2017 Malibu Wakesetter 20 VTX Boat Review

The Malibu Wakesetter 20 VTX has everyone in mind. If you want to wakeboard or surf, you get surprisingly big wakes. If you want to slalom or trick, you get a center-mounted pylon and slim, smooth wakes. That’s the whole idea of this boat, but it’s an idea that’s harder to execute than you might think, which is why we’re so impressed with the 20 VTX year after year.

The 20 VTX can produce a surf wave you simply won’t believe is possible from a 20-foot crossover. With Surf Gate, you can transfer from side to side while the boat is evenly weighted, and with Surf Band, you can control the wave while you’re riding so you never have to bark orders at the driver.

This boat is loaded with tech from the tower to the touchscreens. The tower is the most advanced on the market.

Ballast adjusts, Surf Gate enables, the Power Wedge sets automatically, and GPS speed control kicks in — all to your specifications. A 12-inch center touchscreen takes pride of place and handles every major detail. The smaller screen sorts out all the auxiliary features that you’ll dive into when you really want to get to know the 20 VTX.
