Industry-Leading Innovations
Pop-Up Ski Pylon
The pop-up tow pylon gives you even more watersports options, and it’s recessed so it doesn’t get in the way. When it’s time to use it, just pull up, twist and you’re ready to pull a tuber or slalom skier.
All-New Malibu Command Center & Operating System
The all-new 2025 Malibu Boats Command Center features an ultra-wide, low-profile screen, richer detail, deeper functionality, and more luxurious touches than ever before. Complete with rider and driver profiles, an all-new ergonomic helm design, and simplified functionality, it truly has never been easier to operate your Malibu.
Short Wing Windshield
The skiers talked, and Malibu listened. The Short Wing Windshield allows the driver to lean over and have better direct communication with the skier as he or she is getting picked up for the next pull. It also allows the tower to be moved forward so there’s no chance of the rope hitting the tower when a skier is going extra wide.
Malibu Cut Diamond Hull
Malibu is the only wakeboat company that gives you sport-specific hulls to choose from. The 20 VTX's T-Cut Diamond Hull brings you optimal performance for water skiing, wakesurfing and wakeboarding to make it the ultimate crossover boat.
