Do we know who @upperleftwake is.  He could be a pro or someone close to the shoot.

Here's a picture of the rear sunpad. Is that seadeck?

I bought my boat from him. He is a super helpful sales guy at AWS which is a big northwest dealer. I bought my boat sight unseen from them and it was exactly as described. He is active on the forum here as well.

Looks like it to me, center sections at least.

Yes, most of us know who @UpperleftWake is... a great surfer, friend, and stand up dude.

Looks like a 25 to me.. after all they have to film the riders on the best wave

This is just me, but I don't think there is any way they are going to let anyone reveal a new boat except for their (Malibu's) account.  My thought is UpperLeft is just posting photos of (2017) boats and captioning "2018 photoshoot."  From my eye, I can't notice any differences in the two pictures posted.  Looks like the G4 is the same and that looks like the same G3.5 as well.  These are just my speculations.  No way Malibu let's someone post/leak two photos of new boats.  I think UpperLeft is just posting photos and adding captions about the photoshoot to get people talking.

Not the case... Those two photo's were pulled from 2 accounts, to whom are either employed (Ronnie Hanline who does Graphic Design / Marketing) by Malibu Boats or team rider (Thomas Degasperi). This is usually the time of the year that 'Bu does their MY201x photoshoot, and was further reinforced by keeping up with the pictures / IG stories of Sean Kilgus & Charles White who handle a lot of the videography duties. I don't post stuff, just to post stuff ;).

Thanks David (IXFE) and Charlie (95echelon) for the kind words!

Not sure if if this is behind one of the new models, but it's a beautiful wave nonetheless....

I want a budget 23 like the 21vlx. Or just charge me for a power wedge on an axis. 

Your wish may come true...?

I thought that was fun, and that M was was super fun! That was a long rope and I was on the back of my board pushing down on my back foot to not go forward in that picture.

I heard new models are going to a photo shoot/dealer meeting in Knoxville next week.

Or a 21 MXZ...

[05hammerhead]

What about a M21 or M25.  The G25 still seems to be alone up there in big boat land.

Ri257 is even bigger...

I will be taking a factory tour this coming week, so what should I be on the lookout for?  This is my first time touring the plant, does an @IXFE name drop get me special treatment?

[Stevo]

Yeah from what I hear he's got the board of directors in a group text 

[Icon]

Hello All,

I'm in the process of buying a 2017 MXZ and asked the dealer the difference between 2017 and 2018 MXZ.  His comments were $6k increase in price and the option to add Rev 10s.

Im new to the board and malibu, so take it with a grain of salt, but I thought I would share.
