are the pictures of the ipad down? 

It looks like it.   I'm guessing TMC got a note from Malibu.     

I'd be curious how those discussions go - TMC is unaffiliated but I know in the past, TMC has tried to maintain a good relationship with Bu, although I'm not sure at this point what benefit TMC gets from that.

good thing I saved them, then

Eh... not necessarily. Sometimes a user is asked by a dealer to take them down.

The entire thread seems to have disappeared

[Pnwrider]

Figured those would disappear, first thing I did was hit save image! 

[SCMike]

Yeah, the iPad thread seems to be gone.  

Before they pulled it down, I did notice that the 25LSV and no other model has an option for a flip down swim step.  Id be curious to see how this looks and functions.

If this is the cobalt hardware/design I'll have a 25LSV on my shopping list (for when I can afford a used one in about 10 years.)

If they have this option on the 23 LSV I will probably upgrade to a 2019 if I can get the DI motor also.

Seems like a cool option, but not enough for me to consider an upgrade from my 2018.

I'd really like to see more on the 25 LSV.  Seems like nothing new has come out in a few weeks.

They just released the 22 LSV last week??

We had that on our Cobalt - it's a great feature.

Perfect place to sit while anchored!

It was kind of a PITA to stow if you weren't in the water though.

HA - nope - we had one of the affordable (cheap) Cobalts - not one of those fancy ones where the entire swim step was motorized.

I meant nothing new on the 25LSV.  There were a few spy photos, but nothing else since then.  I want to see more!

Here is a 2019 23 LSV with the power tower. Their Facebook page shows it operating.

The 1st rule of the iPad thread:

1. You don’t talk about the iPad thread.

Pics of all the changes on a big list with each model.

G10.... Puke Bimini sticking up? I'm sorry this tower just looks awful. G4 looks more modern and way more sexy than this.. 

[Sailvi767]

I have to agree, that is one ugly tower!

[smooky]

But a nice boat ;-) and you don't need tower for wakesurfing 

[boardjnky4]

How often are you using your boat with a stowed bimini? I never see them folded in. Heck, most of the time I see people trailer with them out since the newer ones are rated for decently high speeds.

[ahopkins22LSV]

The tower looks much better in person. And I agree who cares what the bimini looks like folded up. That’s probably oriented like that so when the tower is down the bimini and tower clear everything.
