Malibu sucks. I purchased a custom ordered 2017 txi 6L. I battled it’s power issues with dealer and factory for 3 years! I would call, a Malibu rep would tell me they would take care of me and tell me Dennis kelly would call me or e mail me shortly to start figuring things out. Wow, I believed them. Months after not hearing anything, I would reach out to Malibu again to find out the rep I spoke to doesn’t exist...according to Malibu. I went through this 3 different times with three different reps. Their e mail accounts deleted and don’t exist after I have a record of them. The shit is crazy!! So......after 4 years, a new tech at one of the local dealers agreed to go through my whole engine. He found a faulty corroded part that was over fueling the engine causing it to lose power. So, since day one. Not one hour on the boat. It was a piece of shit out of the hole, that I ran about 10 different props on. Malibu wouldn’t believe it had an issue. WTF!
After 3 years of a brand new boat not running properly, I still didn’t get anywhere with MALIBU. The final bummer.... the part was replaced but required other associated parts to be replaced also. Did Malibu cover the cost of the faulty parts over 3 flipping years!!!?
NO THEY DID NOT. 2017 Malibu txi 6L was the most disappointing purchase I have ever made. Along with the most disappointing factory/dealer backing. Way to go Malibu!
