Saw a thread on the Malibu site about a T23 being announced at the end of the year. I would have assumed they'd do a T24, not a huge differrence in a foot. Also curious as to how the wake will be and any other new items available.

well.. hmm..

The 23 ft boat category is really a big category. Malibu has done really well in this size category and has even caused a few other companies to get into it. Could I see them releasing a T23 before a T24. I think that is possible.

The bigger the better for my liking. Bring on the T23 or T24...A26 lol. I love big wakeboats.

I think a 23' is perfect. 24' seems a little excessive.

The rumor-mill has it as a T24

If it surfs like the T22, that would be a great boat! I would be excited to see it demo'd ... hoping it would additionally take rough water a bit better too. The T22 is okay, but busy days it's still a beating on the boat if one doesn't back way off. I've heard good things about the larger hulls in rougher water but never experienced it personally behind the A24 for example. I'd be surprised to see a T23, seems more natural to go to the T24, aligning with the A24. Speculation is awesome! Time to check in with the dealer to see if he has any inside scoop, I'm sure he'd love to sell me a new one haha.

My A24 handles rough, white cap, conditions that my A22 would dream of. Just fill the center and bow ballast in rough conditions and I can cross open water in 2' chop no problems at 25mph or more. In my A22 I'd have to just ride fairly slow bow high plowing those white caps until I reached the protected side of the lake. The big wakeboats are a better choice IMO if you do have a large open water lake that gets wind often.

That's great to hear. The other minor complaint is I can't see over the windshield while surfing even with the seat raised up. That's loaded (2 750s, center, front underbow), even with a few passengers up front. It's hazardous almost unless I'm standing up which is also a hazzard haha. This a bit better in the A24?
