Hazelwood's are the original UK Malibu dealer: Hazelwood Ski World - Malibu Boats UK
We've had great service from George, so would recommend.
D2 marine seem to be bringing loads of boats now though.
I love the clean rampy wake of a Malibu, not a step like an (older) Nautiques. I personally much prefer it to the new Air Nautique 210 and Calabria i've ridden. i've not ridden behind a new Mastercraft though, only a prostar on skis. Malibu sell more boats than both Mastercraft and Correct craft in the US, and have won more awards in the US too.
They just haven't had a big presence in the UK so far, due to MC and CC more established dealer network, keeping the prices high.

I'm not dissing the other boats by the way, they are all great, i just like Malbu's. Once people in the UK start to ride behind them more, they will too.

Offaxis still had their Malibu VLX when I saw them at wakestock in Abersoch. Go and ask Jonny for a tow.
