-) It's just started to make me crazy, and I'm a bit lost with all the schemes, which means I still need your help !

I will be really pleased if you can once again tell me which one looks the best for you or if you will do a color change on a scheme or something else. I also included red option as I'm still hoping convince me wife red is nice ah ah ah.

THANKS A LOT TO THE CREW FOR ALL YOU SUPPORT WITH MY NEW TOY !

All the new ones look good too but I'm sticking with my vote from this post if that's allowed :)

Ranked in order. I know a lot of people will comment about the white hull. I think it is not only timeless & classy but practical. The black does take more effort to keep it looking great. I also love how the colors pop against the white. Really looks amazing on the water.

I am not a huge red fan, but I do really like that scheme, but in this case, I think the vapor would be the ultimate, dark blue coming in second. Good luck! No matter what you go with it's going to be an awesome boat!

Also... I would love to see the vapor with the lighter flake as a possibility

So here we have the 6 finalists (still have to make up my mind about dark blue, reuben or vapor) but these are my 6 preferred color schemes.

Which one will you pick ?

I'd go for 3 (bottom left) with dark blue instead of vapor. Second choice would be 5 (middle right). I really don't like the schemes with 3 different colors on the deck, too noisy.

+1 except i'd leave the vapor instead of dark blue.
