2015 Malibu Wakesetter 22 MXZ

The 22 MXZ is all about that open-bow, stadium-style vibe, and this one makes the most of it. The squared-off bow layout feels more like a lounge than a nose, so your crew actually wants to ride up front, even when you’re running across chop. At the helm, the low-slung dash keeps sightlines clean while the deep freeboard gives everyone a secure, tucked-in ride when it gets bumpy. With the Monsoon 350 and a high-altitude prop already in play, this boat jumps on plane quickly even when you’ve got full ballast and a big crew. The pickle-fork bow, wide beam, and aggressive hull lines give it a modern, athletic look that still turns heads at the dock.

For variable conditions and busy multi-use waterways, the Wakesetter 22 MXZ hits a sweet spot. It’s compact enough to trailer easily and launch at tighter ramps, yet the wide beam and deep seating give it the presence and comfort of a larger wake boat. The hull settles nicely in heavier afternoon chop, keeping riders happy whether they’re surfing just off the platform or charging a longer-line wakeboard set. The surf system and adjustable running attitude let you dial in a clean wave without constant crew shuffling. For a region where you may split time between glassy mornings, windy afternoons, and weekend crowds, this MXZ offers a versatile, premium wake experience in a very manageable size.
