Malibu LSV Boats For Sale

Malibu LSV boats for sale span the Wakesetter LSV family of luxury sport V-drive towboats, with the 23 LSV at the center as the world's best-selling towboat for more than 20 years. The Malibu Wakesetter 23 LSV measures 23 feet long, carries a seating capacity of 16, and is built for families that ski in the morning and surf and wakeboard in the afternoon. Around it sit the compact 22 LSV and the larger 26 LSV, whose contoured sides and curved rub rail styling were carried down into the 2024 23 LSV redesign. Buyers shopping the Malibu boat LSV line are choosing a mid-sized hull that handles big chop while still carrying the upholstery, lighting, and tower features expected of a Wakesetter.

The 2024 Malibu boats 23 LSV weighs 5,700 pounds, holds 65 gallons of fuel, and offers total available ballast over 4,400 pounds, listed at 4,435 pounds including Power Wedge 3. A 2020 Malibu 23 LSV runs the Monsoon 6.2L engine rated at 450 horsepower, measures 102 inches wide, weighs 5,100 pounds dry, and seats 15. Both generations let you pick between the Wake Plus hull for the cleanest wakes and surf waves or the Diamond hull for stronger slalom and ski performance. On the water the 23 LSV surfs well at 11 mph with Power Wedge 3, throwing a wave with the volume and push to carve turns and work on airs.

At the helm of the Malibu boats Wakesetter 23 LSV, the Malibu Command Center pairs a large main screen angled for at-a-glance speed and water sports settings with a 7-inch touchscreen for lighting, music, and customization. Power Wedge 3 lifts and shapes the wake, Surf Gate builds the wave on either side, and rider presets load the boat's setup by sport with one button. Surf Band adds wrist control of Surf Gate, Power Wedge 3, tower speaker volume, and boat speed, and the Go Home button drains ballast and stows underwater gear at the end of the day. The 2020 boat's helm uses a 7-inch touchscreen command center for radio, ballast, and engine stats.

The deck layout reflects the versatility the LSV 23 is known for. A transom walkthrough keeps you off the vinyl, the redesigned transom seats lounge back over the water, and an optional flip-down swim step makes reboarding easy for swimmers and dogs. The 2024 bow adds the Natalie seat that fits three adults up front and doubles as a wind dam, while the cockpit offers hand-stitched vinyl, hinged storage under nearly every seat, and the optional Max Pivot seat that converts to a bed, rear-facing seating, or a snack table. Malibu soft-grip flooring covers the gunwales for sure footing.

The standard G5 tower folds on gaseous shocks, holds up to four speakers, and color-matches the tubing; an electric G10 Plus tower folds down by turning a dial and adds optional misters and overhead lighting. A 2020 Malibu boat 23 LSV uses the G3.5 folding tower with a Wet Sounds package built around Rev 10 speakers, a subwoofer, and amps. The compact Malibu Wakesetter 22 LSV shares the traditional bow, walkover transom, and Wake Plus hull, packs about 4,000 pounds of ballast, and on newer model years runs a 15.8-inch ultrawide touchscreen with an 8-inch support screen, a power rise-and-slide helm seat, heated steering wheel, and three-coil wireless charging.

When weighing a Malibu Wakesetter ski boat purchase, match the hull to your sports — Wake Plus for surf and wakeboarding, Diamond for skiing — and confirm tower, ballast, and helm screen options, since these drive much of the difference between model years on the used and new market.
