Mastercraft and Malibu in trouble?

[Hollywood]

It is much easier getting to the platform from inside the boat. This is a big deal as many skiers (myself included) are getting old and stepping over the rear storage was/is a pain in the hips, especially for old jumpers.

Are you pulling the Banana George's of jumpers?

Sit on the trunk and spin around. I'd sacrifice vinyl for my hips anyday. Actually, serious jumpers are never in the boat anyways or am I reading this wrong and you guys are slaloming but worn out from previous jumping? If so, go back to the sit and spin...

Sit and spin

I just had to do it. The original "SIT and SPIN"

Maybe we could mount this on the rear trunk to make it easier. We can call it the 196 "Jumpers Edition"

#4 is the best of all, IMO so I'll state it separately. This boat skis great long line slow speeds!!! This matters because many times a dealer has lost a sale of a 206 because the wife couldn't ski behind it. Lets face it, pretty much all the boats are great at comp speeds and 28 off or shorter so when the guy is trying to talk his wife into buying a ski boat the final say will come down to which boat SHE likes to ski behind or will ski behind. It doesn't matter if she is never going to ski after the test drive, if she doesn't like the way it skis it is going to be tough getting the boat. Women absolutely love skiing behind this boat!

Note to self: Make wife ski at 28 off next time!

:grin: That's a good point. My wife and a buddy's wife both free ski 15 off at 30 MPH and neither has any problems with his SNOB or my 206 wake. Still, we may get them to free ski at 28 off next season and see how they like it.

Great, they built a boat that rocks at long-line! I apologize for being a wise *ss, it just sounds funny Yellow_Flash_Colorz:

Perhaps a better comparison is a 1968 Camaro and a 2009 Camaro. $4000 in 68 $30000 in 09?

Don't think $4k. My FIL paid $2,420 for a 1968 SS coupe (Z27). He said he thinks that the the most expensive Camaro when he bought his was about $3,400 for an RS Z28. "It was the RS or college, I chose college."

Was in the MC store over the weekend to check the sale prices on drysuits. They were asking 90K for a new X-2. When I heard that I didn't bother asking the price on the X-45.

That may have been sticker price, but you'd be able to buy one in the low $60's.
