  1. Never really like how low my seat sat in my Malibu. I sat on the bolster 99% of the time or spun he seat around and kneeled on it. I started looking around and found a direct bolt in 4” seat riser. Sure my head now partially sticks up past the windshield but it’s still below the wind path. Much more comfortable that always on the bolster and much better visibility when pulling a surfer.

  2. Did this last spring. I started out using a heat gun to remove all the old decals, They were so old and brittle they came off in little small pieces. First to go was that danger CO2 sticker lol. I had and expected to have some serious ghosting from the stickers. I also removed all the thru hull fittings, vents, cleats and lights. I wet sanded the boat over the next few weekends starting with 800, 1000, 1200, 1500, and 2000. I know I shouldn’t have but I used a air DA on the 2000 grit since the 3M supper cut claimed to remove 1200 sanding marks. Wish I would have listened and covered the trailer that was a son of a gun to get leaned up. I used a bottle jack and a block of wood on the trailer to get around the front of the bow. I buffed with 3M, Super cut, a medium cut and a finish polish. Then coated the boat with 3 coats of chemical guys hydro slick ceramic sealant. Keep it washed with chemical guys hydro suds that touches up the sealant. I installed the newer black and chrome Malibu decal on the back with a matched set of registration numbers. I like it bare but now the wife wants to add the wakesetter side decal. Then I did the gates and Fresh air exhaust
  3. Great idea, I’m over due for trailer service, I’ve had my new to me 06 for 2 years and wanted to completely service my hubs and brakes. Been pricing parts, this way isn’t much more and looks like quite the time saver.
