Got out to ski tonite again behind the malibu. This time there were four of us. Extreme difference in the tracking, the sportster didnt move an inch either way while going down the course. I was taken back by how much more easy the boat drove with the extra weight.

it was unbiased and not affiliated with manufacturers, they use the 630 and 450 in 30 footers, dollar for dollar i always spend more on parts for the pcm transmission than any other trans, when they break they break and alot of times its cheaper to buy new when they do break.
I gues i look at it from a rebuilders point of view, i have a shelf full of pcm's, mostly a graveyard and the main reason is they absolutely cannot handle water inside them for extended periods. i see the other 95% out there....the ones that know absolutely nothing about boats or there workings |

Jodi, that's considerably less than a same year CC would go for isn't it? My guess is Nautique owns the FLA market. In New England it is Malibu by far. I'd say the way they distribute and market them has more to do with it than percieved quality or performance.
I like a Velvet Drive better than Hurths or a PCM. Those Hurths are noisey. |

Could be the dealer too Bruce. Although I have never dealt with either, I hear more good about East Coast Flightcraft than I do NECC, unfortunately. (I stopped in ECFC one day a year or so ago to kill some time, and your name came up pretty quickly as a Malibu guy (that also happens to own a vintage CC...before you had the Classic) With Jody talking about the 98 Response (one of the better looking boats out there, in my mind) I took a look at the ECFC site to see if they had any. They dont. Just a bunch of newer wake boats that look like tanks to me. I just wouldnt care to have so much boat. They did have the old FC advertised too. This is from when Malibu first bought FC and just slapped their name on the old FC hull. I really liked the original FCs, lean and low. Wouldnt you think they would at least wash the scum off this to sell it, even if it is a consignment. |

Larry, ECFC does a good job with both the sales and the warranty. The guy you talked to, Keith Murphy is a great guy. If he was selling Correct Crafts in '03, no doubt my '03 would be a SN. He tried selling Correct Crafts in Maine before Malibus and it didn't work out. He had a boat just like Tim's 90 at the Cumberland County CC one year.
I don't know why they'd post that picture of a dirty boat. Unless it was a private sale, it did not go out the door like that. Larry, when are you going to sign up for LG? |

We are half planning on coming, Bruce, just not in a postion to commit right now. If we do make it, it will have to be a last minute decision. If you do go up to Orono, it sounds like we might be on a similar schedule. I am guessing I might be going by Worcester about 4-5 PM. Is that close to your schedule? Also sounded like harddock might be on the Friday PM schedule too. |

I'll be getting back to Portland around 3:00, so in that case we won't get there until 8:00 PM, unless he can get out earlier. This year, I think I'll go through Lebanon, NH, and not Mass, but I've got to look into that. It's 5 hours going through Worcester, maybe a little less going up 93/89. I hope you and Thomas can make it.
