2000 Malibu 23lsv?
Looking at a Malibu wakesetter 23lsv and was wondering if anyone had any comments/concerns on this boat/ hull? Is it the diamond hull and are there any problems that are common? Thanks

I owned a 2001 LSV (same hull) and I liked the wake a lot. We ran 400's in the back compartments, 700 up front, and 300 in the locker and the wake was very nice. Also throws a good surf wave when weighted properly. It was a great boat. I wasn't a huge fan of the wedge so we hardly used it. I am a huge nautique guy and that was the first malibu I ever owned and it made me a believer in malibu boats. Super solid.

I could be wrong but all 23' Malibu's before 2004 were diamond hull boats. That includes the wakesetter LSV, sunscape 23 and hatever other 23' vdrive models they had.
J-rod or one of the other CIE guys use to have one back in the day I think. Maybe they can chime in. Also, for wakeboarding I would assume it has a near identical wake to the 21' vlx's with the diamond hull. If so I seem to remember people saying that the wedge is a must have. You really need to use it to get any kick out of the wake. Without it, the wake is really rampy I think. |
Thanks for the replies I'll try and find out more. I'm pretty sure the diamond hull is not the one you want for wake boarding.

The 2000 23 LSV produces a great wake with the wedge. I had a 2001 and the wake was a beast. Gotta have the wedge though.
