This gives you a good idea of the load that it puts on the body over the course of 16 secs

Probably not, but it is a hell of a workout

I have a friend who has a 24' Malibu & it is a nice boat & has lots of neat stuff, like cruise control & the ballast system & a neat tower thing to crack my head and a heater. It isn't for me.
My thoughts exactly!

for skiing inboard is the way to go, but that's it for everything else it sucks compared to a sterndrive. What are they trying to imply that the customers they have to stupid to not run the engine with people in the water?
I'm selling my Fountain and buying a MALIBU!!!

Looks like they left part of the video on the cutting room floor.

Bottom line, the video was very biased and completely.....well stupid. But each type of boat has its purpose and pro's and con's. When I used to wakeboard, I used to love getting pulled behind my friends Malibu/Tige/Mastercraft etc. Hell when a big group of friends want to go to some of the local lakes out here (35mph speed limit 
) and just hang out, I much rather get on their wakeboard boat than my cat!

roll bars
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?
