2012 Malibu 23LSV VS. MC X-30 w/ Build Pics

You guys are unbelievable. I never once said that Malibus fall apart. I never said that the VLX is unchanged in 10 years. I never talked about hull thickness. I never used any sales tactics. Only my observations through working on or riding behind all of the different manufacturer's boats over the past 15 years.

IXFE, I expect better out of you man. Did I try to sell you an MC when you called me last Spring for advice? Did I give you some silly sales pitch? No and No. I recommended that you stick with MB.

I do not use negative sales tactics. Believe me, I could, you would not believe the encyclopedia of pictures of MAJOR warranty issues that I have collected over the years. I do not, because I have chosen the be in the boat business as a lifelong career and I enjoy almost every minute of it. I had no idea 2 years ago that I would be selling MC's, but I am glad I am right now because they make a great boat.

If you have a ton of pictures of warranty issues I'm sure you could use that same book against MC if so desired. Just like cars Boats can come off the line bad, no matter what line it is

Alan, maybe you should read your posts????

"The VLX is an awesome boat, but when Malibu and their dealers expect to sell them for $70-$80k without any major improvements over 7 years other than some fancy dash work and a power wedge, I feel like it should be mentioned."
