- Windows look a little different from my 2007 - I like the new windows
- I don't like the mirror on the window so I guess I'd never buy that style of tower although, it looks cool
I didn't see a boat either... interesting.
I dig the boat, and the graphics. I like these graphics a lot better than the ones that have flames on them. The chrome Moomba always looks sharp, and I agree, that tower is growing on me. I'd still opt for the old school one that we all have, but that's just me.
As long as your ~8 feet off of the water at all times, I don't think you'd have a problem with the rope rubbing that rear bimini!
I like the boat, the graphics and the tower. The black and blue combination looks realy sharp. The bimini could be bigger.
As for the mirror, I'm fairly certain that Samson makes a mirror for the original Malibu illusion tower that may work for this.
don't like the window mounted mirror... lame...
I like the blue/black color combo with the graphics. Looks way better that the red one that Ed posted earlier.
I installed the monster cargo bimini on my boat a few weeks ago and love it. I can't imagine not having a cargo bimini now. It doesn't look like a cargo bimini would work on these....anyone know?
If it's not set correctly, it can rub on this bimini. My neighbor's 247 has this tower & bimini and I have seen where the bimini is worn down to the frame. He is planning to patch it this offseason.Quote:

Who wants to spend $50k on an imitation Malibu? perhaps thats harsh, but it sure looks like it. Maybe it's just me, I don't know, it just seems like they could have done something more original.
All boat manufacturers copy each other. The trick is to keep trying to improve a good idea. This tower is better than the older one. Who the heck gets in their boat from the side anyway? We all climb in from the bow or the platform. I suppose if you park at a dock all the time or on a lift that might not be the case though.
It's not the exact same tower. According to XTP is's new and improved, just looks the same. Whatever.
Metcraft made the tower for Malibu, Malibu went with a new design and released their interest in the design, Metcraft sold it to XTP, XTP improved on it. Or something of this nature as i understand it.
I don't find it weird at all they're using it, it's a very good design, no rattles and very easy to fold. Think about, all mfgrs copied each other in some form with regular towers so what's the diff? Who cares? Why would anyone care?
