Yup, a blow boat, a canooe, a kayak and an Italian cruiseliner just for good measure. What a bunch of morons

I usually don't get pizzed off very easily, but this actually manage to do so. What a phucking low way to patronize their potential buyers and other boaters. They must think people are idiots!

Rant done Time for a cig break I think.

Have a nice day

I like that they compared their Malibu to everything but never let you know what other brands they were comparing.
They never mentioned ride quality or how those boats make you piss blood for a week because they ride so rough. They also failed to mention the care it takes to not take water over the nose from other boat wakes. How incredibly slow the boat is compared to a stern drive & how damp hard it is to control it at no wake speeds.
One more question. If the boat is so much safer, why install a roll bar?

Cute video. But it is much easier to train kids not to jump on stern drives than to change teh laws of physics and trimming a boat.

Besides, what pride is there in showing off the transom jewelry when it consists of a straight shaft and prop hidden under the boat.

That was so phucking stupid, I'm left a little bit speechless.
The only think missing from that ad was "Hi. I'm President Obama, and I approve this message."

Yes infinitely adjustable prop shaft angles are useless if the production consists of a glorified barge.

As somebody else already said, try backing one of those bad boys into a slip - just once. The steering wheel pretty much becomes a "random direction generator." And trimming the drive up for shallow water? "Uh Houston, we have a problem." And so many high performance boats use inboards because, they're, um, never mind.

Fear not, somebody will fall for it!

Anyone who chooses to get drug around behind a boat on a stick of wood handing onto a piece of rope isn't right in the head anyway & will surely drink this kool-aid.

If I see a boat swerving and swaying when I'm going down the lake, I don't care WHAT kind of boat they are in, I'm gonna SHOOT them! Might as well compared it to a jet ski....
