Feature may include:

Smart Helm and Driver Presets

• The Malibu Boats Command Center features an ultra-wide, low-profile screen with richer detail, deeper functionality, and more luxurious touches than ever before. It includes rider and driver profiles, an all-new Smart Helm Seat with customizable Driver Presets, and simplified controls that make operating your Malibu easier than ever.

Lounge Amenities

• Built for maximum performance, comfort, and convenience, the 23 MXZ lounge features ultra-plush foamback on Quilted CNC Panels to provide your crew with the most comfortable seats on the water. Plus, no matter where you sit, there's always a cupholder and phone holder with optional wireless charging within reach.

Rotary Sport Dial

• The familiar rotary sport dial has been placed at an all-new level for comfortable use and gives you quick access to functions you will use frequently. Easily change the Surf Gate, Power Wedge, stereo, and cruise control settings at the push of a button.

Max-Pivot Seat™

• To help you make the most of your lounge on the 23 MXZ, we’ve added the Max-Pivot Seat™ which smoothly changes between a bed at the back, or moves forward to create a rear-facing bench seat with or without the table flipped up.

All-New PTM Bimini

• The all-new PTM Bimini redefines convenience and coverage with a smart, streamlined design. Featuring an integrated handle, it deploys effortlessly after unbooting and locks securely into place. When it’s time to stow, simply pull down gently and press the release buttons on both sides for a smooth, one-person operation. Its clean, modern design delivers a larger canopy and a sleeker look—no extra support arms or straps required. Available on all Ascend and Ascend Pro towers.
