I get the impression that they only do big reveals for true overhauls.  The "new" 23LSV has been organically released.  The A24 is the only one getting short teasers through social media, so the changes must be significant. 

They make the videos every year featuring whats new for just about every model. That is what I am referring to. And also, when they redesign the hull of their best selling model (which is the best selling towboat of all time) I would say that is significant.

Exactly! So why wouldn't they put the time in and create a top notch marketing effort before it's advertised by dealers?!

FWIW, I'm not discrediting that the new hull changes are not significant.  In the context of an Axis, getting a powerwedge and some features which didn't exist for them certainly is a step up.  A hull redesign is definitely massive for the LSV, and the wave will be next level.  I guess I'm just frustrated with seeing new boats in dealer parking lots and not knowing the potential of that new hull!  As you said @BadgerBoater55, give us the info!

Your local dealer has a lot of resources/videos/specs on this boat direct from Malibu.  I'm sure they'd be more than happy to show you all that they have at their disposal if you pop in.  

Even if there was a sweet release video, I think we can all agree that the potential of a new hull or boat is best experienced on the water.

Really Malibu... making us look forward to a Monday?

Walkway filler pad on a 2018 MXZ. Might be custom based on the photo discription but not sure:

[hunter77ah]

What I meant was budget 22mxz is the A22.

And the weight.

[isellacuras]

Looks really wide based on the picture of the rear. Look at where the pylon is in relation to the patterns on the seatbacks and the sundeck. Looks deep too.

From what I heard it will be a "budget conscious" boat like the 21VLX.

Base/basic options MSRP $89,999 budget enough? Thats my guess

Yep, looks exactly like my 21vlx with a pickle fork.  Same dash, sub set up, glovebox, and seats.  I wonder if it’s going to be a 98’’ beam and 21 feet in length?
