Not in my lifetime...:p

[dicudmore]

me thinks that might be the trend of 2003-2004 ;)

[Coach]

By far the best looking colors you can combine. The crap that people put out in the late 80's and earlly 90's still gives me nightmares.
:D

[mbrown2]

What about Blue and Black...damn water spots..

ok, can anyone tell me what the colors of the 60's was? I think the dude that redid my boat was loving the 80's when he did it. I just want it to be what it is. :)
I was seriously thinking of an all white gel and all white seats...but it needs some color. :)

[Dr. Eagle]

As I recall he 60s and 70s had a LOT of BIG metalflake designs. All solid color or perhaps accents arount the gunnels.
Some in the 70s were god awaful brown and burnt umber color schemes...

[Mandelon]

Blue and Grey with some pinkish fleshtones thrown in.....

Teal with pink and gray stripes. It was one of the first generations
with that paint scheme.
I actually I didn't want that color combo, but to get what I wanted
I would have had to wait to have the boat custom built.
I didn't want to wait. Had to have that ski boat. NOW.:D

[Dan Lorenze]

My boat is Blue and Silver Sparlke with some wood laminates ..:yuk: While it's outdate, old river dudes like it...

[spute]

Looks great- glad to see you bought a Malibu. Can't go wrong with that--we're at 850ish + hours and still going strong.
Hardcore-Ski- love the Malibu. How many hours you got on that thing?
Here's ours...teal and gray. Nothing wrong with this classic 90's combo :D

Damn. I have less than 300 hrs. That's mostly because where I
do most of my boating/skiing is 25 minutes from the beach where
I anchor. So I don't do alot of driving. I hit the beach, party and
ski.
You can only ski so much. Which isn't much unless your HARDCORE:rolleyes:
My Malibu is a 1995. It's the first year of the new hull design.
I snag it up in Feb 1995. Fresh off the show room.
It's been solid as a rock ever since.

Thats sweet--ours is a 1995 also, and we picked it up in Jan of 96, once the newly designed logo was introduced. We couldn't pass it up- we got a steal. I love it, and any other ski boat I ever buy will be a Malibu. Its a great boat, and still my favorite to ride behind and ski.

Everytime I ski behind my boat I can't believe how nice it is.
I paid 18,900 for mine brand new.
Go try and buy one today and see how much they are.:eek:
They haven't change that much either. Except the power plant.
I figure I don't need 400hp to go 50mph.
I'll just hold on to mine.:)

[roln 20s]

Yep...I know what you are saying. I think we paid right at 20K for ours, listed at 28ish. Equivalent boat today- Malibu Response LXI- high 30s, low 40s :eek!: We'll (I mean my dad) will keep this, and I'll buy myself a Howard :D Best of both worlds!
Roln 20s <--happy skiing Malibu buddy
