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.


What are you disagreeing on??????? I said the same thing you did.

Malibu being
stupid about this is part of their price point. They are using water
instead of a synthetic sound absorbing material,


I'd bet that the extra glass and such that M uses equals what ever MC
and CC use. not even counting all the warranty claims. I think its
stupid, you think its stupid, but 3500 boat sales a year don't.
