2016 boat delivery

[sunvalleylaw]

Hi, Steve here.  New guy.  In the market and hope to have a pic posted in the next month.  Will be used.  Life long boater, but life long outboard guy.  this will be my first inboard.  I have driven them, but never owned.  Will be looking at a "turn of the century" RLX.  I like the stepover, and it will be in my price range.  the lucky boat that joins our family will not have a tower, but will have a bimini top.  Will primarily be a ski boat, with some wakeboard and general family use.  

This is not mine (a friend's) but it will look a lot like this, and spend a good deal of time on this lake.

It is Redfish.  That is a friend's boat, anchored just inside the cove from the boat launch.  I am looking at a similar boat, a '98, and have my brother checking it over for me this weekend.

Almost the same as my 2015 VLX! We have the vapor blue hull and a black tower.  If I could change one thing about our boat, it'd have a white G4 (was a demo though so didn't order it).  Love your color combo and interior, looks great!!!

@hethj7what model AO is that?

[hethj7]

I am pretty sure we have the 36 can vinyl soft sided version. A 48 may fit, but I can't say for sure.

I finally pulled the trigger. Looked around for about 6 months. Thanks to the CREW, I've learnt a lot about Malibu boats in that time

Bought a Malibu Response TXI with 6.2L Raptor. Was built 2 months ago.

I pick it up next week. Cant wait. Have one week holiday booked in for the week after. I think its going to be a good week

Pics in my boathouse.

Aussietl did we see any pics of the TXI?

[sunvalleylaw]

Just bought this today!  My first ever tourney boat!  After years of skiing at altitude behind our old outboard, I am very excited about this!  Will be hauling it from Issaquah WA to Idaho this weekend.  

 

 

 

 

That is the former owner's stuff in the boat.  I will put my own stuff in soon.

He clearly loved this boat and took it out one last time in the morning with his wife for one last set.  So, yeah, kinda!   He did some final clean up work, and recoated the rear step, and put a little more wax on after this pic.

That looks a lot like a boat one of my buddies owned 12 years ago. In fact I'm sending him pics just in case.

The boat was originally a promo boat years ago.  Owned all this time by one owner from the Seattle area, AWSA member and instructor, and Lake Sammamish Water Ski Club Exec Board member.
