Damn, I had almost forgotten about the Pink Poodle in San Jose. Back in 1988-1990 we used to take customer's there while we were in town benchmarking (I used to be a salesman at Amdahl). My customer's from Houston had some great times at the Poodle.

good to hear we have some people that have fequented the gentalman's club's But this Pink Poodle was a bit shy. We went to the Malibu factory to see clayls new ride and the Pink Poodle was
M.I.A Yup it had not been made yet. We were told it was sprayed and was having the interior installed and that today we could get a first look @ it. So we did the factory tour with the Idea we were gonna get to see the Pink Poodle. We were walking around the factory snapping pic's like Japanese tourist's. I was wondering if it was ok for us to take pic's. But our guide never said no pic's except when we wanted to take pic's of the new 24.7 . when our guide told Clay his boat had not been sprayed I felt pretty bad 4 him. He was pretty bumed. So the rest of the tour we walked around with our heads down. I noticed that 99.9% of 291 male employes had no shame in giving Ashlee the look over. So if you wanna bring your wife or girlfriend to the factory I say dress her in a Berka. LOL. Ill post some pic's when I get home

I used to prefer the kit kat in Sunnyvale but gave it up years ago.

To bad about the boat not being ready for a look over .

Clay, bummer about not being able to see the boat. On the brighter side, great job with the pictures. Thanks to Grant for taking the time to add a narrative. Awesome to see how much work goes into putting a boat together. Sound Illusions web site looks good too.

Grant / Clay,

Very cool to get the tour & lookover of the plant... thnx for the pics

Question / Concern - How is it that you are told your boat has been molded, sprayed & interior is being installed - yet it hasn't even been started? In one sense you have to be thankfull for the tour but on the other hand I'd be a lil bent.... If interior was being installed it would have been ready shortly but looks like your still many weeks away? Did you talk to your sales rep - any 411?

Lzy

That was cool! Nice pics Grant and the narrative was good too. I would not worry much about the timeline. I think they pad the time it takes to build a boat by a lot. My friends X2 was done way-y-y-y ahead of schedule. Sucks when they tell you it's being done and you make the trip though.

The best things in life are PINK!!!
Are you going to name the boat the Pink Poodle??
It would be cool to have stickers that say that like the Bling Bling..
I'm going to order the epic all Pink

I would love the black and pink Malibu. Only thing is, you GOTTA be able to throw down to be able to pull this off.

I would laugh so hard seeing some ramrod with this boat who could hardly jump the wake.

No, you don't need to be able to throw down at all, You just gotta have a HOT, HOT, HOT wife/girlfriend, or both, in the boat at all times. Preferably driving a double up.... wearing a matching bikini.........and sipping on a dirty martini.
Old     (snyper1d)      Join Date: Mar 2005       04-21-2006, 10:54 AM Reply   
Haha, I think with a boat like that you should have your girlfriend/wife and then all of her friends. With a boat like that, you have to have multiple sets of bikini's.

Clay is able to pull this off with the pink boat because " he is da man" and besides Ashley is plenty hot enough to be rolling with him.

Don't be a hater cause it's pink give him props for pulling the trigger on it and having nuts the size of a 2000 lb bull!

The owner, of the boat above, rips it up ,and his wife is easy definately on the eyes.

That boat is sick, esp w/ the 8.1L in it

As far as being the style right now, he gets a new one every year. So he doesn't have to worry about it going out of style. He's already got offers to take it off his hands when he's done with it.

Clay-thats the same color combo VLX I test drove and trust me- In person it looks BAD ASS!!!! Every person that walked into the showroom immediatly migrated to it to oogle over it. You'll get the looks for sure. Did Malibu say how far behind from the weather they were ? I know my boat was due 2 weeks ago and I havent gotten the final production pics yet.

Wow, all the hatin just cuz a guy picked a black boat with pink accents... I thought this was a free country! I wanted a teal boat but they only had a red MC available! LOL

As of yesterday it was suppose to be sprayed today, and glassed, and glassed some more today or tommorrow. This means that the boat will be done at the factory by next weekend. Our tour guide said it takes about one week to go through the factory. After that week I dont know how long it sits at the factory until it gets delivered. I should be getting some pictures of the process sent to me, so Ill post the pictures as I get them.

If I get pink swim turnks can I ride behing it Clay? I promise to bring some chikas!

I think there will be a nationwide shortage of pink LED across the country in May!

That boat will be righteous. Definitely a unique ride in a sea of lookalikes. I dig the pink, myself.

Pink Panther is better than Pink Poodle.

The Vandal had a Nauti a few years back that was all black with a pink accent stripe and a pink tower, I thought it was an awesome ride, as was said before you have to back it up with your riding in a boat that stands out, I think Randy had that part covered. Seems like he called it the Pink Pirate. Congrats on the boat, it should be one of the nicest around once you guys get through with it.

Atlanta Inboard had a Malibu at the Atlanta Show that looked identical to Clay's. Most people were kind of skeptical. I thought it looked awesome. I get tired of white. Nice color choice Clay. Grant goahead and order you new Nauty with black and pink and there ya go. The offical boats of Sound Illusions.

I'll bet after they get done rigging up that Sony Xplod stereo, it's going to sound awesome -- You'll never have a need to upgrade.

So how badly do you want to break into the factory and run all your wires while it's wide open like that??? Maybe you can pay off a weekend security guard to let you in with a wagon full of wires.

I have underfloor ballast envy, very cool.

Alright I got some of the interior pics yesterday, and I was affraid that the pink on the inside wasnt going to look that great, it at least it didnt on the website. So I went with pink piping and was still worried about it. After seeing the pictures I think it is just right, not to much, but there.

Hey Clay,
