For all of you wondering.. I took this from a post on wb.. but figured Wake Worlders would be interested as well. Windshield is icky.. but looks pretty nice i guess. 07 Malibu VTX <BR> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65921/343308.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65921/343309.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65921/343310.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65921/343311.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR> <BR>(Message edited by _jason_ on July 08, 2006)

I agree on the windshield, but other than that, looks pretty sweet!

Where's the picklefork???????????? <BR> <BR>Looks very roomy for a twenty footer. Not quite sure what's up with that windshield. Where's the center glass? Do those chome pieces serve a structural purpose, or are they just for looks? The walkthrough looks wider as well... <BR> <BR>Overall, it looks like a great boat... <BR> <BR>(Message edited by zacky on July 08, 2006) <BR> <BR>(Message edited by zacky on July 08, 2006)

There will be NO malibu pickle fork. <BR> <BR>Also check out this site for tons more 07 pics <a href="http://www.themalibucrew.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=5693&amp;st=80" target="_blank">http://www.themalibucrew.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=5693&amp;st=80</a>

I'd prefer 3 covers in the back instead of the 2. That way you aren't always opening the engine compartment. Other than that and the useless accent piece in the wind shield it looks great. I really like the Titan 3 over the Illusion towers.

Kyle, there is supposed to be a tray that covers the engine like the 247, it is supposed to be that way on all of the v-drives except for the 23 with the 8.1 as there is not enough room for the tray.

yosquire 07-09-2006 1:34 PM

I guess the tray makes sense. But it seems I'm always asking people to move so I can get into my skilockers. Bigger the door, the more people I have to ask to move.

anodyne 07-09-2006 1:49 PM

it kinda looks like the walkthrough windshield piece might be a drop-in style?? That would allow it a tighter fit with the wind-dam... <BR> <BR>I would like that. I rarely use my swingy-windshield!

tlb 07-09-2006 2:14 PM

Anyone know how much ballast it has? <BR>I like the looks of this boat.

ghostrider_2 07-09-2006 2:47 PM

does look roomy for a 20ft. <BR>windshield ...wow did MB and the BU crew have drinks together this past winter and are seeing who could make the ugliest part of a boat..??

guido 07-10-2006 11:46 AM

sick....

jon4pres 07-10-2006 11:50 AM

I like the boat and the wind sheild. <BR>Very cool boat. I would own one if I could afford it.

w8less1 07-10-2006 12:15 PM

something different but very nice lines I really like it

jaubrey 07-10-2006 2:49 PM

Nice looking but not a fan of the windshield. I like companies thinking outside the box but this doesnt sit well with me. I think malibue's current windshields are the sleekest on the market so why mess with perfection?

buluver 07-10-2006 8:28 PM

what are the specs on that?

buluver 07-10-2006 8:31 PM

how about msrp?

wakeslife 07-10-2006 9:04 PM

maybe its just me but Malibus are starting to look a bit overdone with the bling..??

_jason_ 07-11-2006 10:52 AM

I do have to admit. I like the Interior, looks pretty cool

talltigeguy 07-11-2006 12:02 PM

It seems to me that the weakest part of the seats are the seams (no pun intended). Those boat seams are just waiting to have a problem somewhere. If you put 200 feet of seams into a boat, it is bound to tear somewhere. Like UPNoRTH says: overdone with bling. <BR> <BR>I like that tower better than the Illusion. <BR> <BR>The windshield could grow on me. <BR> <BR>I have assumed that the interior pics are also from the same model as the first 2 pics? Note that it is an entirely different boat with an Illusion tower. <BR> <BR>(Message edited by talltigeguy on July 11, 2006)

Interior speaker location change is a great idea. Illusion tower provides much improved visibility. I would not buy a Malibu without it. The bimini fits perfectly on top not inside where it will hit the heads of taller people. Plus the speakers mount to the side as well, not obstructing head room for the walk through. Too much bling? Nah, just a sweet Malibu. Add a couple flat screens for Sony PS2 and some rope lights then you might be pushing it.

madchild1 07-11-2006 4:19 PM

upnorth, i think mastercraft takes the bling title. that's just my opinion and i could be wring.
