I've been a Malibu guy for a long time, worked with the local dealer on tons of demos and shown the rear facing seats a lot. The rear facing seats only work in the biggest boats, IMO. Anything smaller than a 24-25ft boat and it gets crowded fast. They are a lot of fun for party time surf sessions, but in general you are crowding too much weight toward the rear considering people are already sitting on the back seats and sun-deck.
I don't order it on my boats because I won't use it, but I might on my next one because everyone thinks they want it. So I assume there are some fans of it out there.
