2020 MXZ 22 ski tow pole

We are in the market for e new boat and after driving a few different brands we have decided on the Malibu. We are looking at the 23 LSV and the MXZ 22. I forgot to look when we were out in the MXZ but I do not see a place for the ski tow in the transom area. I will only ski every once in a while and I know the LSV is a better ski boat but I am curios if the MXZ has it and I am just missing it. 

 

Also - anyone have an MXZ with the 5DI engine? The one we drove had the 6DI and it was amazing but I think the 5DI should be enough for sea level use.

No ski pilon on the 22mxz, but the new 23mxz does have it. I was in the same boat as you a few years ago and almost pulled the trigger on a 22mxz until the salesman pointed it out at the last minute.

I’m not sure when you are looking to buy, but my guess is the mxz 22&24 get redesigned this summer. You can typically order a next model year boat as early as July depending on when the update the dealer portal. We did this a few years ago with our 2019 vtx, ordered early July, was the first 2019 vtx down the line and we took delivery the first weekend in August. 
 

Now, I’m not saying the redesign will for sure have the ski pylon but I can see it following the 23 mxz updates. Also not sure of your timing but might be worth thinking about.
