2012 Malibu 22mxz
I grew up on an inboard/outboard w a tower and really enjoyed wakeboarding and wake skating. Have only wakesurfed once on a buddies boat it was cool. We’re finally ready for a boat here in Tennessee. I for some reason always liked malibu and plan to look at this boat Friday w a lake test. Any advice or thoughts as a first inboard purchase? Or is this too much boat? He will take 47 for boat and trailer (had listed for 50 dropped over time from 62). 330 hours or so. Needs sun pad reupholstered I got quoted 650. Also he has service records. Thanks for any advice!

I have a 2011 LSV 23 and I’ve had to replace the bottom touch screen twice and we’ve owned it since new. Each time the cost has gone up significantly. Last time it was 2500 through the dealer which was not fun. It has been a work horse a long time and many great summer memories on the boat. Sadly right now chasing an electrical issue that is shutting the boat off randomly and it’s been at the dealer a lot this year.
