Performance…it’s the choice of world record holders and recreational water skiers alike, and the workhorse of the line is the Response LX and it’s sister, the closed bow Response. The world’s highest performing family 3-event ski boat, the Response LXi rounds out this elite group of Malibu boats.

Roll on the throttle of any boat in the Performance Series, and feel the grunt of the standard 320 horse power multi-port fuel injected LCR or the available Monsoon 340, Indmar’s extremely “torque-y” custom version of GM’s 5700 Vortec EFI developed exclusively to match Malibu’s SV23 diamond Hull. Of
course you have the option to step up to the Hammerhed 383 for 400HP of rope snapping power. This horsepower is corralled by the fingertip control made possible with Malibu’s Instantaneous Response Technology (IRT). Rough water is sliced to ripples beneath the incredible SV23 Diamond Hull.

For the driver, the ergonomics of the dash layout, the sublime craftsmanship, and the ease of operation, have been thought out to the most minute detail, including an automotive mechanical lumbar support in the drivers seat, 5 inch gauges for better visibility, plus the standard air and water temperature gauge.

At skiing speeds the wake is non existent, but engage the optional Wedge, and a pair of launch ramps emerge to propel even the most seasoned rider to new heights.

The sleek design of the Performance series houses intelligently engineered storage space with ample space to lock up all of your toys and supplies. And you’ll have enough interior light to see your way around, even when you’ve stayed out on the lake longer than the sun.
