MBboatDUDE Posted May 13, 2024 Report Share Posted May 13, 2024 It takes a lot of time and effort to make changes to the boats we already love… what are the top 3 things you think we need to add/change to our boats in 2026 (yes… 2026… not this coming seasons 2025 models). Greatness takes time! We have some cool MY2025 upgrades coming by the way, I just want to make sure we are hearing our MB Family for the future.

oboyskibum Posted May 16, 2024 Report Share Posted May 16, 2024 I think it would be nice to have off the top of my head: the ability to use larger-diameter props Multi subwoofers, bimini top extensions, rear deck filler( can't lay across the back of the boat currently) better access to the storage space in the helm area (the front seat opens to get behind the helm) Windshield wraps around further so the drive isn't getting wet from spray on a windy day.

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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drm916 Posted June 27, 2024 Report Share Posted June 27, 2024 I am going to repeat some and add a few others. the ability to use larger-diameter props Multi subwoofers, Bimini that folds up a lot easier. rear deck filler( can't lay across the back of the boat currently) better access to the storage space in the helm area (the front seat opens to get behind the helm) Access to observer storage area. (hinge on front seat that allows it to fold up to gain access) Plastic trashcan insert instead of the metal one. Tower flag pole mount gussets Thruster option Glovebox hump extension that would make glovebox taller and not just flat Slightly deeper top deck that would add a few inches of depth. Above would allow slightly thicker seat foam Ability to adjust position of wake plates instead of just on/off Above would allow rider profiles. Speed controlled volume control for radio Battery switch moved to glovebox or to walkthrough instead of under observer seat. Gas filler on both sides of boat instead of just port side. Gatorstep added to bow gunwales Option for vinyl covered dash Center drain plug option for those of use that leave our boat on a lift. My boat collects and holds a lot of water in that area that the bilge pump doesnt pump out. Option for heated observer seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve also found that the 25 Alpha is massive competition to the 23 Alpha in the wave department. Call me, let’s order you a 2025 😎🤘🏼 801-518-6343 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesjackson Posted July 17, 2024 Report Share Posted July 17, 2024 Heres the upgrades I would like. Easier Bimini ideally with an extra 1 or 2 ft on the back as its pretty small for even the 23' I love flip back and forth surf seat in the middle (or whatever you call it). When folded in the normal rear position, I wish there was a small foot step in the center with gator step or something, so we don't have to step directly on the seat cushion. Would be awesome if you could figure out a way to have it folded with a step on one side and then flip over and be upholstered cushion on the other when you don't want to use the step, so someone can sit there. The dash wireless charger location with the current Fusion stereo is terrible. No one wants to put there phone down below the shifter basically on the floor. upholstered arm rest on the captains seat would be nice. My initial thoughts driving was where to put my elbow to comfortably hold the throttle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any chance MB wants to offer those as retrofit items to those of us with new boats where it wasn’t an option? Gladly pay for those items if available. I almost went with a used Malibu just to get the thruster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
