Re: R33 launch?
We priced ours out at $612k. I added the thingamajig cause why not? If it keeps everyone from getting sea sick then it’s a no brainer. I was thinking of selling all my assets and the two kids. I could sleep in the bathroom if needed.

Re: Proper Tongue Weight and How to Measure It
You are correct. I don’t think that most people realize a 3/4 ton doesn’t have much more payload capacity than a half ton truck. Especially if the 3/4 ton has diesel engine. My wife’s F150 has a payload of just over 1600lbs, most 3/4 tons are around 2300-2500lbs, some can be slightly higher dependi...

Re: Proper Tongue Weight and How to Measure It
Just my two cents… when I ordered my truck I was really surprised to see that (back in 2019, who knows now) it was only a few hundred dollars, literally $200 to go from a 3/4 to a 1 ton or F250 to F350. It’s really nice to not have to worry about payload When we pack up for a week at the lake :0). ...

Re: Locking Fuel Cap
Any idea if you have to change the filler neck also or does it fit stock filler neck?

Locking Fuel Cap
Just wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a locking fuel cap for a 2019 R5? Would like it to appear stock. I have one these but it doesn’t fit in the gas filler tube. https://nationalsupplydirect.com/locking-insert-for-fuel-deck-fills.html?ff=1&fp=19654&utm_source=paid&utm_cha...

Re: ‘19 R5 Vibration
I had a small nick in one blade the first year of ownership - kicked up some sand with the prop coming back into the marina. Vibration was evident after that. At first I thought it was the engine running rough, but running the engine up in N didn't show any vibration, so it had to be drive train. I...

Re: Surcharge on 22 production
I would assume this is for orders going forward. If they apply a surcharge to an already negotiated deal that you have a deposit on, then that's a very easy way to lose a customer. I’m not sure. It sounds to me like the dealer held the orders until Malibu said to order. Then when they ordered or be...

Installing a windlass (Lewmar V700) on my classic Condesa. (Tired of playing anchor ballerina, and good deckhands are hard to find.) Any tips on what to do/not do? (BB: Don't install it in the stern is not a helpful tip.) Make sure you have enough chain or rope and that it’s attached at the eye hoo...
