M-Line Hull
Featuring a higher freeboard, the M242 provides deeper seating, extensive storage, and a smooth ride — all without sacrificing your wave performance. Featured exclusively on all M-Series models, Surf Gate® Fusion integrates directly into the M-Line hull for a sleek & stealthy design that generates the cleanest surf swells in the industry.
Malibu G10+ Tower™
The Malibu G10+ Tower™ sets a new standard for innovation and quality. Elevate your on-the-water experience with the G10+ Tower Misters, PTM Clamp Force 3.0 Board Racks, overhead RGB lighting, and an expansive bimini to provide shaded comfort for the whole lounge. The G10+ Tower™ even features a motorized fold function that lets you raise or lower the fully loaded tower at the turn of a dial, making quick work of cruising under bridges or onto boat lifts.
All-New Malibu Command Center
Featuring an all-new ergonomic helm design and operating system, the all-new Malibu Command Center features an ultra-wide, low-profile screen complete with rider and driver profiles, watersports presets, and simplified functionality for a captain's experience like no other.
Max-Relax™ Sundeck Loungers
When it’s time to kick back and lounge in the sun, the Max-Relax Sundeck Loungers provide the best seat in the house. These loungers double as backrests for the rear seats or act as plush lounge seats when flipped up towards the interior, creating a premium social zone with inset cupholders, a stereo remote, and all-new Transom Misters to keep everyone cool and comfortable.
Wet Sounds Audio
The sound system in the M242 has no equal. Equipped with all-new Zero-8 Wet Sounds speakers and up to four available subwoofers, you can set the perfect tone for the day with balanced sound that fills every inch of the lounge with crisp, clean audio. Combine this with the all-new Rev-12 tower speakers for the ultimate audio experience.
MaxPivot Seat™
For those looking to create the ultimate social atmosphere, the MaxPivot Seat™ converts the wraparound lounge from a standard bench seat to a dining table to a rear-facing seat with a backrest and even a sun bed. You can even pull out the filler cushion to create an unobstructed path of Soft Grip from the swim platform to the lounge, so you never have to step on your upholstery or vinyl.
Shovel Nose Bow
The M242’s dominance starts with the signature shovel-nose bow, providing you with more space than ever before. Here, you will find diamond-pattern stitching on the vinyl accent panels, Soft Grip on the horizontal running surfaces, ultra-modern speaker grills, flip-down armrests, 8 integrated cup holders, and 2 phone holders with wireless charging.
Endless Customization Options
Build the boat of your dreams for perfect memories on the water. Customize your exterior based on your style including all-new color & customization options for 2025 — you can even match your tower hoop to your boat exterior. Don't forget to load up the interior with premium options including the MaxPivot™ Seat.
E-Z Stash Board Locker™
The E-Z Stash Board Locker provides ample storage for all of your watersports gear. The gullwing hatches feature gas-spring-assisted hinges for easy opening and closing and the walkway folds back to reveal a spacious wet-storage area. It’s quick and convenient to throw vests, boards and ropes in here after you ride.
