Mastercraft or Malibu

[zad0030]

I think I would own a Malibu.


WAIT! I already do.

Very solid, More storage compartments, and the wake is soo much better.
Better fuel economy too.

[22Veee]

I and one other Tige owner are the only ones in our group without an MC. I am impressed with the quality of the interior, tower and the quality of the regular side surf wake. However, not a one of them throws a decent goofy side surf wake. This is a problem for my goofy self.

Knowing what I know now, my next purchase (if not a Tige) will depend on the quality of the goofy side wake(among other things). If the dealer won't take me out for a demo surf ride, there will be no purchase.

Dont know If any of you noticed but Mastercraft is offering a diesel.

Hey, he's a serious slalom skier. I have to admit, he's right about the Response having a better wake for what he's doing. I don't see a lot of other tow boats used in slalom competitions.

Oh yeah, he's sponsored by BOD.

I had a chance to surf a new Supra 22ssv last year and it was very nice with stock ballast. I'm also a huge fan of the play pen bow, tower, Z5 bimini and overall looks of the boat. The only thing I don't like is the throttle position. It's way too low. That and the dealer here is asking 8+grand more for a base model 22ssv over a loaded 22Ve.

Which is the better all around boat? That is what we looked at when purchasing. How many folks use a boat for a single purpose?

Or Which boats fits yours and your familys purposes and likes / dislikes.

Mastercraft

My neighbor just got a MC X-2 and a supplemental ballast system, it throws a mad wake for hydrofoiling. Better than my tige 21v, the wake is sharper, not larger. The overall quality of the constuction is way way better. Th evinyl is twice as thick and the gauge set up is definately bling bling. Not for everyone I guess, but the thought put into the X-2 is quite noticable. The tower can even handle my sky ski with a little mod.

[majestic]

From someone who almost bought a X-15 I would probably go MC, however it is definantly not $10k better than my 22ve.

Mastercraft MS 230....Oh so quet. Next RZ2 pickle puss

What about the EPIC and MB's. Those boats are starting to catch my attention. I have now idea how much they cost or how well they are constructed. And they dont have the same cache as MC or Malibu. Does anyone have knowledge of these boats.

[ragboy]

The EPIC throws a great WB wake, but I hear horrible surf wake, that makes it no go for me.

The hoffmans have one, and I see it all the time up close, the rear speakers seemed cool on the brochure and website, but in person, I like em on the tower better.

Now having up to 4k of ballast would be cool, but not if I couldn't surf it.

[WRKTOSKI]

Its to bad Tige is coping mc dash and the malibu looks for 09, so much for Tige being special.
