2017 G's

[pSchwade]

On a serious note....

I'd like to see dual alternators

a dedicated anchor wet storage space in the bow

and a quick 30second 1-2 knob winterization. Ridiculous it takes $3-500 and 4-6 weeks to do winterization. We need PCM to innovate here to get this done.

I really don't get why dual alternators haven't made the transition to wake boats yet... it makes things so easy - use your normal alternator for the starting battery and a huge alternator for your aux battery bank. no more switches/nobs/isolators/combiners to deal with.

it would also be nice to see some sort of recirculator to heat up the ballast tanks for a decon cycle.

Any 2017 news on the Nautique's looking for a new boat soon and have always owned Nautiques.

Looks like some of the 2017 Malibu's are coming out and the dealer meeting is today.

Looks like they finally have a rear walkthrough and using a SeaDeck material instead of carpet.

Also looks like Malibu is suing PCM for LS3 failures ?

One great idea is for them to solve stereo issues they have had for multiple years...engine noise and poor amp/speaker settings from the factory!

That lawsuit doesn't appear to have anything to do with PCM in my quick skim of the information. PCM doesn't manufacture Malibu's engines anyway, so not sure why they would sue PCM.

Malibu does use PCM engines. They are only in the Response, and the Axis line. The wakesetters have Indmar.

That lawsuit is against Marine Power, not PCM. Malibu used marine power LS3s for a year or two and had tons of issues. It was the main reason they switched to PCM in some models I think.

I'll never own a boat with an Indmar ever again. Well, ill never be in anything but a nautique ever again either, so i guess im good.
End rant.

Interesting. I did know that they used them in Axis, but I didn't realize they were in the Response as well.

[bradw]

Don't only the axis boats use the crusader engine which is effectively a budget version of a pcm ?

[Wayward]

Interesting. I did know that they used them in Axis, but I didn't realize they were in the Response as well.

I'm guessing it is because they didn't want to have a bigger motor box. The Raptor takes up quite a bit more room than the SBC.

[DocPhil]

That MXZ is absolutely wretched. That is one of the few Bus I have ever seen that I absolutely hated. The vinyl pattern is grotesque

G21 finally getting the hull changes like on 23 and 25?

[NautiqueJeff]

The G21 doesn't need that hull change. It already has it.

The G23 and G25 were modified to be more like the G21. The G21 was already designed around NSS where the G23 and G25 were not since it didn't exist when they were designed.

What about the bow spray though....... My G21 was terrible compared to my 16 G23

[NautiqueJeff]

Yeah, I suppose they could do the bow modification. As far as functionality though, the G21 hull already has the same abilities as the 2016 G23 and G25.

I hear you about the spray though. In certain conditions it can be pretty bad on pre-'16 G23 and G25, and the same for the current G21.

BOARD RACKS worth a flip!!!
