Any changes to the 2024 line worth looking into.  My last two Malibu were a 2018 m235 and now a 2022 m240 which imo was a big upgrade.

I don't think the M240 has changed much but the 26LSV may be worth a look.  all indications on here are that the wave is bananas and it has a ton of space.

Kind of cool, but I will tell you that the bigger and bigger wake boats are causing trouble for us as a whole. Lake associations are starting to push back and some sort of regulation is coming. (at least in MN) I'm hoping it will just be a size or weight restriction.

Picked up a 2024 23 LSV from the awesome crew at Wilson Watersports last week and we're stoked to get it out on the water. This is Malibu #7 for us and the third one from WW - can't say enough good things about that entire crew. We had originally planned to go same color way as our previous white and black 23 LSV (WW even ordered a boat for stock that was like the old one in case we went that direction) but the Zephyr Blue Metallic kept catching our eye. Had to laugh when we pulled up to make our choice and both boats were eloquently displayed in the parking lot.

After much debate, we went the dark blue route and are thrilled with our decision. Boat is equipped with the M6, Cool touch interior, MaxPivot seat, flip down step, and a bunch of other things we wanted. The removable cushion yielding a full walk-through made the MaxPivot seat a non-negotiable.

Already got the bungee racks replaced with the PTM ClampForce 3.0's (holy crap those things have gotten expensive!!!) and am lining up window tint and ceramic coating in the next few weeks. Thinking about a re-power of the stereo but haven't gotten that far yet... Any other must haves?

I’m ready for a surf wave review that isn’t part of the marketing video .  With 7 bu’s under your belt does that qualify you as an expert lol? Congrats on the boat ! Love the new look of the 24s ! Gives a good review / differences when you can .

There are undoubtedly folks on this forum that are much more of an expert than I, but will do a full review of the refreshed model once we get more time in it.

Initial thoughts based on a few hours last night are very strong (ignore the ugly water). Wave had tons of push and the pocket was large. This photo was full ballast, wedge @ 3, and 500 # PnP bags. Buddy with an M220 was out with me and we think it may compare more with the M220 wake than the prior gen 23LSV…

Interior to match the water color, nice!

Thanks for the initial report @carnold12! Love to hear that. My 2024 23 LSV is on a truck to my dealer right now, I'll be sure to weigh in once I get some time behind it.

 

Here's a pic my dealer shared of a 2024 23 LSV test ride he recently took:
