Thats really nice. What kind of tower is that? The new illusion SX?

No, that's only available on the 23's and 247 this year. It's the same Illusion as last year.
Thanks for the comment.

Looks like the "Transformers" logo in the middle of the Wakesetter graphics...

Very nice! I was just on the Malibu site checking thing out and I ran into this picture. It took a bit the the new logo is growing on me. Very nice boats...

that tower looks pretty slender, it also looks like it is a bit taller for head height?

(want2ridealot)

That is because it is on a 25 foot boat

Love the boat I like the polished throttle, lcd switches and the remote setup. Nive color combo.

Did you get the swivel racks? If so do you like them? Post some pics of those things in action

Thanks all! I never know if I did a good job with the colors until I actually see it outside. It's hard to tell under the lights of the plant.

I got the Metcraft swing-away racks. The new ones with the big base plate are cool! I like the look of the Titans, but they swing in way too easy by themselves in rough water.

Nice boat I like the new graphics.

I kinda like the sharp cutouts of the new tower but the other one just fits the boat perfectly. I like the original illusion.

(faceplanter69)

they new boats look very clean for sure. Looks great

Did they get rid of the tribal crap all the way down the side of the boat for good?

I would like Malibu to come up with something a little more unique for the gelcoat though. I can always tell a new MC from a long ways away, all the other boats look identical until you get close enough to see the model. Can't Malibu come up with something like that?

I would love to see Malibu produce a pickle fork design!

paul mastercrafts are so unique aren't they. solid color til you get to the back where it looks like cheap spray painted x's on it.

This is on topic of the thread but off topic of where this thread has gone. Anyway, how does an 04 and earlier VLX wake compare to the newer VLX?
