😮 New Skins In Person - 01 Sunsetter VLX

[DGAZ]

Hey MalibuCrew

Just leaving the shop. The vision in my head coming together. What do you think?

I’m personally blown away 🤭🎉😵 I’m going to have them professionally clean & buff that exterior to a beautiful shine before I get the boat back. Then I’ll maintain the exterior moving forward

More to come as we progress. I’ll add the new content to this post. Hope you enjoy as much as I am

That's gonna look super sharp when it's done.

Thanks brotha! It should all come together really well. Definitely a fun process

The problem with having a snappy  new interior is that everything is going to pale in comparison.  So that means lots more work on the hull, the stereo, the trailer... "If you give a pig a pancake".

Ha Ha yeah I already feel that 😅 I’m going to get new decals & clean up the hull real good. Of course the gatorstep and some other items

All good though. Still way under my original budget so I’ll slowly bring everything back to a snappy life ha ha

Never heard the pig version “if you give a mouse a cookie” 🤙🏼

[Eagleboy99]

I am sure it will be awesome, but my guess your budget will be out the window.  And of course you will need Surfgate or equivalent...

And "If You Give a Moose a Muffin".

Those will look awesome!

That is a dark path you are headed down.   Good luck trying to stop

Yeah probably 🥳

Surfgates never really been on my list. Got some new fatsacs & the mission delta. Gonna get some lead for the front but I’ve already surfed a pretty decent wave. Much less convenient but I’m willing to live with it. May plumb for ballast down the road but nothing urgent

Top of my list

GatorStep - Perfect Pass - Get that exterior back to lookin new With some new decals - Stereo is definitely a want and not a need. Maybe hold off for a year or so. The one it came with does the job for now. Small things like new switches etc

Thanks man

Ha Ha my version of a 1965 Bronco I guess. My newest hobby. I’m enjoyin it so far. I’ll tell the wife I’m setting up an annual budget that way I never have to stop. Might as well just earmark sooner rather than later

It is going to look great.  And there is no reason I can see that the gelcoat won't really pop if they get aggressive enough with the wheel and compounding, especially with a new set of decals.

Thanks brother! Really appreciate the encouragement. He said they’ll do a great job with the exterior. $250. Seems fair to me. Then I’ll just maintain the hull with my own equipment moving forward. A resource on here gave me a place for decals. I’m already visioning what I want that to look like in my head

Def need to get the Malibu logo on either side. Just need to decide which version and color scheme. And then update the Sunsetter VLX on either side and the rear Malibu Luxury Sport V. Pricing is very fair. Prob only be a couple hundred bucks.

It is a steal.  If your upholsterer is up to it, he could get a fook-tonne of business of this site.

Fair?  Is this guy using undocumented alien workers?  Multiply by 5 to 10 times for a good detailer.

Ha Ha... that’s what I told him. I have no benchmark because this is my first boat so great feedback. I told him I already may have a couple referrals from here.... which a few have already reached out for more info

Oh wow... that’s crazy dude

He said $250 and I said ok 😅 sounded like a solid deal

That’s funny... exactly where I was referred to from this forum. Already hit them up. They look sweet with the multidimensional approach. So many directions I can go 😕🤯

Modern interior deserves more modern decals.
