2009 Malibu Boats Website is up

http://malibuboats.com/

sick dude, thanks!

It's good its up, but it is still the most uninformative, unatractive, and hardest to use.

does anybody know what the passenger power seat option is?

You can Get Dual Captains chairs in any Malibu V-Drive, The Power Seat is an option on top of an option

thanks Larzon
but what does it power
back and forth
up and down
swivel

sorry if it should be obvious to me
I just can't seem to grasp a power seat on a boat

I am with duck guy.

I'd say 5.5 out of 10. They make a good looking boat, just not a very attractive or functional website.

Mastercraft and Tige definitely earn the top spots. Nautique is upping the game too.

Compared to some of their other years this site design and functionality is lame.

Well if they poured all their money into their website, you all would accuse them of rolling that money into the price of their boats.

does build your boat work for you guys?

I have built web sites, it takes time. Im sure they are not done with it.

Twitch-

I have never in the past like 5 years been able to build a boat on malibu's website and this still remains true for the new and improved version

it won't work for a while. They have a 3D modeler that has to get them all the drawings. This is the case each year and will usually be fixed in a month or so.
You can email them and they can make the pic for you if you want.

It would be nice if they had more information or had more variety of pictures. I could care less about flash or frames, but detail shots of exterior, interior, and storage would be nice for all boat manufacturers. I guess the lack of info would make you have to visit your dealer to fill in the blanks...

I would say don't put up a site if it's not ready to go. It looks bad. Of course the VLX design a boat does not work. I am a MC guy and this does not reflect well. Malibu get it together!

The Malibu website is extremely poor. I expect more content and a better "rich" site from this boat manufacturer. It looks as though a cousin of an employee developed the site. The iSpec is NOT intuitive and is hard to navigate, the factory tour is lamo, the specs given per each boat total FOUR, and the content is not compelling.

I understand that they are trying to reach into the Web 2.0 sphere with all of their links to mySpace, Facebook, etc. But man, anyone can invite friends and set up a cheezy space. I figure they have to be low on cash as they use YouTube.com for ALL of their videos...why not just go out and puchase a video player and play your own videos and link out? Oh yeah, this is even better, you need to go to Flickr to see all of the ghey Tom "the Malibu" King photography. Nothing special at all..same old Tom crap he has taken from year, to year, to year- Let's all go to Flikr - yahooo! And, anytime I want to view a picture from their Factory Tour, it opens up in another window - I mean come on!

I am not impressed at all. As a consumer and potential new boat buyer, I want relevant content and information...not link outside the Malibu site to get information and be passed around from one website to another. In fact, I went to their YouTube.com to watch a video and found a BUNCH of other offensive crap that I would'nt want to be on at work, let alone have one of my kids peak over my shoulder at home to spy.

Yes friends, this is the worst new launch of a website i have seen in a while.

so let me get this straight, you don't like the new site?

At least the new boats look awesome.

Jilly- A+

Most of the time when the site first get up dated it takes a while for all the options to the site to be accessible or work properly.

Relax it is just a website. You can't expect Malibu to make the best boats on the planet and have the best website too.

Jilly what are you even talking about? Video players, You tube, Tom the Video King, my Space, Facebook ....Blah Blah Blah.

I must say I was not that impressed with the site, but I would still buy a Malibu over a Brand X boat regardless.

Yeah, I can see where they are heading, and that is good, but this site is not ready.

1. Don't put it up into production if its not ready. This is why you have a development environment.

2. Get an awesome design, that's flexible. You don't have to redo the entire site every year.

worked for me, although Tige's site still the best.they do offer a lot of colors including some for the bass pros

Jilly is also a biased MC owner.

Malibu boats still rule!

Looks like someone has crayon issues.
