Hello all,

I am looking at purchasing a 2012 Malibu 23 LSV and from what I can tell its a Wake hull. Can someone verify this for me?

Looks like the wake hull to me. Google the diamond hull and you will know for sure. Post this on themalibucrew.com also.

I've googled and googled. All I can find is the older hulls and they look different in my eyes. Will do. Thanks.

Was there even still a diamond hull in '12?

Great! Thank you guys for the info! I will post some for pictures over the weekend after I bring it home. All the info I've read is it says the 2011-2013 are the V25 hull. So I guess that means wake?

I'm guessing that hull should make a great ski wake-relative to its size, considering how flat it is across the bottom and should be super mellow transitions for wakeboarding.

I had a 2012 lsv23 with the diamond hull. 2nd best Wake Surf wave I've been on. My .02.

Sweet. I'm bringing her home tomorrow and haven't surfed on a 2002 + Wakesetter yet so I'm pumped.
