And ya....Malibu is in disarray right now from a supply/production viewpoint. There are some bummed dudes over at the Malibu Crew Site and with reason. My boat is scheduled to arrive next week and if got pushed to June or July, I would be devastated.
Been reading the MaliBU debacle, what a mess.
Thinking some boats won’t be built at this point and with pending significant price increases coming for 2022, not a great time to buy a boat.

My dealer said 5-8% increase on '22s last weekend.Quote:

First world problems.

5-8% seems a pretty high year over year increase if no content is added. I think Supra was appx 4% from 20 to 21 but with some features added as standard offsets the real increase.

I hope it's on the lower side but the market has us by the balls and apparently there is no shortage of folks willing to pay.Quote:

I feel lucky to have threaded the needle, selling my boat high, but still getting a strong discount on my 21.
Fairly confident I could sell my 21 for a nice financial gain if I wanted, but life isn’t about money to me.

Whats Malibu big issue of why they are canceling orders? Anything specific?
Resin shortages and many components that come from China.Quote:

Offshore components are stuck on ships that are backlogged to unload at port, snowball effect is no empty shipping containers to load more Chinese products on the next ships.
Boats are seeing the same supply issues that have the majority of the automobile production shut down or delayed. Shortages will last another 6-9 months.

Thats what I figured just curious if they had an official excuse or not hahaQuote:

I heard Ford shut down some plants due to a combination of workers and parts??
I have an F150 on order and also work in automotive. The 2 F150 plants have be alternating shutdowns. They build as far ahead as they can until they run out of parts then pause to restock.Quote:

GM and Ford have focused supply to prioritize keeping truck production going (trucks are their money makers), but it’s all hand and mouth right now.
My Truck shows it’s built and waiting for a shipping date. It gets here when it gets here, I don’t get excited about new vehicles anymore.
