#*@## hole Malibu owners

[davidl]

Went to a great wake board compition this weekend at lake billy chinook here in Oregon, It was sponcered by a local malibu dealer. All was well until my 08 LSV pulled in and got alot of LOOKS even a few coments on the Z cargo rack, of course these were from centuriun-supra- ect.... then comes the B-52 owner with his Wake setter buddy telling us to take our cheap version of a boat to the other side of the show, needless to say my terrett syndrom kicked in and well you can guess the rest. What is up with this ego crap on the lakes? Are any of you out there seeing this?. Are they just pissed that they spent to much on a NAME.......O well just had to vent....Thanks

A Holes are well Just Aholes, they are spread out all thru good ol America We've ran into a few of them ego driven maniacs. Just tell them how nice there boat is and stroke their ego a little and they tend to go away. I don't quite understand the need for superiority on the lake. I believe and correct me if I'm wrong but, I'm pretty sure everyone goes to the lake to have a good time whether they are in a Frikin Canoe or a Frikin 80K Malibu or a Frikin Yacht. You can always win over people with Kindness. People like this think they have alot of friends where as this ego carries over to other parts of their personality and they get bashed over and over behind their backs. I see it all the time. I just don't understand why people can't be respectful of other people. For the most part I'm blessed to be in an area where most people treat others with some courtesy. I guess you could do what my wife does. She tells them " You seem like a very angry individual and offers them a hug??? They usually don't know what to say???????? Anyways, thanks for letting me vent too, you caught me on one of those days as well.


Peace Out

Kill them with kindness. They will wise up someday...

Well I have run into this for years. We had a MasterCraft but after a while it became on old MasterCraft and then we were "looked" down upon. Then we get this Moomba and everyone likes it except for the new Yellow MasterCraft X-14 owner on the lake. Finally he waves back to us because every weekend my kids and wife wave to them first. I have to tell myself that it is NOT about showing how much Money I have or don't have compared to others. I just know we are having fun and I didn't have to pay what he did to do it!

I agree, it's just ego. Some people are born a holes and they probably will never change. Next time a Malibu owner gives you crap, ask him who makes the engine on his boat. Surprise surprise, it's Indmar, same as our Moomba's. So basically he paid an extra 30 to 40 grand for a name tag.

Insecure people need to put somebody down in order to feel better about themselves.

Don't even worry about it. Everyone I meet locally (mc x45, mc x-star, malibu wakesetter) have all been really cool guys.

MrsZ just reminded me that (Ok we have been doing the inboard thing since the early 80's) that us back then, Malibu's were the cheap boat. You know SC could just charge an extra 20K for the boat without doing anything else to it and we could then drive around with our noses stuck in the air. The real reason for these boats is listed under Skiing and under General Chat under Cute. These pictures show something that is priceless!!!

Yea, well crash another dealer’s party and I think you should expect a little smack.

That said, tow boats are everywhere these days and I don't like it. More of them on the drive to VA that I/O's, what's up with that?!

My hard drive crashed this trip and ate 5 hours of writing, I'm lucky I could remember my SC password.

Vista is not too hateful. I do however hate it.

I missed a lake weekend, A buddy got his sisters dog wacked by a skunk at the lake- lmao at that. Eight years and three dogs - no trouble here. Moth balls apparently scare skunks away. It is generally best however if you can get someone to hold their little wings while you collect them - oh, he was laughed at for hours by phone.

George, if you check in - it was Bob.

I dont see this much around here...at least not really negative haters... not necessarily the most friendly..
I ride with some friends...one has an 07 X-30 and the other an 08 X STAR.. and both enjoy riding on mine as well...they are not at all snobs about their boats... very nice and well taken care of...but not snobs..

There is no reason for this type of attitude...

I wouldn't sweat it, it takes all types. I wonder how his on lake performance was behind his expensive boat. This kind of person tends to be all show and no go. I have not been bashed like that, infact I have guys stopping me asking for a pull to see if the hype is worth it. I have other friends who are always bragging about my boat for me, and folks, I have a plain old Outback, not even a tower (were just skiers after all). Two weeks ago after a day on the lake, our friends with a 2008 Supra 22SSV and us went for dinner. Will looks back at the 2 rigs and says, "man what a couple of great rigs we have". Heck I'll take that compliment any day!
