MXZ stands for maximized, and the lineup uses a pickle-fork bow to spend more of each hull’s width on forward seating. All three current models use Wake Plus, so the choice is mainly crew size, bow use, towing scale and the point where the buyer needs the larger engine tier.
MXZ stands for maximized, and the lineup uses a pickle-fork bow to spend more of each hull’s width on forward seating. All three current models use Wake Plus, so the choice is mainly crew size, bow use, towing scale and the point where the buyer needs the larger engine tier.
The most important mistake to avoid with the Malibu MXZ Series is choosing by length alone. All three use a 102-inch beam, 32-inch draft and Wake Plus hull. The 22 seats 14 and carries 58 gallons, the 23 seats 15 and carries 65, and the 24 grows to 17 people, 82 gallons and the 430 to 607 HP power tier.
The current set covered here includes 22 MXZ, 23 MXZ, 24 MXZ. Published hull lengths are 22 MXZ at 21′ 11″, 23 MXZ at 23′, 24 MXZ at 24′ 5″. Passenger ratings are 22 MXZ seats 14, 23 MXZ seats 15, 24 MXZ seats 17.

The 22 MXZ is 21′ 11″ long and rated for 14 people; the 24 MXZ is 24′ 5″ long and rated for 17.
The distinction is design intent. LSV is the alternative when the buyer wants traditional-bow wakeboats with Diamond hull choice still available on the 22 and 23. The Malibu MXZ Series should stay ahead only when its own combination of hull mission, layout and ownership scale better matches the normal weekend.
M Series is worth cross-shopping when the buyer wants heavier flagship boats with M-Line hulls and more premium systems per foot.
