Something he also doesn't do is post pictures of all his scientific facts (theories) on prop changes and the effects on ski wakes on the new vtx hulls ..... but he will argue that to the death as well and tell everyone else they are wrong.

And yet you still post this .....weird

 

Apparently pointless baiting of 23 and I is the direction of the thread so I'm going to wait on bottle.  

Bottle, check to see if factory receipt labels it "duct" or "duck" tape.  Will be telling as to the quality of repair.

@spikew919 is 100% correct. The G4 bimini with the pistol bracket is installed at the factory. I have more proof...

This is a pic of my boat last year. It was a 2016 23 LSV with G4 tower.  I dug up this pic because I remember going down to AWS the day we unwrapped it. This pic was literally taken as we pulled back the plastic shipping cover. What do you see??

Why are you guys still debating who installs the bimini on the G4?  How did this pic NOT end the debate?

reminder... this is the FIRST pic I took of my 2016 23 LSV... as we unwrapped it!!

That is the shrinkwrap you see being pulled back. No hands touched this boat after it left the factory. 

23's pics mean NOTHING because we can't see what they did to those boats after they were photographed.  Not to mention the fact that he posted pics showing the brackets were indeed mounted at the factory (Spike's original complaint).

Spike is right. 23 and 85 are wrong. End of debate.

UPDATE..............The boat is on its way back to me in Florida.  The dealer is going to water test it and clean it up,  I should know if the problem is solved this week, stay tuned.

Hopefully all is good! Will be following to hear the results. And if you have any feedback from what the plant did find and adjusted that would be really cool to hear too. Understand if you don't want to post that publicly though.

I take no pleasure in it, but sometimes people don't read. Even you claimed dealer install a full 24 hours after I originally proved that dealers DON'T install G4 biminis.

UPDATE.........I finally got boat back from the dealer on Saturday and back in the water.  WOW what a difference!!! This thing will run now 37mph and as flat as a Caddy, I mean I cant explain how different it is.  Even in alittle bit of chop she runs flat.  As for the repair, you can see there is a pronounced hood at the stern from port to starboard but nothing bad, looks like it came from factory.

Awesome news, and good on Malibu for taking care of the issue.  Still a bit perplexed how it could happen in the first place but cool that it's fixed!

The biggest question is...

How is the wake and wave?  I mean, that's presumably why you bought it in the first place. How do you add a visible hook to the stern without impacting the wake/wave?

Very glad to hear it was fixed. Hopefully the wake and wave is unchanged as that is a great question lol. 

Things are misse sin prepoduction and validation. Companies go through engineering changes all the time. Sucks it wasn't caught up front but the repair seemed pretty seamless from what you told us.

Probably delays the convergence a bit.  :)

The big thing hook does is slows the top end. 1/16 of a inch of hook on a fast I/O can knock 5 MPH off the top speed. The question is are all the boats now coming out of the factory with the last two inches hooked or is it a as needed fix?

Just openly wondering here, but if this is a mold or design issue that has been resolved in later production units, shouldn't the impacted units be recalled for the fix proactively?  Especially if it's as big of a safety concern as the original OP stated?  Or maybe the OP's is just a one-off.

The wave and wake seem the same honestly, I was hoping it would help a little on the bow rise but to no avail.  I am not sure how to add pics either.
