It never hurts to call and ask, but many years ago when new towers were released, MB wasn't really interested in doing retro upgrades. They want you to buy a new boat lol https://mbboatowners.com/index.php?/topic/4835-new-tower/

If the bow rise while surfing is significantly better this should be a home run.

I just saw the redesigned 21' and it looks great! I like the progress MB is making with the transom design. This looks like the sharpest one yet IMO.

Whoever fixed the form software, THANK YOU! I couldn't login for some reason on most devices. Could only post on desktop and not even consistently. Glad to have this working again. Now just need people to return to the site!

It looks like sound dampening is included for 2025. This is great to hear (pun intended)! Can anyone share their feedback on how much quieter it is? Any other updates for 2025?

I believe there was an old post on here where someone looked at the support behind that cleat and there wasn't even a large washer on it. Seems like that would be an easy reinforcement.

I would call MB. They have connected me with part suppliers in the past and I was able to purchase directly from the supplier. Just call the number on the website.

Have you fully tested it to isolate the port side ballast as the issue? Meaning, no ballast = no water in the engine well. Starboard side ballast only = no water in the engine well. Port side ballast only = water in the engine well. If so, that would indicate that the issue is with the port ballast tank. Have you pulled the carpet access panel where the Drainmaster gate valve is located to ensure that the fittings are tight? I would even look at this when the ballast is full and see if you see any water leaking out. The other thing to look at is the air outlet hose. Did the hose clamp come off and water is leaking from there? If all of that looks good then the problem seems like the tank itself which is probably going to be pain to fix. I would take the trays and locker dividers out so you can look around more easily and see if you can spot where the water is coming in at.

Looks like a nice job by the welder. Hopefully that makes the cross bars strong enough for your speakers to be mounted on top bar. Is there a reason you have them there instead of the factory location on the side bars?

I would 2nd this. Some on here even did their own aftermarket extension. http://www.mbboatowners.com/index.php?/topic/17936-what-would-you-have-done-differently-when-ordering-your-current-boat/&do=findComment&comment=113793 I would also add: Better engine noise isolation Widen the windshield (admittedly stolen from https://youtu.be/dyqGrNl2zJ4?si=4mrbSTrh54yw9lxP&t=258)

Glad to have some MB representation on the forum @MBboatDUDE! Looking forward to seeing your 25' in action as well.

Welcome to the forum @FlyNavy! I have a 2013 B52 21' in my garage so hopefully I can provide some helpful input even though it's not exactly the same boat. Just to make sure I understand correctly, you have a single bay garage with a 9' wide door you're trying to get the boat into, correct? One issue I'm pretty sure you're going to have is width. I bought a house several years ago that had a 4 car garage with 4 single 9' wide doors. The trailer guide rails would have had to have been removed to fit through the 9' door width as they were slightly wider than 9'. The height of my doors were only 7' so I ended up hiring various contractors to convert two of the single doors into an 8' tall double door. The other issue with this narrow of a door opening is that you need to be able to back the boat straight into the garage. My driveway has a slope so I need to approach at an angle. A narrow door opening makes an angle approach almost impossible so that's one more factor for you to keep in mind. Another issue you may have is, what is attached to the transom of the boat you're looking at? Does it have a surf tabs? An FAE? Those all add length. If it's only the exhaust tips, you might just barely sneak it in. If I recall correctly, the boat hull is 23' so you have to add the extra length for whatever is attached to the transom. At 23'10" you'll just barely make it if you only have the exhaust tips and you remove the swim platform. With surf tabs or an FAE, I don't think you'll fit. If you do decide to go for it, I would consider getting a trailer dolly. With as close as you're cutting it, the trailer dolly will be much easier to maneuver than backing it in with your tow vehicle. I went with one from this company and it worked well. https://kaadengineering.com/

Good to see MB making things right for you guys. And you're getting a new interior for your troubles!

You might try getting a hold of hyperryd on the MB Facebook group. Unfortunately the facebook group pretty much killed this forum and it looks like hyperryd hasn't been on here since Jan.

MB prefers you to buy a new boat lol
