20 VTX: THE CROSSOVER KING
THE TRUTH IS ON THE WATER
The 20 VTX is Malibu's ultimate triple threat. VTX stands for versatility and it truly is the boat that makes everyone happy whether you want to ski, wakesurf, or wakeboard. Its unique Malibu T-Cut Diamond Hull™ is tournament-approved so you get pro-level slalom wakes—or you can fill the ballast, drop the Power Wedge® III, and deploy Surf Gate® for a wave you won't believe came off a 20-foot boat. Fun to drive, easy to store, and simple to trailer, the 20 VTX is just what your multisport family has been looking for.

SHORT WING WINDSHIELD
The skiers talked, and Malibu listened. The Short Wing Windshield allows the driver to lean over and have better direct communication with the skier as he or she is getting picked up for the next pull. It also allows the tower to be moved forward so there's no chance of the rope hitting the tower when a skier is going extra wide.

MALIBU'S DIAMOND HULL - SKI, WAKE, SURF
The Malibu Diamond Hull™ is the perfect option for multi-sport enthusiasts. The Diamond Hull was created by reversing the chines, to create more lift at ski speeds. This design causes the rear of the hull to lift out of the water more, creating a flatter, softer ski wake all while keeping the true Malibu performance for wakesurfing and wakeboarding.
MALIBU MONSOON ENGINES
DESIGNED, BUILT AND BACKED BY MALIBU
The new Malibu Monsoon line of engines, the M5Di, M6Di, and the LT4, were developed by Malibu to offer unmatched performance, fuel economy, reliability and sound reduction.
Malibu was able to accomplish this feat by bringing engine production in-house. The engine experts at Malibu worked with industry leaders like GM® Marine, Roush®, Davinci®, and McLaren Engineering® to design and perform the research and development necessary to introduce a line of in-board engines to the towboat industry like no other.
MALIBU Monsoon M5Di
-
TORQUE - 400 FT-LBS @ 3800 rpm
POWER - 370 HP @ 5600 rpm
Whether you’re going for another buoy or generating surf swells, Malibu’s new M5Di has the power to get you there with more efficiency than ever before.
MALIBU Monsoon M6Di
-
TORQUE - 460 FT-LBS @ 3800 rpm
POWER - 430 HP @ 5600 rpmDesigned to be the standard engine in some of largest Malibu boats and the first step up in the powertrain options, the M6Di still has the lowest sound level at various RPMs and fuel economy levels comparable to smaller engines.
LET’S Talk Torque
It’s not how fast you can pull a rider or skier (that’s horse power), it’s about getting the rider out of the hole quickly and consistently with a boat full of ballast and friends – and that’s all about torque curve. This has been the driving factor behind the Malibu Monsoon direct injection engines. M5Di, M6Di & LT4 are tailor made by Malibu for water sports – meaning maximum power is delivered early in the torque curve to give you a boat that never bogs down. The Monsoon’s custom tailored gear ratios act as torque multipliers to deliver even more power when you need it.
