A Step Beyond.

At Malibu, we have never had it in us to follow. That’s why we have blazed new trails on our own and built a reputation at the top of the water sports industry. We’re not just at the top in sales, we’re at the top in innovative contributions.

Our original mission statement has stood in good stead: “Build the best boat and have fun doing it.” We continue to adhere to that mission, which is why creativity is encouraged, retail customers are welcomed to our factories, and our company is employee-owned. We realized a long time ago that innovation comes from interest and enthusiasm. Embrac-ing these traits has led Malibu to win 11 Boat of the Year awards, 12 Product Excellence Awards and fi le three U.S. Patents along the way to our success. Did we mention the 11 World Record performances set behind our boats?

Read on. Find out why Malibu’s commitment to design innovation, quality and customer relations leads to an exceptional company with exceptional products.

Malibu Boats, a step beyond.

It’s hard to take in the breadth of our detailing. Exclusive 38 oz. G&T Marine vinyl shrouds tri-ply interior foam, providing multiple densities of support to comfort and eliminate sags. The sensual lines of the interior are punctuated by the precise seam alignment connecting the invit-ing seating areas. The premium nylon carpeting invites toe wiggling pleasure with its plush feel and tough bounce-back ca-pability. The combination con-firms Malibu is the right choice. The only choice.

It’s easy to get the big things right. The difference lies in the details. For Malibu Boats that means design based on the intricacies of ergonomics and comfort. In 2005 our at-tention to these details has expanded exponentially.

We have pushed our interiors a step beyond. Malibu dashes are not just a standard feature anymore, they are a showcase detail. Individually hand-wrapped and avail-able in 12 color combinations, the 2005 dashes are a style statement. The passenger side dash in the 21.5 footers has been built up, hand-wrapped and hollowed out to house a huge 1.5 cubic foot locking storage cubby complete with a 12-volt power point and a slip-less rubber mat. We have thought of everything.

one. The new standard fl ip-up bolster seat elevates the driver to a new vantage point, increases visibility and re-moves all doubt when obstacles come into question on the water. Safety is always foremost in our minds.

two. Our new billet dash insert is machined from a solid piece of aluminum, then chromed. Now standard in all Wakesetter series models, it is a shining demonstration of the level of refi nement to which Malibu has ascended with the 2005 model line up. It may seem like just a small detail, but at Malibu superior craftsmanship knows no boundaries.

STRENGTH. IT COMES FROM WITHIN.

A fi ne exterior is only half the story of an exceptional boat. It’s only complete when what doesn’t show equals the quality of what does. In the case of Malibu Boats, what you don’t see is the patented Fiberglass Engine Chassis System (FibECS). FibECS is chemically bonded to the inte-rior of the hull at a molecular level with Weld-On®, to achieve unibody construction. The engine is through-bolted, not tap mounted, directly to FibECS at eight separate attachment points to in-sure level, vibration-free engine operation and to disperse load equally over a greater area. We refuse to compromise the structural integrity of your boat. FibECS also uses active air induction to funnel clean, cool air to the engine for increased performance. It shelters the boat’s wiring looms from the extremes of a marine environment. Proven innovations like this have made Mal-ibu Boats the number one tow boat manufacturer in the world with zero failures of more than 24,000 FibECS reinforced Malibu boats in operation today.

Laminates.

From multiple layers of hand laid bi-directional and tri-directional fi berglass to the industry-leading ceramic coring, Malibu boats are built to extremes using the fi nest materials available.

We are not willing to relinquish control over the design and construction of signature elements. Malibu’s patented swivel-head pylon, like many other key Malibu parts, is built in house by Malibu employee-owners to guarantee reliabil-ity and improve production effi ciency. Tested to resist up to 2,000 pounds of pull, the swivel-head pylon extends the life of your rope by swiveling with the slalom skier at the command of a dual needle bearing core. Available in chrome or standard brushed aluminum, the swiv-el-head pylon is just another example of Malibu construction, a step beyond.

Swivel-Head Pylon.

Our close working relationship with Medallion Instrumentation has allowed Malibu Boats to produce one of the most visible and accurate gauge clusters in the industry. Measuring 5 inches in diameter, these Malibu/Medallion gauges are servo driven for extreme accuracy and constructed to stand the test of time. En-circled with a stylish chrome bezel these eye-catching gauges supply up-to-the-second information.

Medallion Gauges.

Malibu Sound Suppression Technology.

Walk softly and carry a big stick. Or drive a well constructed boat. Silence denotes precision and with precision comes power. Malibu boats are classifi ed as strong silent types thanks to the high caliber of their components. Our exclu-sive Malibu Sound Suppression Technology (MSST) lines the laminate of almost every Malibu model and eliminates prop thrust vibration and drive train noise. Our Space Age Com-posite Flooring System is engineered for longevity as well as noise restraint. Fused with the Fiberglass Engine Chassis System (FibECS) the Space Age Floor plays its part in uni-body construction and adds even more rigidity to a Malibu boat. You also won’t hear a peep from mechanical fasteners working loose in a Malibu. Deck and hulls are blueprinted for an exact fi t and then welded together with WeldOn® the leader in marine structural bonding.

CORE power

The Wedge.

Malibu’s exclusive hydrofoil technology, the Wedge, is more convenient to use than portable ballast for hull displacement, and safer. Creating approximately 1000-pounds of down force on-demand, the Wedge has played a pivotal part in securing Malibu four of the last fi ve “Towboat of the Year” awards. Recognized as “Impact Design of the Year” by one wakeboard-ing magazine, the Wedge increases the wake without adding weight, without exceeding your boat’s weight capacity limits and without a signifi cant decrease in handling. Naturally, the Wedge is one of the most popular Malibu boat accessories. Pol-ished Stainless Wedge also available.

Our desire for powerfully versatile water sports per-formance has led to industry-fi rst innovations like the Wedge and a new, patent-pending, Adjustable Rud-der. Our search for accurate on-demand information ignited the development of Malibu’s Ballast Monitoring System (BMS) to give professionals and aspiring pros

the tools they need to push their abilities. Precisely ma-chined CNC propellers and laser-straight Gorilla track-ing fi ns join the list of Malibu’s performance-enhancing originality. All this performs at the command of Indmar Marine Engines, the power behind 10 of the past 13 “Tow Boat of the Year” awards.

the all-new

adjustable RUDDER

Every Malibu boat is primed for peak performance right off the fac-tory fl oor with a custom calibrated Indmar engine. Built to exceed the highest industry benchmarks for horse power and torque, each engine is rigorously tested on a dyno, before it is installed. These tests verify calibration and push the engine to the levels required of the world’s top performing water sports tow boat.

one. The 320 LCR (320 HP) is the new multi-port fuel injected standard in Malibu’s engine line-up,. Malibu ‘standard’ means power. With 320 horses and 375 foot-pounds of torque, its core is the latest Delphi ECM (engine computer module) running the latest software, all custom-calibrated by Indmar. The 320 LCR is programmed to deliver the power band skiers and riders want, plus the classic turn-key starts, unhesitating dependability and fuel effi ciency that only Indmar’s MPI can deliver. This engine offers Vortec’s high-fl ow cylinder heads with straighter intake ports for more power, and roller valve lifters for reduced friction and improved performance. Like all Indmar engines, it is built for the long run.

two. The Monsoon 340 (340 HP) delivers out of the hole power with 390 foot-pounds of torque. This muscular machine is a customized version of GM’s Vortec 5700 and is specifi cally designed to push Malibu’s performance hulls. The Indmar ETX one-piece tuned exhaust manifolds prove this point. Match that with the high-lift roller cam and free-breathing Vortec heads and you have one of the most powerful, dependable small blocks, ever built. Operating under the precise control of an Indmar custom cali-brated ECM, Monsoon 340 delivers a tall, broad power curve that meets the demands of discriminating water sports competitors.

three. The New Hammerhead 383 (400 HP) is a “stroker” engine and the most powerful 5.7L small-block V8 ever developed for inboard use. When the hammer falls this engine cranks out 400 horse power and 420 foot-pounds of torque. Capped with Malibu’s exclusive intake plenum, the new Hammerhead sports Indmar’s high-fl ow multi-port induction system, GM’s famed FastBurn aluminum heads and an aggressive Indmar-spec cam combined with 1.6:1 roller rockers for less friction, more power. Add Indmar’s ETX performance exhaust manifolds along with Indmar’s custom ECM calibration and you can’t lose.

four. The Malibu Corvette LS1 (375 HP) is the fi rst-ever marinization of the aluminum Gen III GM engine types. A Malibu/In-dmar collaborative development, it delivers 9% more overall power than the automotive version, thanks to Indmar’s proprietary ECM calibration and its unique Tri-Y, dyno-tuned exhaust system that virtually eliminates backpressure. The Malibu Corvette LS1 puts out 375 horses and 390 foot-pounds of torque with a tall and broad power band. This aluminum engine is fuel effi cient, low in mass and offers the effi ciency of closed cooling.

fi ve. The Vortec 8100 (425 HP) is the “baddest” boy on the block-- big block that is. Its 496 cubic-inch stature houses as much as 450 horse power and 525 foot-pounds of torque. 9.1:1 high-compression Vortec heads turn out more usable power from every fuel charge with their straight fl owing matched port design. The MPFI aluminum intake manifold bolsters cylinder-to-cylinder airfl ow distribution to achieve cleaner, more dependable combustion. Finely tuned plenum runners and the coil-near-plug ignition system (distributorless) enhance the already massive low-end torque, while delivering awesome power to top-end.

Gorilla Fins were designed for Malibu’s powerful line of V-drive boats. These monstrous 120 square-inch fi ns plunge deep into the water beneath the boat and offer an oversized surface area to allow a level of tracking and handling only matched by Direct-Drive boats. The sheer size and design of these fi ns steadies the boat and creates a rock solid center pivot point, thereby improving turning radius and overall maneuverability even with a rider cutting hard behind the boat.

Gorilla Fins.

All Malibu boats are born to perform, but the goal is not just high performance. It is on-demand, consistent, controllable yet unrestrained performance. We have no tolerance for half measures. It is this dedication to power and performance that has driven Malibu Boats to 11 world records since 1999 and put us at the top tier of the water sports industry.

Find control exactly the way you want it with Malibu’s new Adjustable Rudder. It is a versatile innovation for those who are serious about their slalom, but do not want to sacrifi ce a fi nger-tip controlled leisurely cruise. Exclusive to Malibu, this adjustable load rudder is standard on all models and can be adjusted with the quick turn of an Allen screw. Set it to neu-tral for a “no load” day of wakeboarding and running the lake. When it is time to run the course, customize the load in either direction for the perfect pull.

Ballast Monitoring System.

Malibu, in partnership with Medallion Instrumentation, has de-veloped a new Ballast Monitoring System (BMS), standard in Wakesetter VLX, Wakesetter LSV and Wakesetter 23XTi. The BMS extends the benefi t of the Malibu Launch System (MLS). Ballast tanks are measured in quarter tank increments and can be moni-tored on the LCD display in the speedometer. With as much as 1,250 lbs of ballast to keep track of, Malibu has introduced an in-dash Ballast Monitoring System (BMS) to allow riders to fi ne tune the placement of weight in each area of the boat. Riders agree, this type of detailed system information is invaluable and the fi rst of its kind in the water sports industry.

one. Big enough to accommodate all of the gear you can carry, the 25 LSV’s rear storage can be accessed in two convenient ways, through a locking hatch in the rear sun deck or with the fl ip of a switch at the dash. The dash switch sets a hydraulic ram into motion that raises the entire rear seating and sun deck area. Conve-nience is the key.

two. The Sunscape offers 34 cubic feet of bow seating, the largest bow available from Malibu, and swivel seating for observers as well as the driver. An optional, onboard, pump out Port-O-Potty and an enormous 80 gallon fuel capacity mean you can take the Sunscape 25 out for the day and not be concerned about returning to the dock before you’re ready.

three. Both versions include the extra touch-es, such as premium snap-in Berber carpet, built-in Malibu Sound Suppression Technology (MSST) for a quieter ride, standard six-speaker Sony stereo, oversize cup holders, removable rear lounge table and much, more. This boat is for big dreamers who expect their dreams to come true.

one. Malibu asks a lot of big wake apparatus and the new optional CFT Blade Tower delivers. Our designers joined aerospace composite engineers to construct the industry’s fi rst carbon graphite wakeboard tower. Known for its incredible strength-to-weight ratio, carbon fi ber has been enabling participants to push the limits of extreme sport for years. Malibu delivers the advantage of this technology to extreme wa-ter sports along with a set of four 6” X 9” Sony Xplode speakers and a set of two racks, standard.

two. The new chromed billet dash insert, standard on all 2005 Wake-setter Series models, frames the 5" Medallion gauges with just the right amount of bling.

three. Malibu is attuned to the equipment needs of hard core riders, and with the Wakesetter LSV we offer 15 cubic feet of locking storage on either side of the rear engine as well as a 96 quart ice chest con-cealed in the lounge area. All your boating supplies can be completely and safely stowed.

A WAKEBOARD BOAT THAT SMOOTHES THE ROUGH EDGES

With more stock ballast than any boat ever built, and a new, in-dash ballast monitoring system, the Wakesetter LSV en-ables riders to fi ne tune the placement of weight in four ballast areas of the boat. The hidden bal-last tanks do not interfere with either equipment

storage or passenger space and comfort. The bow tank holds 350 pounds, the mid-ship tank has the capacity to swell to 500 pounds and the two rear tanks, hidden beneath the fl oor of the rear storage area, offer 200 pounds each. That’s 1,250 pounds of ballast standard.

When it comes to natural se-lection, the Wakesetter VLX has clearly evolved beyond its not-so-humble beginnings as the wake riding boat of choice. It has leapt ahead of the pretenders and attained the status of legend in 2005. Sporting a completely rede-signed hull and deck, the Wakesetter VLX now measures a full 21' 6" from bow to transom with a 98" beam. But the reality of these stats is what created a legend – gravity defying wakes and an awe-inspiring ride.

History Rewritten Luxury is normally overlooked in a hardcore wakeboard boat. Enter the new Wakesetter VLX. The interior has been expanded to accommodate 11 people and redesigned to include panels of custom-izable accent colors that shoot through the comforting 38oz G&T upholstery. The passenger-side dash has been reshaped for 2005 to house a huge locking 1.5 cubic foot glove box which gives the dash a stylish new look, more storage and added security for valuables.

Looks can be deceiving however, as the excessive interior amenities belie the workhorse nature of the VLX. Topped by the new Titan Series III tower, the optional Illusion X or CFT Blade carbon fi ber tower, the Wakesetter VLX looks as good as it performs. As WaterSki magazine says, this boat “is world-class.”

two. Imagine the inconvenience of a center-mounted en-gine. The traditional center-mounted engine is no longer a deterrent to family boating, thanks to Malibu’s unique take on space utilization. Malibu took another look at this poten-tially off-putting design and turned it into a usable space by creating a center sundeck, effectively eliminating any objec-tion to the engine position by turning it into part of the social design.

three. Now imagine being able to keep your wet suits and towels warm. Malibu did, and our imagination resulted in the above engine storage beneath the center sundeck.

All Things Are Possible

With A Malibu PerspectiveWith room for 14 friends, the Wakesetter 23 XTi obligingly offers three, distinct social areas. While some may prefer to stretch their legs in the spacious bow area, others may opt for the three-person observer seat. The social crowd, however, will usually collect in the rear wrap around lounge, with the conversational connectors enjoying the spotlight on the center sundeck.

one. Malibu’s engineers have turned the center-mounted engine into an asset, rather than an obstruction. Now it’s a huge sundeck that houses not only the engine, but also a 15 cubic foot storage space ideal for skis, vests, boards, backpacks, you name it. The space above the engine even has a purpose, keeping towels, wet-suits or even pizzas warm.

two. With convenience in mind, the Sunsetter 23 XTi sports two pairs of stainless steel pull-up cleats. Ideally situated for tying up to a houseboat or a dock, the cleats neatly retract when not in use. The same is true of the pop-up pylon. When not in use, it retracts so as not to interfere with interior comfort. When needed, though, it can withstand as much as 2,000 pounds of pull.

A Boat That Delivers Thrilling Performance For All

From low, smooth, slalom wakes to height-defying wakeboard wakes, the Sunsetter 23 XTi meets all challenges head on and delivers superior water sports performance without sacrifi cing comfort.

The wraparound rear seating of the Sunsetter 23 XTi, with removable table, honors the social nature of boating by encouraging conversa-tion and camaraderie. Room enough for fi ve to seven adults and a very good time.

The Wakesetter 21 XTi has been totally re-tooled to be even better for 2005. Despite past accolades like “the best of both worlds,” Mal-ibu engineers felt it was possible to improve this versatile cross-trainer. First on the list was increas-ing the size. Growing the V-Drive to a full 21.5 feet

long and 8.2 feet wide immediately opened up new possibilities for interior comfort. No worries though – the new and improved Wakesetter 21 XTi hasn’t forgotten its wakeboarding roots. The Wakesetter 21 XTi continues to rip huge wakes and execute precision maneuvers.

one. The increased size of the Wakesetter 21 XTi has enabled Malibu engineers to expand cargo and seating space with great style. Take, for instance, the new 48-quart insulated ice chest. Keep refreshments cold or use it as a self-draining storage compartment for dripping rash guards or swimsuits.

two. New, polished stainless steel engine vents transform an otherwise run-of-the-mill boat feature into a sleek design element.

Incorporates Bigger And Better Into Better Than Ever Surely the best thing about the Wakesetter 21 XTi is its ability to grow with your family’s riding abilities without sacrifi cing performance. Keep your early morning ski runs as they are, but introduce intermediate level wakes when you fi ll the 500 lb. center ballast. Deploy the Wedge and you immediately upgrade to an advanced level wake. Use both the ballast and the Wedge and you will face challenging, professional level wakes as long as you like.

If you are passionate about having world-class slalom wakes, yet you want the versatility of a multi-sport boat, the Sunsetter 21 XTi is an ex-cellent option to suit your needs. The Sunsetter 21 XTi couples the roomi-

ness of a Sport-V hull with the control of Direct-Drive to offer nimble performance that pleases everyone. Re-tooled to offer more interior space, the 2005 Sunsetter 21 XTi sports a bold new look as well as upgraded amenities.

one. The ergonomically sensitive driver’s con-sole features a two-tone, hand-wrapped dash, oversized, 5-inch servo gauges for easy view-ing, and an Italian designed Issotta steering wheel and throttle knob. Illuminated rocker switches are within an arm’s reach. The entire design combines to give the driver’s console true sports car styling and control.

two. The entire interior of the Sunsetter 21 XTi has been reconfi gured for more space and convenience. A new, 48-quart ice chest gar-ners attention in the rear refreshment console, which enables passengers to control their envi-ronment including the optional stereo, heater and hot water shower controls.

three. Beauty in motion. That’s the effect of the graceful new design of the Sunsetter 21 XTi, with its redesigned 21.5 foot V25 Dia-mond Hull and a perfectly balanced 320 horse-power multi-port fuel injected center-mounted engine. The combination of lift from the hull and precision handling from the powertrain di-rected by zero-friction throttle cables, rack and pinion steering and CNC machined propeller with adjustable rudder scream quality as this boat passes by.

A Multi-Talented Design for Multi-Discipline Water Sports Performance

The new Sunsetter 21 XTi incorporates Sport-V space and Direct-Drive control to satisfy families who seek world-class slalom wakes plus multi-sport versatility and a comfortable interior.

The Sunsetter LXi was already the largest tow boat ever sanctioned for record-capable USA Water Ski tournaments, but now its been resized for additional comfort and space. A full 21'6" long with a 98" beam, the 2005 Sunsetter LXi offers more room, with the same outstanding slalom performance. Now big enough to accommodate 12 adults, this sporting sedan of a boat takes on all the gear and company you need.

Unbridled athleticism. Unending space. Thumping with a 320 horse power multi-port fuel injected LCR engine standard, this slalom machine will shoot you through the course with ease. Aided by its new 21.5 V25 Diamond Hull, the smooth action of zero-friction throttle cables, the control of rack and pinion steering, the customized pull of the new adjustable rudder and the arm stretching hole shot of the CNC machined propeller, the Sunsetter LXi is your skiing dream come true. Did we mention there’s room enough for you to bring your whole family along?

Deck Base: White, Deck Main: Ebony, Deck Accent: Yellow

While the Sunsetter LXi is a lock for serious slalom skiers who are looking to accommodate their families, add-ing the optional wakeboarding fea-tures like a Titan Series III Tower, the Wedge and Mid-Ship Malibu Launch System (MLS) turn it into a respect-able wake machine.

one. One of the benefi ts of the Sunsetter LXi’s extra space is a redesigned observer’s seat that offers enough space for three adults without cramping the driver’s leg room. A new 1.5 cubic foot locking glove box has been added, housed in a two-tone, hand wrapped observer side dash. Malibu distinguishes itself in the details. This new dash complements the driver’s side and together they are now available with the Sport Shroud option that offers colors such as Yellow, Regal, Reuben, Dark Blue and Midnight Blue to enhance the interior design.

two. An all-new locking split lid trunk enables passen-gers to access their gear from inside the boat or from the swim step when they are ready to switch from spectator to competitor.

The Response LXi has become the industry standard for world class three-event tow boats. The Response LXi was the power behind the highest sla-lom cut in tournament history at the 2004 Malibu Open, 1 at 41 off. The friskiness of a sports car coupled with the posh interior

of a luxury sedan make this an irresistible option for professional level water sports athletes and a satisfying ride for their fam-ilies. It’s a thoroughbred on the water. As WaterSki magazine raved, “It’s a look that’s tough to match in any luxury cruiser, let alone a world-class ski boat.”

one. The Response LXi comes standard with Malibu’s patented Swivel Head Pylon. Tested to resist up to 2,000 pounds of pull, the pylon extends the life of your rope by swiveling with the slalom skier thanks to the smooth motion of a dual needle bearing core. Capped by a Mal-ibu-sun branded chrome top, it is an instantly recognizable symbol of excellence. Also avail-able in chrome, pictured here.

two. Everything about the Response LXi speaks to its superior design. The two-tone, hand-wrapped dash elegantly embraces the set of chrome bezeled 5" servo mechanical driven Medallion gauges. It is set off by the illuminat-ed rocker switches and Italian designed Issotta steering wheel and throttle knob.

If you are looking for a world-class three-event ski boat, there’s no need to look beyond the Response LXi. It has all the required features, plus the extras only available through Malibu.

FROM THE OUTSIDE

THE RESPONSE LXI

SCREAMS SPEED.

The sleek, customizable gel coat scheme ac-curately refl ects the sensation of driving this precision machine, with its nimble SV23 Di-amond Hull and the thrust of the 320 horse power multi-port fuel injected LCR engine. No matter how you view it, from the driver’s seat, from the edges of the slalom course, or from the land, the Reponse LXi is poetry in motion.

Space and Grace Even Under the Pressures of Competition

If you are serious about slalom skiing, you already know about the Response LX. The only boat in history to receive three Powerboat magazine “Tow Boat of the Year” awards, the Response LX has made its mark on history. One of the only open bows ever to tow multiple world records, the Response LX is by far the best value in its class. This boat has pulled 11 world records since 1999 and is ever ready to add another. With a Response LX, you may set your own record.

Seize the day. One buoy at a time.

You don’t have to be fi rst on the water to appreciate the Response LX, but chances are you will see plenty of them out for that sunrise slalom run. One of the most widely used

USA Water Ski sanctioned tow boats in the world, the ex-treme maneuverability of the Response LX makes it a top choice for serious three-event skiers and barefooters.

one. Drivers always feel in control of the Response LX, but passen-gers might need a little extra leverage negotiating the thrillingly tight turns it can execute. That’s why Malibu has added stainless steel custom grab rails for extra safety. Hold on tight, the Response doesn’t like to be reigned in and neither will you after you get a taste of its capabilities.

two. The storage trunk offers room enough to store skis and wakeboards so you can be as ready to go as the Response LX. It will get you through the slalom course with record-breaking precision then allow you to change it up and engage the optional Wedge for a few beginning wakeboard sessions.

There’s a difference be-tween people who seek in-expensive options based only on price and those who seek true value for the price they pay. Cheap costs you more in the long run, as you discover the basics you thought you had covered were not included. With the Malibu Ride Series you get the same Malibu quality built into higher priced models at a price typical-ly reserved for pretenders.

a genuine bargain for genuine quality

one. Malibu Boats new iRide is available with removable Launch Seats that allow two more people to face the rider and share in the wakeboarding action. Upholstered to match the boat’s custom interior, Malibu Launch Seats also give riders the ability to customize the passenger weight on either side of the engine box for a tailored ride.

two. All Ride Series boats come with the same, stylish, chromed billet aluminum interior emblems found on Mal-ibu’s most luxurious models. All Ride Series boats are built to the same exacting standards as other Malibu models be-cause we take pride in everything that wears our logo.

Choose an iRide, the inboard version of the Ride Series, and you will own the fi rst entry performance wake-board boat with standard multi-port fuel injection, proven Malibu quality construction and world class wake characteristics. And you won’t break the bank.

The vRide addresses the entry level wakeboarding crowd with a high quality, world class Sport-V wakeboard boat. The vRide joins the iRide on the two member list of entry class tow boats with standard multi-port fuel injection and the eight attachment point strength of Malibu’s Fiberglass Engine Chassis System (FibECS). The vRide is also built with Malibu Sound Suppression Technology (MSST) for a quiet ride that is comparable to a Luxury Sport-V.

The Ride Series boats are built on the same SV23 wake hull that has been propelling wakeboarders to record heights for years. Optimize the wakeboarding expe-rience with the standard 500 pounds of ballast in the center Malibu Launch System, the Gorilla fi ns on the vRide for tracking and add an optional Wedge for an ex-tra 1,000 pounds of downthrust. Only your wallet will know the difference between your Malibu vRide and higher priced models. No matter where it rings out on the cash register, Malibu stands behind every model it makes with a Transferable Limited Lifetime Warranty.
