![]() Malibu used to be about $25-$30k more for a similarly sized boat over Axis but those numbers have increased dramatically. My T220 was always a short term (1-2yr) plan as we are trying to build a larger outbuilding and I want to get into something bigger than 22' but I'm finding it hard to swallow the severe price increases, even on the budget lines. I appreciate their willingness but have found myself in their competitor boat builder sites and watching the used market when it wasn't even a consideration in the past. Quality control is a major issue and I've been working with Malibu and my dealer to get those items resolved and I do think Malibu is listening as I filled out a follow up survey to the one they sent weeks after purchase and my phone rang within minutes from TN wanting to address. Prices have skyrocketed across the board but when I see the financials it almost makes me sick when quality has taken such a hit and pair that with record price increases and then surcharges on top of it all. That said, I've had 5 Malibu/Axis boats and while our new boat performs pretty well, I don't feel I'm getting the return for the $$ put out. I have a great relationship with my dealer and I've seen this first hand where I walked in, saw a boat I liked and asked for price and it leaves a bad taste in my mouth after getting the figure. ![]() Start talking color schemes, options and deposits and now they get the picture that you are more serious. If you are serious about a purchase, sit down with the dealer and the deal will get much better. I have found that most dealers just quote, off the cuff, when tire kickers walk into the showroom.
