Malibu Wakesetter Boats For Sale

The Malibu Wakesetter is a towed-watersports inboard built around two systems: Surf Gate, which offsets the boat to form a clean surf wave on either side, and the Power Wedge, a transom-mounted foil that pulls the hull deeper into the water to size the wake up or down. The line spans several hulls, including the Wakesetter 21 VLX, 22 VLX, 22 MXZ, 24 MXC and the M230, so shoppers looking at Malibu Boats Wakesetter models can match length to their crew and their sport. A Wakesetter Malibu boat suits families who want one boat to wakeboard, wakesurf, foil, slalom ski and cruise, scaling the wake from a learner-friendly ramp to a large, powerful wall.

For surfing, the numbers stay low and adjustable. On the M230 a long, open-faced wave forms at roughly 11 to 11.8 mph with full ballast, and the Power Wedge runs through settings one to five; wedge three at about 11.6 mph produces height plus a long pocket. Newer hulls use Surf Gate Fusion built into the hull, and an optional Surf Band lets the rider change speed, audio volume, surf side and wedge number from the water. The 22 VLX makes a surprisingly long, friendly wave at 10.8 mph with the wedge at one and Surf Gate deployed, with a wide sweet spot that works for beginners through advanced riders.

As a Malibu Wakesetter ski boat, the 21 VLX pulls slalom at 28 and 32 off from the rear pylon; the bump is firmer at 28, but it stays consistent and rewards a recreational skier on glassy water. For wakeboarding, the M230 throws a clean wake at 18 to 19.5 mph with zero ballast and the rope at 55 to 60 feet, and dropping the wedge to lift flattens the landing zone for anyone learning to clear the wake. The 22 MXZ, a slightly smaller sibling of the 24 MXC, builds a large wake with a defined lip at 23 mph with full ballast, wedge at one and a 75-foot rope, giving vertical pop with a forgiving transition.

Inside, the 24 MXC carries an Indmar 5.7L Monsoon engine marketed as 450 but producing 400 horsepower, with a larger prop that planes quickly while trimming top-end speed to around 40 mph. The helm runs an LCD touchscreen with quick-key controls, a GPS-based speedometer that also reads a paddle-wheel source, plus a power-adjustable, heated captain's seat with cabin heat vents and a tilt steering wheel. Audio is extensive, with twelve speakers and a sub, dual batteries with an A/B switch, and a plug-and-play ballast system using 550-pound bags that the computer fills to 100 percent and stops automatically.

The deck and tower are built for storage and durability. The MXC has a teak-style swim platform, stainless cup holders, a folding observer kick-back seat, a center-aisle walkthrough transom seat, dock and bow lights, a fresh-water flush hookup and a raw-water strainer for saltwater use. The folding tower drops with one person and carries board racks that clamp tight when closed, and the bimini and full cover store the boat between outings. Used Malibu Wakesetter boats for sale span model years and engine choices, so weigh hull length, ballast capacity and wedge equipment against the sports you run most when comparing Malibu Boats Wakesetter listings.
