2017 Malibu Wakesetter 24 MXZ Boat Review

DESIGN YOUR MALIBU >> Malibu Boats

Completely redesigned for 2017, Malibu took an already incredible boat and made some significant improvements to it. Created for the person who likes to bring along a large crew of friends and family and stay comfortable, this 24-footer has everything you could want out of a big wakeboat.

One fairly different feature than the traditional bow models is that it has a distinct and roomy pickle-fork bow. That wider design allows for more passengers to hang out and be comfortable up front, but since this boat is 24 feet long, there’s plenty of space in the lounge as well. If you want to watch the action, we highly recommend going for the Wake View seating option that takes the rear bench-style seat and converts it into stadiumlike seating to watch the riding.

This boat has a large footprint, so it takes a lot of weight to displace that amount of water. Luckily, that’s not a problem with the internal stock ballast along with the power plant that the 24 MXZ uses to get it out of the water. The surf wave behind the 24 MXZ is large and easily shaped with Surf Gate, and the wakes are big and rampy.

The MXZ line consistently delivers great wakes for wakeboarding and big, clean waves for wakesurfing.
