Before the cork hits the

ground, we’re thinking about

the next one.

We are extremely proud and honored by every Boat Of

The Year Award we have received. But no sooner had the

congratulatory hugs been given for the 2005 award, than

our engineers were back to work dreaming up the next great

Malibu boat. Such is the relentless devotion to excellence of

Malibu’s Research and Development team. Four consecutive

Boat Of The Year Awards in as many years prompted self-

induced pressure to out-do themselves yet again, to continue

the dynasty that has seen Malibu win more Product Excellence

Awards and set more World Record performances than all of

our competitors combined.

340 Monsoon. The Monsoon 340 (340 HP) delivers out of the hole with 397 foot-pounds of torque. This customized version of GM’s Vortec 5.7L is designed specifi cally for Malibu’s performance hulls. The Indmar ETX one-piece tuned exhaust manifolds plus high-lift roller cam and free-breathing Vortec heads equal one of the most powerful, dependable small blocks ever built.

Hammerhead 383. The Hammerhead 383 (400 HP) is the most powerful 5.7L small-block V8 ever developed for inboard use.

Helping you achieve your

personal best.

If you’re not training behind a Malibu, you’re going to lose to someone who

is. Wakeboarding, slalom, barefooting–it’s true across disciplines. That’s

the word on the water. But, don’t take our word for it. You be the judge. Sit

down, turn the key, throw the throttle forward and drive a Malibu. The con-

clusion is inescapable–this is the boat you have always dreamed of owning.

Gorilla Fins. Gorilla fi ns, stan-dard on all Sport-V Malibus, offer greater tracking, stability and handling by virtue of their size and custom design.

CNC Propeller. Every Malibu is equipped with precisely machined CNC propellers for smoother operation and higher performance standards.

Precision Pro Speed Control. The new LCD graphical display in the center of the dash incor-porates the industry’s fi rst standard world class cruise control for all water sports disciplines, from low speed surfi ng and boarding to crisp, steady slalom speeds.

Adjustable Rudder. Cus-tomize the torque of the rudder for the perfect pull or driving preference with the twist of an allen screw on Malibu’s exclusive adjustable rudder. Malibu puts the controls in your hands.

Hull Design. The running surfaces of Malibu boats are digitally shaped into two unique footprints that command the fl ow of water differently. Malibu’s Diamond hull is cut with sharp diamond-like strakes to funnel air under the boat, create more lift and displace less water, for softer wakes. The fl at strakes of our Wake hull cause the boat to sit lower in the water, creating a bigger wake.

Introducing the Power Wedge–Convenience

and Precision.

20

Wedge Technology vs. OtherSome competitors grind all the hook out of the hull design and use a trim tab that, when deployed, will push the bow down, negating any wake-enhancing hull displacement. A Trim plate only changes the attitude of the boat, but does not displace the hull. Therefore, only the wake shape changes. The Wedge utilizes advanced foil technology to displace the hull and at the same time adjust the attitude of the boat for huge, yet adjustable wakes. It is the only such system in the industry and has factored into fi ve Boat of the Year Award performances.

The Power Wedge turns huge wakes into huge designer

wakes. Wake size increases but, more importantly,

the shape can be customized to each rider’s style and

ability. A switch on the dash offers a range of fi ve

settings, for 400 lbs. to 1200 lbs. of displacement.

A separate cockpit gauge pinpoints the exact Wedge

location for rider preferences.

Malibu has always found a better way to design and manufacture boats. Our towers are

no different. The distinctive design of our standard Illusion X and optional Blade give

Malibu owners a look outside the box of stale jungle gym designs. The Titan Series III is

Malibu’s lone rear facing tower utilizing thick steel in place of aluminum. Every Malibu

tower is fi rst engineered for purpose and strength, but also designed to be beautifully

incorporated into Malibu’s elegant lines.

Towering above the marketplace with

superior technology.

the Lewis family. In the four years since they’ve become Malibu owners, the Lewis family of Red-mond, Washington has used their boat for both Dad’s dawn patrol ski runs and daughter’s late afternoon wakeskate sessions. Mother Dañela, an accomplished ballerina and runner, says of the four tournament brand boats they’ve owned “It’s the easiest to drive!” while pre-teen athlete Colby enthuses “We love our Malibu!”

Simply peerless–The world’s fi nest 3-event ski boats.

No matter how you measure it–Boat of the Year awards, world

records, personal bests, quality or styling–Malibu’s Performance

Class of Response models comes out on top. Compelling as this

is, even more impressive is achieving this level without leaving

the family behind. Every Malibu Boat of The Year and World

Record performance, including Chris Parrish’s new World

Slalom Record, has been achieved in our family friendly open

bow confi gurations. And building a boat that brings the whole

family together is worth more than every award combined.

The fi rst walk-thru open bow to pull the greatest skiing performance ever, this boat

smashed a record as well as open bow stereotypes. That world record stood for eight years

until Chris Parrish and his partner, the Response LXi, demolished it in 2005. Yet most of

the buzz it generates surrounds how this boat performs for pros and families alike. Even

sitting still, this boat inspires awe, with its one-piece tempered glass windshield, sleek

styling, stainless rear vents and exquisite interior. New standard Precision Pro Speed Con-

trol and Electronic Throttle Control suggest the title greatest 3-event skiing boat ever built.

Designed to slice through the course and all preconceptions.

Luxury Sport-V Series

Malibu’s direct drive luxury Sport-V has eclipsed the standard

I/O in performance, comfort and safety. The Sport-V ’s appeal

goes beyond superfi cial looks. Thanks to the inboard

confi guration and Malibu designed hulls, bow rise is reduced

to nil, giving drivers increased peace of mind on busy water-

ways. Children can swim safely by the swim platform, as the

propeller is located under the boat, instead of below the

platform as it is on I/O’s. The lack of a lower drive unit means

no maintenance and no possibility of signifi cant drive damage.

All in all, a superior confi guration.

Malibu Sport-V class–The industry standard in

performance, safety and value.

seating design and open bow area enable you to comfortably accommodate a crowd while

still providing a performance pull. The standard Illusion X tower and Malibu Launch

System (MLS) put you in the limelight and offer the opportunity to express yourself

and turn in your most satisfying performance.

An adaptable design for fl uid fun.

the Orzechowski family. Mike and Ellen Orzechowski are on their fi fth Malibu boat, having fi rst become Malibu owners in the early ‘90s. They are a diehard wakeboarding family, especially sons Derek, 22, and Bevin, 15. Says Dad: “Malibu is more desirable than all the other boats, they keep getting sharper and better all the time – they are way ahead of the others! Also, we appreciate the fact that Malibu is employee owned.”

What makes Malibu’s Wakesetter series so special? The name

says it all: Wakesetter. This series offers specifi cally designed

hulls that generate huge wakes, with the perfect characteristics

and shape for aspiring riders. Malibu’s new, exclusive Power

Wedge option allows for true customization of wakes and wake

shapes ranging from the equivalent of 400 lbs. to 1200 lbs. of

ballast. It not only creates displacement for huge wakes, but can

also be adjusted for shape–the only wake enhancement system

that both builds wakes and shapes them. The Ballast Monitoring

System data is now displayed, along with Precision Pro Speed

Control, in the centered LCD graphical dash display, along with

a bar graph which shows ballast volumes in each tank.

The most advanced wake creating machines

on the water.

There is plenty of room for all in the new 247 LSV. While built on performance bloodlines,

this boat also meets the criteria for the all-important hours when nothing matters more

than being together. The Wakesetter 247 LSV offers more: more seating, more ballast and

more pulse-quickening styling plus features that create an entirely new standard in

wakeboarding boats today. The Wakesetter 247 LSV rides upon the V25 hull. Combined

with the new Power Wedge and standard 1150 lbs. of ballast, it churns up the biggest wakes
