To say this watersports machine is big is an understatement. She’s 25 feet long with a full beam of eight-point-five feet. Scan the seating and you will note room for 19!
It takes power to move this weight around. Our tester’s optional Monsoon 6.2L 575 sure delivered. The 25LSV reached 20 miles per hour in just six-point-five seconds. The supercharger’s ability to deliver awesome power and instant torque at low rpm makes this possible.
Malibu’s touch screen command centre can set custom profiles for each rider with speed parameter, wake size, ballast settings and other selections programmed into the boat.
The new analog control dial for the Power Wedge, Surf Gate, speed and stereo system mean adjustments can be effortlessly dialed in on the fly. Inline with the latest high end automotive info and entertainment systems, the command centre delivers precise data, sound and navigation info clearly.
Press the “Go Home” button and the system dumps the ballast, retracts both the Power Wedge and Surf Gate, and then sets the speed control at 20 mph. The only time the driver relinquishes complete control is when a rider takes wireless control of the wake with the Surf Band - a remote wake control system riders adjust from their wrist. Other upgrades for 2016 include a rear view camera that displays the action behind the boat for the driver and remote camera mounts for GoProcameras.
The interior is luxurious with room to spread out. Seating wraps around the cockpit, containing storage and a cooler. Multiple base cushions flip up creating aft facing lounges. Smart design has led to the Wakeview transom seat that hinges into the cockpit, creating the best seat in the house.
Topped off with the G4 Black Illusion tower with the Wet Sounds speaker option, stainless accents and hardware, LED lighting throughout, and so many more detailed touches really make Malibu a serious high-end player tow sports player.
