2002 Wakesetter txi

Can you use barefootboom on this boat getting ready to buy one

No such thing as a 2002 txi. XTI maybe?

unless you're looking at a tower boom, I'd say not likely.  I think those had the retractable pylon which Malibu does not recommend using with a boom.  Also, a normal DD boom would be way too low to the water with how high you'd need to attach it.

I'd recommend lobbing a call into Peter at Smooth Water Sports.  He knows lots about barefooting and barefoot setups for Malibus.

Doesnt an xti have a center pylon like a dd?

Center pop up pylon that pops up from an upholstered sun deck.  Not a pylon that goes all the way to the floor like a normal DD.  That's one of the bits that got lost in the botched gender reassignment...

Reach out to Mike at Barefoot International.  He knows booms and Malibu's.  He was willing to give me his personal number so I could send him pics of my setup prior to use so he could ensure it was setup correctly.  This was all on a Saturday no less..

I stand corrected.  Looks like BI did figure out a contour to use on the XTI.  And it's designed for the retractable pylon.
