J-Ro, 'bout time!

Congrats! Looks much better than the banana pudding nose VTX.

DRAGON88, Yeah except it gets hotter than hell. May end up getting a white VLX down the line.

I ride behind one of those, absolutely the best wake boat.

Congrats!

Brent87LT1, Yeah, tough on my arse and thighs when it's hotter than 85 degrees. Love the look, hate the burns.

J-Ro, Drape a towel over that baby when sitting off the back.......SISSY

Brent87LT1, The entire interior bakes so I just stand up all the time like a Wally.

J-Ro, how much harder is it keeping from seeing the water spots versus a lighter color?

the 23 is an awesome boat..hope you enjoy yours as much as i did mine.

Okie Boarder, Just spray it with a vinegar/water mix when you pull it and wipe it down. It's no worse than anything else except white.

J-Ro, very nice looking boat.

I have a friend that has one almost exactly like it.

does it have a black hull, or is it white bottom?

if it's black, then it's pretty much the same except a year newer.

very nice love bu's

My VLX had an all black hull. In retrospect, I'd prefer to have a white bottom. The bunks leave scratches on it big time when it slides on and off from road grime and sand from the water.

I'm pretty sure J-Ro's has a white bottom. I have a pic of it around here somewhere.

Okie Boarder, yup....V/W will take the wax off.

I met a guy at the ramp who used to mix vinegar with Babes Boat Bright last year. His ride was pretty clean looking. It might be worth a try.

Okie Boarder · Ladies Man Joined: 03 Mar 2008 Posts: 10056 City: Edmond

Hmmm, I think I'll stick with the Meguiar's or Babes. Interesting thought about mixing the V/W and Babes, though.

Last year I just wiped the boat down with damp towels when I pulled it out. This year I'm using the Meguiar's and microfiber. So far, no water spot problems Mr. Green

Malibu is one of my top boat choices when I go to a wakeboat. I'm looking to get something several years old like the VTX, VLX or the 23LSV. The other option I'm looking at is the v-Ride, brand new. I want to stay in the $30-45k range.

Okie Boarder, a bit of fyi for you....

for 09' the v-ride is gonna be very very nice. Wink

some pretty great changes in store for that boat.

Okie Boarder · Ladies Man Joined: 03 Mar 2008 Posts: 10056 City: Edmond

Cool, thanks for the info. I've looked at the v-Ride quite a bit and it is one of my favorites for the $40-45k range, new.

Go to TMC, they have pics of the new V-Ride (08 VLX). Not a fan of the interior design of the new V-Ride 21 and 23 but its a great deal. Although it may F-up my resale value.

I wax the boat every couple months so the stripping doesn't bother me. One thing I like is that the V/W mix takes the dried water spots right off. Plus if you run out of it you can just pee on the boat.

K-dub, Its white on the bottom with a grey stripe in the rear.

J-Ro,

J-Ro, ahhhh....didn't see the grey.

My friend's boat is solid black, except white on top of the gunnels.

that new 23 V-Ride is going to be a good seller......that is, if the economy and gas prices start to cooperate. Rolling Eyes

J-Ro, congrats on the new boat! It's one of my favorites.

Looks really hot Laughing

Yeah, J-Ro, I'm sure you'll be fine...

Have you considered getting some seat covers? http://primalmp.com/

J-Ro · Posted: Jun 26, 2008 2:15 pm Post subject:

scott a, Always thought those were dumb but now that I think about it, I may get one for just the starboard rear seat where people always step. I put a towel down all the time and that may work better.

scott a · Ladies Man Joined: 13 Jan 2003 Posts: 9810

Yeah, I'm not really a huge fan of how they look, but as far as functionality they seem to work great. One of the boats at the Delta Wakeboard Camp has (or had) them.
