Recognized as the official World Wakeboard Championship Tow Rig, this model is built on the V25 Wakehull platform. It integrates advanced features such as the launch system option and the innovative power wedge, enhancing wake quality and rider experience. The boat measures 21 feet 6 inches in length and 8 feet 2 inches in width, with a weight of approximately 3,600 pounds, requiring at least 26 inches of water depth to accommodate its bronze propeller and rudder.
Exterior Design and Deck Features
The VLX offers a spacious and functional exterior layout. At the bow, there is a large playpen area designed for tanning and lounging, equipped with contoured grab handles for both style and safety. Four integrated drink holders and stereo speakers are positioned to enhance comfort during warm weather outings. The cockpit features U-shaped seating with concealed storage compartments beneath the cushions, providing ample space for passengers and gear. At the transom, a full-width sun pad sits atop the engine box, adding both comfort and additional storage capacity. Both the V-Drive and inboard versions of the Wakesetter come equipped with Malibu's Illusion X Tower, a robust aluminum structure that supports customizable board racks and speaker sets. Optional removable swim platforms are available in either fiberglass or classic teak finishes, further enhancing the boat’s versatility and aesthetic appeal.
Interior and Seating Arrangements
The inboard version of the Wakesetter, known as the XTI, features a center-mounted engine configuration that improves handling and expands seating options. Above the engine, a dedicated tray allows for storage and warming of wet ski vests between runs. To starboard, a deep storage compartment accommodates bulky items conveniently. The aft seating area includes wraparound seating for up to four adults and a removable table, creating a comfortable social space. An entertainment console with a built-in beverage cooler is integrated into this zone, enabling passengers to control music and refreshments without leaving their seats.
Helm and Control Systems
The VLX’s helm is equipped with an electronic control system featuring digital accessory power switches and a shift-by-wire throttle, providing precise and responsive operation.
