Along the "Bling" line, any opinions on the 09 Corvette by Malibu? 
Personally, I think the tail lights look kind of goofy, though I never was a fan of the latest generation of the Vette. |

Gaudy as heck and no where near, not even close, as nice as the CCF Boat. Hot engine though. It's got a dry sump with an external oil tank. Who thought of that? |

The Hammerhead is a 383 stroker. The Z06 is the engine with the dry sump. Dangest thing I ever heard of.

There is one of these on our lake.They guy that owns it has 3 Malibus.An earlier style(DD)corvette boat,a 2007 LSV wakeboat,and this new one. Nice engine compartment, interior is ok, stereo is sick, it will pass my 210 like it's parked, and is most definately the UGLIEST hull I've seen on a ski(?) boat.Looks worse on the water than on the trailer,if you can believe it.Total failure IMO,and I like Vettes.The old DD version is waaaaay better looking.

Can't say I don't like it but I probably wouldn't own one. The shape reminds of an older I/O checkmate which I always thought were typical run of the mill crap.
I guess if you have 3 boats one of them might as well be just for screaming around because I couldn't see it as a practical ski boat. Once again to each his own. |

Not practial for me either. I think they built these for the boat collecter not the skiers.
I liked the older DD version much better. 
I do like black tho, except for cleaning. |

I figure the owner of Malibu is a Corvette guy. It is good advertising though. The one they had at the Boston boat show last year really drew crowds.
Alan, I'd rather go 60 in your boat than that thing. If I were going to spend 100k to go fast, it would be faster than 60. |

Bruce,
Pretty sure the one on our lake is the boat that was at the Boston show. At least that is the assumption that the owner had. I agree with Alan,to each his own.It just looks really bland on the water.I think the black is sharper looking. Obviously the guy wasn't concerned about the price. Maybe if I had that kind of expendable cash I would feel differently.At more than twice what I paid for my SAN,I just don't see the value. For that price,it should come with a working convertible top . There is an older version green(DD) on our lake also,that this guy used to own......obviously a big Malibu & Corvette fan.He also owns a nice Donzi.

Mike, the boat show price was only $100k. That was with the boat show discount of $25k. The stereo is nice. At the show, I know the guy that had the display right across the aisle from it, and everytime the Malibus guys cranked up the stereo, he couldn't talk to his customers. He was getting PO'd.
The DD version is much nicer, but still a little too much bling for me, although the chrome underwater gear is pretty nice. I think the Corvette boat is pretty representative of their whole line up now. In the early 2000's, I think they were making great looking boats. Now they're just gaudy and overdone. |
