Hey Todd, yes my boat has arrived!

[Fman]

Not Taking anything away from the Malibu Wakesetter as they are a top quality boat, but a good mate of mine that I regularly ride with just took delivery of his 2011 VLX last month, and although it is avery impressive boat in all areas, myself and all my crew still prefer the seating layout and configuration of my 22SSV

Do you have the rear facing seat? Thats funny because I purposely wanted to get a boat that DID NOT have it. For us, it just takes up a lot of room in the center of the boat, but everyone has there preference... the VLX is 10" shorter than the 22SSV but IMO feels larger inside the boat because of the wrap around seating. For me, I wanted the open feel of the wrap around seating.

Go out and ride behind his VLX, if he got the quad-ballast(1250 lb hard tank)and power wedge the wake is rediculuosly nice with no extra bags.... I was really impressed when I demo'd the boat.

Thats a sweet looking VLX.

Something about that trailer looks funny, doofus, can't put my finger on it though

I think its an Aussie made trailer, does anyone know what brand it is? Definitely looks heavy duty by the rear step bracing in the rear of the trailer.

Travis, congrats again...very nice and classy looking. Still mad at you that you bailed, since we had the same boat!!
Have a great season on her!!

It is an Aussie made trailer manufactured by a company called Easy Tow.

Yeah, my 22SSV has the rear facing seat, and that is what we all like about the layout & configuration over the VLX.

We had a few people in his VLX the other week and quite a few of them in the boat had to sit sideways to see the action out the back.

My mate's VLX has power wedge and 500kg inbuilt ballast, but we both reckon the Supra wake is steeper than the malibu's

Fman thanks for the boat porn

I'm assuming to took delivery of the boat without any stereo upgrades so you can build it out how you want?? can't wait to see it in a month or so!!

Have not spent much time in the boat, only a demo for a couple hours. Hoping this weekend to get out for a few hours with the family. I was impressed with the wake for how clean it was at all different speeds. Looked pretty good to me, but I guess everyone has there favorites. I could never get my 22 SSV wake cleaned up on the port side without going 24+ mph which is much faster than I like to ride. Maybe it was a user error on my part.

If you play with the wedge, it will ramp up the wake quite a bit.

Regardless, sounds like you have two great boats to go out on.

Month? I should be picking up the boat tomorrow from the stereo shop! It went right from the dealer to Ben at ACME tunes. I went with PRO 80's on the tower, and some ARC Audio amps, WS 12" sub, WS-420, and the HSE. Hopefully it turns out nice, Ben does a really nice job on the installs... he did some work for me on my Supra.

I will post up some pics when I get it back.
