malibu response question
Malibu only has this problem because they insist on using this stupid
hydro box. they have no other problems with construction. The hydro box IMHO is a dumb thing, and as M has to know its a problem, I have no idea why they haven't changed it. It seems that once the dealer fixes it, it stays fixed, so I'd think the factory could do at least as good a job. Using this hydo box has nothing to do with what price point they are building to. I disagree. CC never would have put something like this into production because they can't QC it according to their policy of being able to inspect each part of the boat's construction. This is part of the R&D that they do. MC wouldn't have let something like this continue either. Malibu being stupid about this is part of their price point. They are using water instead of a synthetic sound absorbing material, just like they use a fiberglass only engine and pylon mount without metal reinforcement. Is it fine most of the time sure is! Do they sometimes have to shim the pylon because the fiberglass wallers out sure do! Once again, it is good enough and most people benefit from the cost savings. I could and have gone on and on and on ad infinitum, but it's past midnight and I just got back from the lake and I'm wiped out. I also have no more to add about this. |
