  1. @MISkier, With the cold temps. ( BI -43 ), bad water conditions and being on a tight schedule, I just grabbed the first available boat, (16 TXI).

     

    A number of skiers there mentioned how soft the wakes were compared to previous models. With one quick pass up and down the lake after a month off in poor conditions, I not sure how they can make that claim, I know I couldn't, ( but hopping it's true).

     

    After looking at the 17 in person it going to take a while to get used to looks. Back looks like a N autique with the front of a MC. Fit and finish are normal Malibu quality. The dash with analog gauges and the color patterns on the hull will take some time to get use to. Other then the looks it should make a great club boat.

     

     

  2. I'm not a fan of the PP gauge replacing the tach. I like to look at an analog tach also and they don't match the other gauges to well.

    I went with having both. Left the tack gauge on the dash board, (maybe a little OCD about the symmetry and mounted an external display down by the drivers cup holder.

  3. Had both of my exhaust manifolds welded, not a big problem. Just find someone in your area that does aluminum welding. Have the casting plugs ground down and welded over. I bought some new plugs from Indamar, about $1.50 each, welder I used didn't need them.
  4. @MISkier Second year on the Eagle and loving it. The fit is great, not a lot of extra material.. Getting the suit over your head is a little difficult with the front zip, but you can zip it up or down by yourself.

    I looked at Silver Spray's site and didn't see anything, would have been the perfect day to hit both.
