Great looking boat. The only thing I would change would be parking like that and loading/unloading while blocking the handicap spaces. A buddy of mine got a nice fat ticket recently by doing the same exact thing.

Bigger pumps and lines. 2011 and prior used 800 gph pumps and 3/4" line. Starting in 2012 they use 1100 gph pumps and 1" lines for everything. Total time going from empty to all 1250lbs full was right around 3 minutes when I timed it. It's also nice you can save presets with the 4 individual tanks set to only 25%, 50%, or 75% full as desired. Just hit the button and the automated system does it. This is great for my wife since she doesn't like to ride with the ballast all full yet.
Loving the Exiles and the Harpoon amp too!

So damn sexy... just love the profile of the VLX.
I have only had mine out once (crappy Portland weather + youth baseball are killing me). But I also noticed how fast the new pumps/lines fill the tanks. Very pleasent surprise as this is my first boat with a pump system.
Enjoy! Looking forward to more pics.

You shouldve got a mastercraft, it's heavier.
Kidding!!!
Sweet boat, sweet wake, nice riding. Where do you have the wedge at? It looks a lot like the TIGE wake to me...(flame away if you'd like)

Wedge is all the way down in those pics keeping the lip pretty mellow. The good riders are unfortunately not me.

What mounts did you get for your exiles? Hate how low my tower speakers are, and i can only find the mount for two speakers to get them higher on my tower.

The Exile single adaptors only mount them about halfway up the tower. I had those at first and there is no way to move them up higher. Now I am using the dual speaker mounts and only using the upper mounting spots, this puts them up in the top corners and makes a big difference for clearance.

wish my VLX fit in my garage.
the profile of the malib is the best - looks like a fighter jet. Looks like an inboard should look - lean, mean, and sexy.

Brett, did you know you can easily run FOUR XM9's off that Harpoon amp? That's the setup I went with on my new VLX and it's super loud and clean. Easy upgrade for you too since you have the correct brackets.
What's the rest of your system like?

Make sure and put people in the back seat that don't pay for gas.....ouch, my ears are ringing already! 4 would definitely punish someone sitting back there

Brett, Congrats on your vlx, I am a little biased but the vlx is a damn good looking boat. The G3 tower, lines and flow of the hull are amazing! We have been enjoying ours, my favorite part of the boat is the quad ballast and user friendly wake for all levels of riders at different speeds.
30 hours already! I'm jealous, but glad you are out putting hours on it! Have a great summer with your family and friends on it....
