Mastercraft or Malibu

[Paublo]

I have too many issues with both of those- Malibu: cheap carpeted seat bases, poor fuel economy, wedge. MC: horrible local dealer, and my impression is the quality is slipping badly. I looked at several new ones in a showroom last week and the vinyl stiching was very poor on every one. Right now I would have to go with a Nautique.

That's tough. I really like the look and wake of Malibus but cant stand that I hit my head on the Illusion tower. I also cant stand that every boat on any lake up here is a Malibu.

MC's are nice as well especially the interiors but the cost is something I couldn't swallow. If money wasn't an option it would probably be MC, maybe an X-star, wait...don't I have one of those already! LOL.

Do not have to get the illusion tower from Malibu!

The Titan is not that much better.

I agree with Matt, too many Bu's on the lake. Although the surf wake I saw behind one last weekend was amazing, I was jealous. I like MC Xstar the best but they are way too pricey, I could not afford one. So that leaves me with Supra, and I really like the 08's graphics and an overall boat. Of course, I would have to test drive them all before making a decision and get the scoop on the dealers. But yeah, Supra, I could see myself with one of those.

So I guess if I had to choose between the two, Supra.

HAHA! That's my pick as well!!

Supras seem like quality boats, but I could never get around the playpen bow. On the 24, its your only choice, and I don't like it. My family wouldn't let me go any further with looking at supras when they saw that.

Probably the new 21 foot Tomcat.

I think multiple choice questions may have been difficult for you in school.

That was one of the main features of the Supra that turned me off, they were on the lost of 3 when we chose the Tige. I would look at them again, before the 2 choices in this thread

IMHO, Bu's are paper tigers, and the thin wall construction, really bothers me. The wedge seems like a headache, all though I am sure they've worked to fix this. The MC is way to much money for what you get. I wouldn't buy either one. Supra throw sic wakes, GREAT surf wakes too, so that is my choice, if Tige wasn't around at all. Or a SIC, sacked out Basstracker! Give me a Skeeter with ton in the floor-hello.

I would consider the SANGER 237 before the supra. From what I have heard about the surfwake, and I have been around sanger boats all my life. My dad built racing engines for boat and land drag racing. Always liked the look of the sanger flat bottom over the hondo. Save a lot of money over the MC.

I couldn't consider sanger before, they didn't even have a 23. I don't think I could go down from a 24' boat, my specs when I got the tige was 16 passenger capacity. But the 237 is close, getting there.

MC. The local Bu dealer is an A@S.

[dogbert]

I'd go Supra

Well, there is Black and White for sure but I live in the Gray Areas too often.

[formandfunction]

I had a supra before my tige.Ive also been on a handfull of others.People complain about stuff breaking but I think thats all boats.Wake was nice too.
If I had to choose between malibu or mastercraft I would restore a stars and stripes.
