I know other's will chime in as well on this but I just don't like the X graphic on the side. Other than that I would highly consider buying an MB again. I currently have a 2000 DD.
Its a solid 3/8" think piece of cnc'd aluminum. I sure you could have it powder-coated or anodized. It think Ian at Onlyinboards.com has done it before.
One thing I just can't get used to with MB is how DEEP they are. I'm used to seeing swim platforms 6 inches under water and the bow eye scraping the surface. Then I see these MBs and they're just huge looking by comparison. I assume it's due to the ballast setup? Maybe when it's loaded it looks more "normal"?
