That's a great engine! You have a 23LSV or a 25LSV? Looks great in your avatar. I am a fan of green and our first Wakesetter was all black with green flake where yours is black. It was sick, but the CFO wasn't a fan. She prefers blue.

25 LSV. It's my 3rd Malibu. I wanted to name it "Never Again II" but my CFO insisted on a more family friendly name so, "Gumby" it is.

Sweet!! I'm on my 5th Malibu and currently rocking a 2022 25LSV. I'm considering ordering a 2025 25LSV. We had 2 in the stable at one point. The second was sold last may because unlike the CFO and me, the kids don't like to ski so we sold our Response LXI.
 
Bu number II was a Yellow over white 1999 Response LX I ordered new with my brother. We called it "Banana Split" because it was yellow and we were splitting the cost. What's cool is yellow wasn't offered on anything but the Corvette model that year so we paid extra to get it made. It was one of 2 made that year in yellow. I'm old now so I don't slalom at all any more and rarely wakeboard but surfing...I'll go surf any day.

I was wondering the same thing you were.

I’ve seen this topic on other forums, so I thought it might be of interest here. What’s the backstory on your forum name?

In my case, from the time I was a small child I spent a lot of time on the ocean for work and play. That developed a healthy respect for how the weather and ocean can change from friendly to dangerous, and how a safe, sturdy boat can be a lifesaver. I saw Boston Whaler boats in service in the military, police, and fire service, and they remained seaworthy after ridiculous abuse, including many hull-penetrating rounds from large-bore rifles, so I wanted one for a family fishing/diving boat. Unfortunately, whalers have been ridiculously expensive since the early 80s. New ones were far beyond my financial reach, so I decided to buy an older one and restore it. That became a habit, as it allowed me to own boats that were like new for about 25% of the new cost. The last one I did was a 27 foot whaler Outrage with twin Yamaha 225s on an offshore bracket (“whaler-drive”). To this day, I’d rather be offshore in a storm in that boat than most boats twice its size.
 
I once was in a motorcycle club and you were given what they called a "road name", but you had to earn it. I really didn't care where we were going, or really anything. All I wanted to know was when and where we were going to eat. So I earned the name "Lunch Box" Now I continue to do things to live up to that name as well!!
 
Best friend growing up gave it to me after a motorcycle crash at the track when it was over he said oh Magoo you’ve done it again and that’s been it.
