Well-maintained ski/wakeboard boat! Ready for a new owner!
The Malibu Wakesetter 21 VLX is a 21-foot V-drive inboard towboat designed for wakeboarding, tubing, and recreational watersports. It's built by Malibu Boats and was positioned as a sporty yet family-friendly wakeboat with versatility.
The VLX is a V-drive layout ... the goal here is to maximize the space of the cockpit and shift the weight balance of the boat to the rear.
Despite being 21 in length, the V-drive format frees up cockpit space since the engine is in the stern.
This "fresh water only" boat is ideal for a family or group who want to do wakeboarding, wake surfing, tubing, and general cruising on a lake or calm water. It can carry 8-11 people, and with ballast and a tower set up, you can throw a solid wake. At the same time, its 21' size makes it more manageable (for towing, storage, and docking) than larger boats. It's a good "all-around wake boat" rather than a full tournament‐spec monster.
While we will always attempt to provide you with a TRUE representation of every vessel we market, during any purchase from Pop you will be encouraged to schedule an inspection from an independent, accredited surveyor and every purchase WILL ALWAYS BE subject to your satisfaction with the results from your independent survey and your own personal trial run.
We have several more Sea Ray, Mastercraft, Tige, and Axis vessels for sale. If you're in the San Diego, Chula Vista, Irvine, or Moreno Valley areas, please contact us to let us know what you're looking for and we'll get back with you today about any other wake/ski boat options we have locally that may meet your needs.
