“The [Malibu WakeSetter] 23LSV is the world's best-selling sports towboat model, period,” Malibu Australia general manager Ben Slater said.
“Improving on this is no small task, and the Malibu team has done an amazing job in designing this all-new 23LSV for 2021.
“Representing the perfect blend of performance, function and comfort – the 23LSV sits well respected within our LSV model line-up.
“I’m excited to begin manufacture of this new model shortly, where we’ll see families on the water for the beginning of summer.
“Our network of specialists is taking orders now, with display stock available in local showrooms from October onwards.”
New model onslaught
The Malibu WakeSetter 23LSV is the first of a number of rolling model updates that the brand plans to announce.
Malibu said the midsize Malibu WakeSetter 23LSV’s "big boat feel along with massive wake performance and sleek lines bring it into a class all on its own".
Buyers can configure the wake, surf and ski boat with either the Diamond Multi-Sport Hull to leverage all sporting disciplines, or the Wake Plus Hull to maximise wake performance for board sports.
"Combined with Malibu’s Power Wedge III and Surf Gate technology, wakes and waves can be dialled in to suit individual riders so that all abilities can experience the performance Malibu Boats’ name was built on," Malibu said.
Other features that are new for 2021 include more billet design accents, a redesigned LSV sound-system, and new G5 tower design with more storage options.
More comfort for all
In a nod to the comfort of everyone on board waiting to get out behind the Malibu WakeSetter 23LSV, the boat now has a system built into the GX tower that sprays a cooling mist of water.
Other changes include a new dash design to make it more ergonomic, flip-up seats with hinges positioned for more convenient under-seat storage access; flip-down rear entry steps; the redesigned Wet Sounds audio system, and a rear swim platform with integrated flip-down step.
No pricing has been announced.
Malibu's Albury, NSW factory produces numerous Malibu and Axis Wake Research models optimised for the Australian market.
