I guess I'm glad I bought when I did as I'm getting priced out of the market pretty quick. However the price increases should help keep our resale value up.

Interesting on the engine change, wonder what they plan to do with the transmission ratios.

Same here. We're talking high 60s for least expensive boat at this point.

Might as well start shopping Malibu at that point.

Great point!

Would love to see a retro for the remote surfgate option!

It is not like Malibu prices are standing still

What's wrong with the raptor? I know the basics of an engine but I am definitely not a gear head. Is it a ford v. Chevy debate type thing?

This. Malibu jumped minimum 10% from '15 to '16. Which is one of the reasons I bought my '15 Bu LSV. The price difference between a '15 Bu LSV and a '16 T23 was surprisingly close and that was with the ls3 motor compared to a 450 in the T23. As long as boats keep selling, prices will keep climbing. Gotta pay for all those dash redesigns :mrgreen:

I have a 2016 T23 now, granted I don't mind my dash, it has grown on me. The kicker is the surf band... Can it be retrofitted?

No word on retrofit yet. My guess would be no Malibu wants us to buy new boats.

That would be a upgrade point for us for sure. It has already been discussed in our household last night! LOL

Just personal preference. Indmar and PCM been in the marine game forever...Raptor, not so much.
