Malibu M240 Boats For Sale

The Malibu M240 is a 24-foot inboard wake boat built around Malibu's em line hull, seating up to 17 passengers across a wraparound lounge finished in leather-like vinyl. It sits at the top of the M-series, longer and heavier than the M220, with a 102-inch beam, a dry weight of 7,500 pounds, and an 86-gallon fuel tank that lets it stay out for a full weekend. The Malibu Boats M240 is widely placed against the Nautique G23 when shoppers cross-shop the segment, with its extra length and capacity being the main points of difference. Buyers looking at a Malibu M240 boat for sale should expect a triple-axle trailer with a depth alarm for loading and a parking brake.

Power comes from the supercharged GM Monsoon LT4, rated at 607 horsepower and 606 pound-feet of torque, marketed as the only four-star emissions certified supercharged engine in the class. The supercharger is standard rather than optional, which matters because the hull is designed to push serious ballast. The em line hull was tuned with a deadrise that chops through rough water yet keeps the wake clean, and it handles tight maneuvering through power wedge 3 with integrated stern turn. That water-cooled stern turn motor sits outside the hull for unlimited runtime, and Malibu states it cuts about 30% off the time needed to pick up a fallen rider, with control via a rocker switch on the throttle.

Wake and surf performance is driven by the Malibu Launch System 6, which holds six ballast tanks: four in the rear, one center, and one bow tank, totaling 3,200 pounds of subfloor ballast that fills in under three minutes. Combined with the 1,500 pounds of simulated ballast from power wedge 3, the M240 claims a total ballast impact of 4,700 pounds. The patented surf gate fusion uses a stainless steel plate that meshes with the running surface to hide the mechanicals while a taller gate cleans the water release. The result is a long, wide surf wave with a pocket measured near 14 feet, letting a surfer ride 5 to 10 feet further back than usual and reach as far as 25 feet behind the transom.

The helm uses the em line automotive-style layout with push-button start, wireless phone charging, heated seat controls, and an ergonomic power helm seat. Bow and stern cameras feed the screen so the captain keeps eyes around the boat without moving, and the ballast screen shows all six tank indicators. Audio is the Wet Sounds ultra premium package with 12 interior speakers, two subwoofers, and twin DSP amps, paired on tower boats with a GX power tower carrying four Rev 10 speakers. Misters on the tower run off a dedicated freshwater tank rather than lake water.

The cockpit centers on a multi-view wake bench with a table and rear-facing seat, a lean-back that seats three across facing the action, and a slide-out Yeti cooler reachable while the boat is moving without anyone standing. Flip-down boarding steps with soft grip protect the upholstery on both sides, and a flip-down swim step eases entry for kids and dogs. The bow uses a new design with extra-tall freeboard and a flip-up center seat that converts the space into a 360-degree playpen, though that forward area is a ballast tank with only a small cubby for storage. Rear hatches gain a second tier of storage tucked under the gunnel. One example offered for sale carried just 37.9 hours, used only in Lake Tahoe, with the 600-plus horsepower supercharged motor and minor cosmetic chips noted as the only flaws.
