I really like your choice of colors, and scheme. Hope you have some good days on the water before it takes a dry suit to endure the chill.

I'm a real fan of red/black/white combos. I like the graphics on our '08, but I would have absolutely designed one of the bottom three if I was in the market this year. Here's one I sent to admin for my two cents worth.

Can't do the dominant black schemes though because the water we play in is way too hard, and would be virtually impossible to clean off at the end of the day. http://www.mbboatowners.com/images/fbfiles/images/2011_x_scheme_white_and_red_w_black.jpg[/img]

It will be a great looking boat, especially if you are able to get the tower powder coated. Here's to hoping the ice comes off the lakes early this year.

If you don't mind me asking, where are you planning to have the tab installed? And have you gotten quotes for the install? I've got an '08 V23. Just purchased the boat over the winter so we don't have much experience, but did do a demo ride late last fall, and didn't experience any porpoising.

When you make the final decision, let us see what you decided.

And one last effort. http://www.mbboatowners.com/images/fbfiles/images/2011_x_scheme_black_with_yellow_X.jpg[/img]

Here's a version on the 23 http://www.mbboatowners.com/images/fbfiles/images/2011_B52V23_Red_on_Black.jpg[/img]

A little cleaner version with just a simple accent on the X. http://www.mbboatowners.com/images/fbfiles/images/2011_x_scheme_white_with_gray_X.jpg[/img]

Here's one in yellow and gray. http://www.mbboatowners.com/images/fbfiles/images/2011_x_scheme_yandg.jpg[/img]

Thanks for the help. Hopefully I can now upload this one that I like. As you can from our '08 52 V23 see I am partial to red.

Ultimately found it easier to send you an e-mail with the pic attached. Maybe one day I'll figure out how to upload an image.

The discriminator was telling me the file was over the 120kb size limit.

:ohmy:

I'm trying to post one I like but it's going to take some time to figure out how to get the pic from the MB website. Any advice on how to get a file from the website to the forum pages?

I like the x design, and the black with red x is great, but that combination with gray just doesn't work for me.

Oops, didn't realize the reply wouldn't come in under the pic with the very basic overall white, with red detailing.

Really like this one. It's definitely on the simple side, but it's very clean, almost retro.

Good on ya mate! Glad to know you have an MB on expected arrival. And as for your approach to simply ask, I'm glad that would work for you, but I've spent enough time on this wobbly round orb to know that there is a vast difference in offerings of a client oriented organization, vs. one that is directed by someone of the me generation. It was as much a test for their customer appreciation skills, as it was a desire to receive information I was seeking.

Sadly I can predict that if my experience was shared by others, MB, as a brand in Utah, will ultimately suffer. I find that terribly sad, because I firmly believe there is not a better wakeboard boat to be purchased.

Hope you get some time on the water before your winter sets in.

I am not likely the focus demographic for this style of boat. My wife and I are older, but I'm definitely not a neophyte to boating. We had our grand-daughter with us, and our 21 yr. old son, who should sit right smack in the middle of a group they would love to chat with.

We stood around watching the Reboat reps have little conversations among themselves, all the while simply ignoring us. Not in a rude way, but just seemingly oblivious to the fact we were looking to get some questions answered. My son was even poking around, by looking into the boats, and looking underneath trying to get a response. None came, so as for pricing, after 5 minutes of being ignored I never got a chance to chat with anyone about pricing.

Like I say, this is perhaps a very jaded experience, and maybe I'm the only one who had a like experience ( I would hope so). It's just that when you're new as a sales organization with a particular brand, I would expect the staff to be overly engaging with the public walking by. And I don't know who Shane Stillman is, which is my problem, not his, but like I said I couldn't even get any MB staff to take time to visit.

Wish I could be more positive about Reboats, but I'm still very high on MB.

Went to the Utah Boat Show last night, and sadly was very disappointed at the little effort put forth by Reboats (the Utah dealer for MB in 2011) to engage people and talk about MB boats. Didn't seem to have much interest from the MB reps either.

Still glad I bought my boat at the end of last year, and I'm just glad that SS Marine is still willing to work on MBs even though they don't have the dealership this year.

Reboats needs some seasoning, or I would guess they won't be around for long. If I would have had this type of experience in their showroom, I would have never considered buying a boat they were selling, no matter what brand it was.

Thanks for the update. Haven't been to the show for several years. Looking forward to seeing all that MB is putting together.

Anyone know who the reps from MB will be at the Utah Boat Show next week? What local dealer(s) are representing MB in 2011?

Unfortunately not. The 2008 models have pumps. That said there is still no better boat on the market.
