Upgrade from 2016 23 LSV

[sandaddiction]

I currently have a 23 LSV.  I love the boat and wake but want something a little bigger (and would love a walkway over the rear hatch).  My dealer recommends a MXZ... what are your thoughts and suggestions? I'm OK stepping out of the Malibu family, if necessary.

I would take a look at the 24 MXZ if a walk way is important to you, also the G23. I would still take a gander at the 25LSV, just because the space, wave, and wake is awesome. It doesn't have a walk through option, but still might be something you are interested in. It will have more cabin space then the 24 MXZ and G23. MXZ will have more bow space.

I would without question Demo a G23 however if space is really a big issue the 24 MXZ has more space.

I would add the M to that list also. Especially if you like the feel of the wave of the malibu.

Lots of good info here. It's a fair bit of reading but a lot of great points were made. All of these models will give you the walkway over the rear hatch with the exception of the 25 LSV. I wouldn't rule out the 25 LSV though as it is a beast. The 24 MXZ would be an awesome choice for sure.
