I agree on the windshield, but other than that, looks pretty sweet!

Where's the picklefork????????????

Looks very roomy for a twenty footer. Not quite sure what's up with that windshield. Where's the center glass? Do those chome pieces serve a structural purpose, or are they just for looks? The walkthrough looks wider as well...

Overall, it looks like a great boat...

I'd prefer 3 covers in the back instead of the 2. That way you aren't always opening the engine compartment. Other than that and the useless accent piece in the wind shield it looks great. I really like the Titan 3 over the Illusion towers.

Kyle, there is supposed to be a tray that covers the engine like the 247, it is supposed to be that way on all of the v-drives except for the 23 with the 8.1 as there is not enough room for the tray.

I guess the tray makes sense. But it seems I'm always asking people to move so I can get into my skilockers. Bigger the door, the more people I have to ask to move.

it kinda looks like the walkthrough windshield piece might be a drop-in style?? That would allow it a tighter fit with the wind-dam...

I would like that. I rarely use my swingy-windshield!

Anyone know how much ballast it has?
I like the looks of this boat.

I like the boat and the wind sheild.
Very cool boat. I would own one if I could afford it.

Nice looking but not a fan of the windshield. I like companies thinking outside the box but this doesnt sit well with me. I think malibue's current windshields are the sleekest on the market so why mess with perfection?

I do have to admit. I like the Interior, looks pretty cool

It seems to me that the weakest part of the seats are the seams (no pun intended). Those boat seams are just waiting to have a problem somewhere. If you put 200 feet of seams into a boat, it is bound to tear somewhere. Like UPNoRTH says: overdone with bling.

I like that tower better than the Illusion.

The windshield could grow on me.

I have assumed that the interior pics are also from the same model as the first 2 pics? Note that it is an entirely different boat with an Illusion tower.

Interior speaker location change is a great idea. Illusion tower provides much improved visibility. I would not buy a Malibu without it. The bimini fits perfectly on top not inside where it will hit the heads of taller people. Plus the speakers mount to the side as well, not obstructing head room for the walk through. Too much bling? Nah, just a sweet Malibu. Add a couple flat screens for Sony PS2 and some rope lights then you might be pushing it.
