23 LSV: Best-Selling Wake & Surf Boat

Truth On The Water™

The legendary 23 LSV is the best-selling towboat of all time because of its size, customization options, and agility — and that's no different for 2025. Loaded with Malibu's industry-leading watersports innovations, the 23 LSV has ideal ballast placement straight from the factory — and it's one of the reasons it has been voted wakesurf & wakeboard boat of the year five years in a row. For those looking for outstanding ski performance in addition to their wakes & waves, the 23 LSV is available for order with the Malibu Diamond Hull™.
