MALIBU WAKESETTER 24 MXZ | MAXIMIZE FAMILY FUN
The all-new 2017 Malibu 24 MXZ gives you maximized style, maximized family time and maximized wakes. Looking sleeker than ever, this luxurious pickle fork model offers a walk-through design with seating for up to 18. The new hull maximizes wakeboarding and surfing, and we increased maximum possible ballast by more than 410 kgs. Just wait until you see the bigger wakes, especially with the Power Wedge II engaged. Fully tailored to the new hull, the Surf Gate gives an even bigger wave. Increased fuel capacity extends family time on the water, and available new Wet Sounds audio provides the perfect soundtrack.
Malibu’s Integrated Surf Platform combines an array of our innovations to create the perfect wake and wave suitable whether you are a beginner, a Professional, or anywhere in between. The ISP starts with performance hulls and swim boards tailored to each boat model. From there it builds in several industry-firsts, including the unique and patented Surf Gate that transforms a perfect watersports wake into a surfable and customized wave.
The ISP’s Quad Hard-Tank Ballast system lets you add up to 2,270 kgs of wake-creating ballast (depending on the model) at the tap of your finger on one of the dual touch-screens forming our Command Center.
Also at your command, Malibu’s Power Wedge II, our second-generation patented hydrofoil, adds up to 680 kgs of additional wake-generating water displacement.
For the last word in wake and wave control, the Malibu ISP puts it right in the surfer’s hands with the patented Surf Band wrist remote. Easily transfer with the use of Surf Band, as well as audio and visual signaling.

TRUE WAKE AND WAVE CREATION | Deploying the hydraulically actuated Power Wedge II is like adding up to 1,500 lbs (680 kgs) of additinal wake-creating water displacement. It happens at the tap of the driver's finger on the Command Center, or the surfer wearing the optional Malibu Surf Band wrist remote can adjust it right from the water.
Compared to our original Power Wedge, the Power Wedge II creates a more symmetrical wake that's also taller, longer and cleaner. The hydrofoil's upward angle increases lift to get the boat planing very quickly, which also helps reduce fuel consumption. Malibu's Power Wedge II is the only wake shaping device in the industry that gives you full versatility and infinite wake-and-wave-making abilities.

TORQUE ON TAP AND PREMIUM FEATURES
With torque on tap and premium features that enhance the driving and towing experience, the Monsoon 450 is an exceptional choice to deliver the additional torque necessary to quickly plane larger boat models with factory ballast, plus additional loading.
RAPTOR PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (RPM) INTELLIGENCE IN MOTION
In efforts to make boating easier for the driver, Indmar has added a suite of monitoring systems to the Monsoon series that enables the high capacity ECM to reduce operator workload, as well as react precisely to driver commands. The Raptor Performance Management System (RPM) comes standard on each Monsoon model and arrives packed with an long list of innovative and intuitive components that constantly monitor conditions and driver input to optimize performance and efficiency of the engine, while adding an extra layer of protection by staying one step ahead. Essentially the RPM turns all of your controls, sensors and systems into one finely tuned machine.

FULL 5-YEAR FACTORY WARRANTY
Indmar's commitment to quality, durability and reliability of the all-new Monsoon Series.
Not only does Indmar’s all-new Monsoon Series offer more power, more torque and better fuel economy, more protection and peace of mind also come standard with a full 5-Year Factory Warranty. The Monsoon Series is an exclusive line-up that defies every challenge, especially the test of time. Welcome to the all-new 5-Year Factory Warranty. Administered directly through Indmar, no third party or insurance involvement.
All the performance benefits of the Monsoon 6.2L 450 High Output engine with the added protection of Indmar’s SaltWater Series, which has been extensively tested and developed to withstand corrosive environments.
Each Indmar SaltWater Series inboard and its associated parts receive an advanced electro-coated dip (E-coat) process that provides complete protection against corrosion. E-coat completely covers both external and internal surfaces, creating a permanent paint to metal bond. And unlike paint and powder coat used by some competitors E-coat will not peel, will not crack and corrosion will not permeate it.
Indmar SaltWater Series cooling systems are completely closed loop systems. That means salt water will never enter the engine system or the exhaust manifolds.
Indmar's cooling systems use only propylene-glycol/water coolant driven through a corrosion resistant engine circulating pump. Coolant tanks are easily accessible for filling and sacrificial anodes are featured for extended life. Indmar confidently backs each SaltWater Series engine with the same three-year limited warranty.
Let it rumble! This engine rates highly on the seat-of-your-pants meter, meaning when you crank the engine, get ready to hold on tight.
The Monsoon 575 CAT is the first production supercharged Gen-IV small block engine for the marine industry.The 6.2L SuperCharged Monsoon 575 V-8′s credentials speak for themselves; however, with 545 lb-ft of torque at 4000 rpm, the 575 leaves the competition behind with it’s perfect blend of high-rev horsepower and low-rev torque.
Features and Benefits
Gen VI SuperCharger with Twin Four-Lobe Rotors
A state-of-the-art supercharger is key to the Monsoon 575's remarkable performance. This Gen IV small-block V-8 is equipped with Eaton’s Twin Vortices Series (TVS) supercharging technology. The Monsoon 572 supercharger displaces 1.9 liters and generates maximum boost pressure of 9.0 pounds per square inch (0.62 bar).
A supercharger is essentially an air pump driven by the engine’s crankshaft. It forces more air into the engine’s combustion chambers than that engine could otherwise draw on its own. The increased volume of oxygen allows the engine to efficiently process more fuel, and thus generate more power.
The TVS takes supercharging technology to new levels of refinement and efficiency. Each of its two rotors has four distinct lobes, or spiral-shaped vanes that inter-mesh precisely with those on the other rotor as they spin at high speed. Efficiency gains with the four-lobe rotors are substantial, compared to comparably sized, previous-generation superchargers: Approximately 20 percent more airflow, with an improvement in thermal efficiency up to 15 percent. Moreover, parasitic power loss-the amount of power the engine uses to operate the supercharger-is reduced 35 percent. That improves both the supercharger’s response time and the engine’s overall efficiency.
An advanced inter-cooling system increases the 6.2L Monsoon 575's performance and extends its supercharger’s benefits. The engine’s charge cooler is integrated in the supercharger case just above the rotors, with a single air-to-liquid cooling “brick” that substantially lower the temperature of air used in the combustion process.

THE 24 MXZ IS AMAZING.
The performance is incredible for its size, plus you have more than enough room for all your friends and gear. The Wake is so sick, especially with the Power Wedge II, and it's easy to get dialed exactly how you want it. And with Surf Gate you get a huge Wave with a nice lip.

Completely redesigned for 2017, Malibu took an already incredible boat and made some significant improvements to it. Created for the person who likes to bring along a large crew of friends and family and stay comfortable, this 24-footer has everything you could want out of a big wakeboat.
One fairly different feature than the traditional bow models is that it has a distinct and roomy pickle-fork bow. That wider design allows for more passengers to hang out and be comfortable up front, but since this boat is 24 feet long, there’s plenty of space in the lounge as well. If you want to watch the action, we highly recommend going for the Wake View seating option that takes the rear bench-style seat and converts it into stadiumlike seating to watch the riding.
This boat has a large footprint, so it takes a lot of weight to displace that amount of water. Luckily, that’s not a problem with the internal stock ballast along with the power plant that the 24 MXZ uses to get it out of the water. The surf wave behind the 24 MXZ is large and easily shaped with Surf Gate, and the wakes are big and rampy.
The MXZ line consistently delivers great wakes for wakeboarding and big, clean waves for wakesurfing.

BOATING
The Malibu Wakesetter 24 MXZ's new hull was designed to maximize wake and wave size.
The Wakesetter 24 MXZ had a complete redesign for 2017, from the hull up. This new hull was designed to maximize wake and wave size. Did it work? We think so.
The wave that the 24 MXZ threw during testing was absolutely massive, with so much power and push. This 24-foot boat features Malibu’s Integrated Surf Platform technologies, which consist of the Surf Gate vertical surf tabs, the hydraulic Power Wedge II and an integrated ballast system. When working in concert, these features allow the boat to displace so much water that a really heavy but consistent wave is created on either side. The wave’s pocket size had a ton of length and a fun lip at the end. However, the most impressive characteristic of this boat’s wave is its height. We’re not exaggerating when we say it was waist-high.
Like all Malibu models, the 24 MXZ offers the Surf Band, which lets riders control the wave right from the board. With the Surf Band, you can change the position of the Power Wedge, speed up or slow down — even transfer sides. And thanks to the Surf Gate, there’s no need to move weight from side to side. With all these next-level, customizable features combined with the new hull, wakesurfing behind the 24 MXZ is better than ever.
The fit and finish and accouterments are better than ever, too. Passengers (as many as 18 of them if you want to load up) will love the entertainment system and the stylish yet comfortable seating arrangements. The port console features a rear-facing backrest that is ideally suited for spotter duty.
The 2017 model year has brought a lot of nice new touches. For instance, the new G3.5 tower easily folds down yet, with its stainless-steel construction, is durable enough to withstand a heavy load.
The boat is no slouch in the performance department, either. When it’s time to go home, the ballast tanks drain in minutes; the boat will climb onto plane in under five seconds, then max out at a top speed of nearly 40 mph.
High Points
* Surf Gate vertical tabs allow for sculpting of the wake to rider’s preference without moving ballast.
* Surf Band lets rider control Power Wedge and speed of the boat from the water.
* Seating capacity for 18 people means everyone gets to watch the rider surf the huge wakes and then jump in and take a turn afterward.

Malibu’s Wakesetter 24 MXZ sits at the head of the wide-bow line and comes complete with just about every luxury feature available on the market today, as well as seating for 18 people. The 24 MXZ is great for social crews who still have an eye toward a big surf and wakeboard wake in a tech-forward package.
The 24 MXZ is one of the largest inboard boats on the water. It’s deep, spacious, and has storage suitable for an entire day on the water. There are cup holders peppered throughout, along with speakers and lights, and plenty of beam so that people don’t feel cramped. The dash — in its sophomore year — is critical on a big, feature-laden boat like this because the captain can still control the entire thing from the helm. The 12-inch touchscreen has everything you’re going to use on a daily basis, and the smaller auxiliary screen has secondary functions for the more discerning captain. There’s also an analog rotary dial option that lets you nudge functions up or down without going into the touchscreen. The 24 MXZ’s wake gets shaped with the Power Wedge, which is operated from the dash or by the surfer with the new Surf Band. Surf Gate is a must on this huge boat because it takes quite a bit to move weight from side to side.
