2017 Malibu Wakesetter 22 MXZ — Freshwater Only | Upgraded Audio | Trailer Included | Rogers/Bentonville, AR
A well-loved, well-maintained example of one of Malibu's most versatile surf and wake platforms, this 2017 Wakesetter 22 MXZ has spent its entire life on freshwater (Texas and Arkansas, most recently Beaver Lake) and has been professionally serviced by respected local Malibu technicians. The sellers are a family upgrading their life — not their boat — and everything needed to hit the water this season is included.
The 22 MXZ is Malibu's crossover model, blending surf and wake performance in a 22-foot package with generous cockpit seating and storage. This example presents with clean interior and exterior, with only normal cosmetic wear consistent with regular family use. The engine runs great and has been maintained to a high standard.
KEY FEATURES
- Malibu Surf Gate System + Power Wedge II + Expanded Ballast Package: This boat is equipped with Malibu's factory Surf Gate — the industry-pioneering deployable transom tabs that redirect the wake to create a clean, rideable surf wave on either side of the boat, switchable on the fly. Paired with the Power Wedge II hydraulic trim plate, the system fine-tunes wave shape and size at surf speeds. The seller has further enhanced wave output with two factory plug-and-play 500-lb ballast bags integrated into the stern (helm-controlled) plus an additional external 800-lb bag with pump — giving riders the ability to dial in a significantly larger wave when desired. Surf Gate and Power Wedge together represent the gold standard in wave-shaping technology, and the added ballast takes this setup well beyond stock capability.
-
- Premium Wet Sounds Audio System (Full Boat Upgrade): The factory audio has been replaced with a comprehensive Wet Sounds system featuring 6 interior/bow/stern speakers (6–8"), 2 bow walk-through speakers (6.5"), 4 tower speakers (10"), a 12" DS18 subwoofer, three amplifiers (Kicker, Wet Sounds, DS18), and a mixer — all fully integrated with the factory Malibu touchscreen and Bluetooth interface. Lighted speakers are color-configurable. Wet Sounds is widely regarded as the benchmark brand for marine audio on towboats, and this installation requires no separate control devices — everything runs through the factory helm interface.
-
- Freshwater-Only History, Professionally Serviced: The boat has never seen saltwater, having been used exclusively on Texas and Arkansas lakes. Freshwater use dramatically reduces corrosion risk on hardware, ballast fittings, and the drivetrain. Service has been performed by Arrowhead and Tony Lowmiller — named, local Malibu specialists — adding confidence in the maintenance record.
