....actually, i liked the malibus, good price good boat. I like nautiques cause of the "kicker" in the wake, i dont have to work as hard to get my fat ass off the water then!!! lol.... ...i remember.....the vlx.....fill all the sacks, sometimes ran wedge, sometimes not, affected more the shape and hardness of the wake not necesarilty the size, but as for the 1200 lbs of lead i had in it, thats just damn fun!!!!! hit me up bro!!!
