I've no doubt it and other boats I'm looking at will be way better than I can do justice to, however heard a few negative comments about latest tower design, looks great but a few people say it flex's quite a bit.

Anyone out there got one and have first hand experience.

Have seen a couple of boats with braces on, are these standard or options, MC or supermarket. The fact they exist suggests standard tower might have issues.
We have got a 2006 X2 - it is an amazing bit of kit, 200 hours and has never had any problems, its still like new and the tower is solid and well built. The "fly by wire" throttle control had to be changed but that appears to have been a problem in the early boats, no issues otherwise. My advice would be to try and have a look at boats that are couple of years old that will give you a better indication of build quality which I think is a little bit suspect on the Malibu's. You can gladly have a crawl all over our boat to inspect at anytime.
