2017 BOAT DELIVERY

[HPetit]

I love the seadek in the trailer matching the boat. Did you request that? Did you opt for any trailer options?

I had to specify the color for the trailer.  My dealer initially had it set up with the grey seadeck, but i had them change it.  

The options i got on the trailer are rear transom steps, spare tire, and SS ratchet tie downs,

We took delivery Tuesday night and the boat looks better than I was expecting! Then up early Wednesday morning and started the break in process.

Beautiful. Looks a lot like the VTX we have on order. Hull is ebony/midnight blue and interior is predominantly white w/ accents of ebony/midnight blue. Thanks for posting the pics!

Can't wait to see her with her clothes off ?

Teaser!!!

Am I completely missing something or does Malibu not offer the brown interiors? I like the caramel/camel/brown(whatever you want to call it) color interior but unless I am missing something they don't offer it on their "build a boat" site.

Sounds like a very logical reason to upgrade!

If the wifey doesn't EVER know how much this boat costs I may have a shot!

Here's my ride for the Season. 2017 Malibu Response TXI MO Edition  Available for sale in Mid to late August.

I haven't really liked the online pics of the new TXI but I sat in that boat at the Chicago show, walked around it for about 20 minutes...  wow.  Looked great from any angle, the interior was well thought out and has sooo much more room than my LX, and the quality was incredible (especially after we had just looked at the MC ProStar).   My wife got in for a look around too and she loved it.  But that $103k sticker ($77k show discount) put her into shock.  Had to go get her another Corona after that.  

Available mid-August huh?

Long-time lurker, first-time poster. We took the plunge this winter and will take delivery in late May/early June. We waffled back and forth on the color scheme but ended up going with ebony/midnight on the hull. Our lake is still frozen, so it seems a long way off, but looking forward to getting her in the water.

Welcome to the Crew.  Where the hell do you live that the lake is still frozen?  Definitely not a place I would want to live!!!

Thanks for the welcome. We're in NH and boat on Lake Winnipesaukee - great lake. So it's not quite Canada, but we're within striking distance. We had another foot of snowfall over the weekend, which is a late storm even up here, so boats will be getting in even later than normal. We can typically boat comfortably from mid-May to early October. It's a short season, but I'm not complaining. 

I've been pulling my wife and kids slalom with an under-powered Boston Whaler, so the VTX is going to be a big/great adjustment. We're all excited to get it in the water.

 Tony Romo edition....that is COLD.... I would hope Ronnie' s new boat makes it the entire season without breaking down!

@Ronnie beautiful...i love the blues, unfortunately the boss doesn't 

[Ronnie]

I heard Romo was injured on the way to the new job. Out 6 months...

Few pics from the first weekend out on the new boat.  First pic is at Lake Perris on delivery day.  Second pic is Lake San Vicente on Sunday.  We were able to get out Friday, Saturday, and Sunday and reached the 10 hour mark.  It's going to rain here this weekend, so I may not be able to take her out. Hopefully Sunday if the weather holds up.
