Post by Parrothead »

I need to talk to a dealer about a Malibu Stealth 9. Who should I talk to?

Last set of Mini-X's I purchased were from the dealer in Katy / Rockport...if it's still the same couple, I highly recommend them.

Before that, I had purchased from ACK, but no longer appears they're selling Malibu.

It used to be Dixie Kayaks but I have not seen them in Rockport for a couple of years.

I bought my first Malibu from dealer in Lake Jackson. Small One man operation but real nice to deal with. http://www.bluewater-kayaks.com/malibukayaks.html

My 2nd Malibu was from the Katy/Rockport Dixie Kayaks when they were going out of business a few years ago. Looks like someone else in Katy now.

I bought my last Mini-x from West Marine in Corpus Christi. Very good service from them.

Not the hijack the thread, but what's going on with Malibu kayaks? The last 3- dealers I've purchased yaks from are no longer carrying them (or gone), including Dixie and ACK.

back in 2012 they had some internal issues...various story's going around on what happened. The story i heard was there was 2 owners...one was pretty silent in the day to day operations & the other ran the day to day stuff. silent partner didnt like what was going on & came in one day & took molds, computers & locked up the bank accounts. the last few years i guess they have been trying to recover from everything.
