It delivers a beautifully linear powerband, immediate throttle response to ensure zero speed drop when pulling heavy adult slalom skiers through the course, and maximum mechanical reliability. If you are tracking down a new personal best or want a driver-centric ski boat that carves on a dime, this Malibu Response package stands completely alone."

Performance & Track-Proven Ski Innovation

Record-Setting T-Cut Diamond Hull: The benchmark of competitive waterskiing. The legendary T-Cut Diamond hull is designed to provide incredible natural lift, completely minimizing bow rise while generating a ultra-soft, forgiving wash with no hard rooster tail.
Zero Off® GPS Speed Control: Crucial for serious course runs. Integrated directly into the helm electronics, Zero Off utilizes high-accuracy GPS tracking to maintain a perfectly uniform towing speed down to a fraction of a mile per hour.
Direct-Drive Precision Handling: Built with a centrally located engine mounts and tracking fins, the Response tracks dead-straight down the centerline without washing out, banking smoothly into tight tournament-style turnarounds.
Insulated Motor Box & Sound Suppression: Features Malibu’s advanced MSST Sound Suppression architecture. The heavy-duty fiberglass engine shroud is heavily insulated, keeping engine rumble down to a absolute whisper so the driver can effortlessly converse with the observer.

Interior & Driver Command Center

High-Visibility Command Center: Designed to maximize the captain's forward line of sight, featuring a low-profile dash framework, a short-wing sports windshield, and a centralized digital touch interface to monitor ballast, speed tracking, and critical vital gauges.
Ergonomic Premium Lounging: Wrapped in hand-stitched, high-durability marine vinyl with custom billet aluminum design accents. The open or closed bow variants maximize layout flow while keeping gear neatly tucked away.
Malibu Soft Grip Flooring: High-durability, non-skid marine flooring covering key traffic paths and the low-profile stern swim deck. It stays cool to the touch on blistering summer days and washes clean with a simple spray hose.
