New BU has arrived!!!!

(ericlee) · (ericlee) **Join Date: Apr 2007** 01-22-2008, 4:15 PM

After driving 18 hours round trip and 7 Red Bulls later my new Malibu was home! It is a 2007 Wakesetter 23LSV. After the long ordeal I went through to get this boat I was not sure how the dealer would treat me when I arrived. I was treated as if I had been buying boats from them for years. They detailed the boat out and fixed a couple small things on the boat before I took it. I was shocked that they found the subwoofer was blown and replaced it with a 12" Rockford Fosgate.(original sub was 10") The whole time I was there was an incredible experience. Now comes the waiting game until it warms up. :-(

This is my absolute dream boat and I have had a smile on my face ever since I picked her up.

Boat has almost every option I would want. Possibly wanting to add spinner board racks and Wet Sounds depending on how the Titan Alphas sound. Upload

Wow Eric, you were not messin around! Is this the boat that you discussed on the other thread where the dealer went back on their word?

(ericlee) · (ericlee) **Join Date: Apr 2007** 01-22-2008, 6:32 PM

This is the boat I was having trouble buying. I think it was worth the trouble. In the end everything worked out perfect and the dealer was incredible!!!!

sorry not a fan of the graphic. nice boat besides that.

Michael,
Yes I did get it at Overboard. They are great to deal with. Brett, Jason, and Martin all know alot of information about Malibus. While my boat was being detailed out I walked around the lot and looked at almost every boat they had and they all looked outstanding. I am sure you would not be dissapointed with anything you buy there. Whch VLX are you looking at?

I was not a fan of the graphic either but I had the choice of which graphic to put on and this one just fit the boat compared to the other one.

looks nice eric..congrats! I think the graphic looks good.

(downfortheride)

Way to be bold with the colors! At least nobody will pull up next to ya and ask "Hey is that a VLX?"

(lknboarder) · (lknboarder) **Join Date: Jan 2008** 01-23-2008, 7:47 AM

Which VLX are you looking at?

I am looking at the '06 black and tan one}

I like the graphic man it is unique. You will really enjoy that boat.

Warms up? There are still leaves on the trees and I don't see a single flake of snow anywhere! Take it out for a run!

(ericlee) · (ericlee) **Join Date: Apr 2007** 01-23-2008, 9:54 AM

Is the graphic really that bad? Ya know I didnt like the graphics at first but they really grew on me. I think they are unique and I didnt really like the plain wakesetter graphic on the side. No leaves around here. High of 23 today!!!

Eric- I like the graphic I don't think it looks bad at all.

Thanks Tyler, I was trying to find your boat after I saw it a few months back. I love the pic you took from high above the boat. I think it was your purple VLX I saw.
