Malibu builds towboats first, so its open-bow models put wake and wave quality ahead of everything else. Ballast, surf gates and precise speed control come as standard thinking rather than options.
If skiing, wakeboarding and surfing are the main event and family cruising is the bonus, an open-bow Malibu is the sharp end of the market.
