MXZ stands for maximized, and nowhere is that more apparent than in the large, pickle-fork bow. With plenty of space to sit facing forward or backward in the height of comfort, the 23 MXZ’s bow is one of the most popular spots on the boat. Complete with comforts like Wet Sounds speakers, phone caddies, grab handles, cup holders, flip-down armrests, and plush upholstery, the 23 MXZ’s bow sets the standard for modern wakeboat luxury and functionality. For 2024, owners can upgrade to the Natalie Seat, which takes the bow up a notch by functioning as both a wind dam and a seat back for additional forward-facing seating.

“Pickle-fork bows have the same great performance as their traditional bow counterparts,” said CEO Jack Springer. “Many of our customers recognize the value in that additional forward space and absolutely love the 23 MXZ. It’s such a popular boat that this new model had to be perfect in every aspect.”

Continuing with the maximized theme, the 23 MXZ’s lounge features a spacious, wraparound seating configuration that takes advantage of every inch of interior space. Complete with luxurious backrests and knee-rise seat cushions, passengers can sink into the standard lounge configuration, or pop up seat backs to instantly create rear-facing seating that’s ideal for watching the family surf. Upgrade to the MaxPivot Seat to take the 23 MXZ’s standard bench from ordinary to extraordinary with multiple different configurations: a rear-facing seat, a picnic table seat, sun bed, and more. Malibu Soft Grip foam is marine-grade and covers heavily trafficked areas like the lounge floor, swim platform, and bow entry areas to provide sure footing. It comes in a design pattern that accents the boat’s 2024 look and is color customizable. Speakers, cup holders, phone holders, and hinged storage complete the lounge and ensure it is as functional as it is elegant. The billet aluminum glove compartment and deep, cavernous observer-seat-storage provide additional space for gear and personal items, and available wireless charging in both the cockpit and at the helm ensures devices last the whole day.
