MALIBU WAKESETTER VLX

Now here’s a boat that leaves nothing to be desired. The Malibu Wakesetter VLX has everything a rider could ever want, from an open social area to its large and well shaped wake. “This boat is a professional riders dream,” said Amy Mauzy, Marketing Director for Malibu Boats. “ It comes standard with the MLS (Malibu Launch System) which adds 900 lbs of weight in a center locker sack and 2 solid tanks on either side of the engine in the back. This allows you to customize the weight distribution based upon the number of people or weight in the back.” It also comes with an Optical Illusion tower, a fine blending of form and function. Said Mauzy, “We wanted it to go along with the sleek look of the Malibu and allowing the driver to see a lot more and to concentrate more on the tow path for the rider. This tower also has a symmetrical relationship with the line of the windshield.” The Wedge is an option on the Wakesetter VLX.
