speakers are not going to be through malibu..or Kicker..they will be done by dealer aftermarket brand ARC audio components from lightingaccessories.com..I heard them at the dealer and they sound and look good to me

that is good to hear...i thought they sounded pretty good in the shop. Do you think its worth getting the 4 tower speakers vs just 2. 54-55k....good/bad price?

I went with the 4 tower component speakers. 4 component interior speakers. 2 - 1000 watt amps and a 12" sub and the system is unbelievable. It is better than I hoped for. Hope that helps.

Go for 20% off retail, 15% minimum. In the recreational vehicle industry, the dealer cost is roughly 30% below retail. I have found the boat bizz to be the same.

all the malibu fans on this site and so few opinions. when you say retail is that the same is MSRP 47,900. Also i think that price does not include the trailer for Malibu or obviously any options.

even if they are getting a 30% markup asking 20% off is a alot. i mean dealers have to make money. i know none of you work for free. if you can get 20% off then great, but i also thinking getting 10-15% is still good.

retail would be MSRP of the base boat + MSRP of all the options you add. with the options you stated MSRP should be around 58-60k...you should be able to get 6-8k off of that pretty easily. also, the $47,900 does include a trailer. and, like someone mentioned earlier, don't buy the boat without bow ballast. it is essential on the vlx.

54 OTD? if so, that's really good. i still say you'll regret not getting bow ballast
