2016 Malibu Wakesetter 25 LSV Review WBM

Wakeboard Boat Review

The Malibu Wakesetter 25 LSV is unquestionably the line’s new flagship. It’s 25 feet of roomy, luxurious traditional bow that’s fresh for 2016 and puts an accent on wake performance. This is for anyone demanding la crème de la crème in wake, surf and tech.

The 25 LSV has a moldable wakeboard and wakesurf wake straight from the dealer, and it’s all thanks to the Surf Gate, Power Wedge and Surf Band. The Power Wedge not only beefs up your wake and directs the boat’s running attitude, but it also lifts the back of the boat out of the water for faster hole shots and better fuel economy. Surf Gate continues to impress for 2016 with advanced features that let you surf the boat evenly weighted, and the new Surf Band lets you control the wave’s characteristics, as well as when it transfers from side to side. The G4 is tower technology incarnate. A honeycomb interior construction creates the pinnacle of rigidity, the locking feature is simple, and the wiring is integrated into the structure to maintain a seamless exterior. The dash got some tweaks for 2016 that made it even more refined. The menus were simplified in the 12-inch center touchscreen as well as the 7-inch auxiliary screen, and the multifunction rotary switch is just as handy as last year to nudge settings while running down the lake.
