    This boat has been in my family since the 80s. It has literally been everywhere. From the bay to the lake and back again. I am trying to get family members to go through the old photo albums and find old pictures of this boat so I will have them. Here is one from who knows how long ago of a...

    Got the boat back on the trailer. Replaced the bunks, carpet, lights, winch, and bunk brackets on the trailer while I had it off it. Picked me up a bow mount 45lb thrust tiller steer trolling motor for the boat which I got installed yesterday. And I got the 15 HP Mercury on the back of it. I did...

    Flash forward to 2024. Happy New Year! This project is finally drawing to an end. Figured I would show y'all some updated photos. Interior of the boat was done using an epoxy based paint. And the outside was sanded and then painted using a mothane catalyst/catalyzed paint. Here are some before...

    I did order a 5.5ft Bimini top to have installed on the boat for some much needed shade in the summer. Also ordered a new USCG Plate and I am having sex new Malibu stickers made as the old ones were falling apart. Couldn't find anyone to remake the originals so a nice new sticker will have to do.

    The one I have seems to have been made very well. It's a very simple boat but has held up for nearly 50 years. Ready to have this completed and fixed right so it will be good for hopefully another 50.

    Boat is showing more progress. Got the transom removed last week. And the floor bedded down. Fiberglass guy (the artist as I call him) put the floor in. I just cut and beveled the plywood to fit. Still got to lay down fiberglass over it. Also got the bench seat leveled as it had about a 1/2 sag...

    Thinking of adding a small Bimini top to this boat for some much needed shade on these hot summer days. Anyone have any recommendations from places they have used in the past?

    I am having someone who does fiberglass work for a living help me (more like I will be helping him) do the transom. He is also gonna help me redo/restrengthen the keel and reglass that floor. Trying to make sure it's getting fixed right and hopefully last a couple more generations. Actually...

    Found a picture of a plate on some random forum that I think matches what I used to have on this boat. Went ahead and ordered a replacement one. Thanks to those who replied and tried helping me out. I surely appreciate it. Will try and remember to post some pictures of the boat once it is...

    Seems to be a dead end there. Tried searching "Dixie Malibu", Dixie and Malibu, Dixie or Malibu, "Malibu". Everything returns no results. Thanks for the reply though. The hunt continues

    I am hoping someone out here has this exact same boat and can help me. My great grandfather gave me this boat a few years before he passed away. This boat has a lot of sentimental value to me and my family. I am in the process of having the boat redone to include the floor, various holes...
