Malibu Boats Rockin' Wikipedia Thanks to Malibu Crew

We check the Malibu Boats Wikipedia page from time to time to see if there is any new Malibu Boats information up there. We have tried to update the page ourselves, but it always gets rejected as being "too commercial'. Which is a good thing, I guess. Wikipedia is a great tool because it offers unbiased true information.

Well, on this last trip up to the web dictionary we noticed a big change. The Wikipedia page on Malibu Boats has been completely repopulated with true, extensive and up-to-date information on Malibu Boats. It even lists source links for the new web site. It's awesome!

Turns out we owe a big "Thank you" to the Malibu Crew and specifically member "tj_in_kc" for researching the process and then updating the page. Thank you TJ! After reading this Malibu Crew thread we found crew members and moderators have attempted to up date this page for us before. We would like to thank you all!

We appreciate the time you dedicate to furthering the Malibu Difference and educating people about Malibu Boats. You are a one-of-kind group and Malibu Boats is stronger because of dedicated owners like you. Thank you!

Malibu Boats Dealer Commemorates UA Season with Custom WakeboardBoat

There was a steady stream of passers-by stopping to look at the University of Alabama Malibu Boat Skier's Marine created for the 2009 Birmingham Boat Show. Many took pictures of and in front of the one-of-a-kind wakeboard boat.

Skier's Marine had Malibu Boats build the Alabama colored boat to commemorate the Rolling Tide's undefeated season. Team pride was off-the-hook at the Birmingham Boat Show.

Highlights from the Tide's undefeated season played on a flat screen in front of the boat, but most of the day the TV was blocked by people stopping to stare and take pictures. They had never seen anything so fitting at the boat show. Even the trailer said "Roll Tide Roll".

Malibu Boats Dealer Skier's Marine not only designed the UA wakeboard boat they custom made the boat's graphics. A lot of thought went into this boat. That was obvious to fans and show goers alike.

When we asked Rett Tyler from Skier's Marine what inspired this idea, he said simply, "Tide Pride!" He continued, "We wanted to show how proud we are of UA and remind everyone just how special this season was."

Malibu Engineer Gets Thumbs Up at Minnesota Boat Show

Adam Perez scoped this post out on the Malibu Crew. It's about one of our engineers, Shane Stillman. Shane happens to be working the Minnesota Boat Show this weekend with long-time Malibu dealer Minnesota Inboard. And according to this post he's a big hit! We've always thought so too, Arctic Slalom.

Among other things he's our pro photoboat driver, as shown in this photo. He does it all and Malibu is lucky to have him.
