I think that is a major contributor to the soft wake (slower turning prop for the same speed).

An item of note on Nautiques is they always use a 1.23:1 gear reduction, then prop accordingly (13X16). Also didn't like how the rear seat back had to be raised and then pull equipment forward into the boat. Didn't like the graphics or the color choices. I'd have to put traction strips on it if I'd bought it. It was all I could do to keep from sliding off and I considered it downright dangerous. It sloped so much that trying to sit on it with a dry suit (admittedly slick) was not just difficult, but hazardous. I don't like the right hand prop rotation - pulling away from a dock in reverse. However, there were a few things I didn't like. That stuff they put on the inside of the hull seems to pay off. The boat felt and sounded extremely solid when underway. Against expectation, it was very easy to read even in direct sunlight. Loved the digital dash, including several different ways to monitor speed. Unquestionably the Nautique's wake had become world-class. I demoed the 2000 models in October 1999 in smooth and rough water. However, I will concede that probably any tournament boat produced today is damn good compared to the '80's when there was huge differences between brands. This time I wasn't going to scrimp on quality of construction or wake to save money. But, with Mastercraft off my short list of candidates (at that time they still had the hull that during AWSA testing lost control and ran up on the shore), I only had two left, Malibu and Nautique. All along, I'd considered Malibu, Mastercraft, and Nautique as the best in the industry. The fall '99 I thought I was finally ready to replace the Malibu Skier. It was a true work horse, requiring nearly no maintenance and willingly giving year after year of skiing fun. While I later wished I'd spent the extra bucks, the Malibu Skier served me faithfully and well for the thirteen years I owned it, all at very low cost. I did, however, demo a MasterCraft, but was unwilling to pay the three grand(!) premium over the Malibu even though the wake was clearly better. At that time I didn't demo a Nautique because of its well deserved reputation for having too high of a wake. Hopefully this information will be useful to some folks, particularly those looking at the older Malibu LS1 powered boats.īack in 1987 I bought my first ski boat, a Malibu Skier for a mere thirteen grand brand new. See our other boats including Calabria, Centurion, Lewis, Mastercraft, MB Sports, Moomba, Nautique, Sanger, Skicraft, Supra & Tige.It is hard to believe it is nearly ten years from when I bought the LS1 powered Malibu and began a webpage dedicated to it.

It provided better top-end speed, handling, slalom wakes and with the Wedge, it enabled the intermediate to advanced rider to be totally satisfied. If you find it comforting having a boat that is extremely fast, exceptionally classy, yet capable of outstanding wakeboarding and solid slalom performance, then the Sunsetter VLX is the obvious choice.įor 2001 this VLX model, at the time, had the new Diamond hull. It runs on the SV 23 Diamond Hull, the same hull that carried the Response to world records. If you can somehow overlook the superior craftsmanship and all Malibus topside amenities, youll discover that Malibu is pursuing water-sports excellence with this boat. Powered by the multi-port, fuel-injected Monsoon 325hp, the Sunsetter VLX is another big-time Malibu winner. ** TWO (2) YEARS WARRANTY ** Only 267 hrs of FRESHWATER use **ĥ.7L V8 350ci MPI Indmar Monsoon engine with V-drive
