2001 Malibu Response LX

The 2001 Malibu Response LX is a 20-foot fiberglass ski and wake boat built around an open bow design and powered by a single 310-horsepower Malibu engine. The hull features the SV23 Diamond design with contoured multi-density foam construction, engineered to deliver precise handling and controlled turning for drivers while generating the steady pull and clean wakes that watersport enthusiasts demand.

The helm is outfitted with fingertip controls and a wrap-around windshield that maximizes visibility and minimizes bow rise. Steering is handled through a rack and pinion system with zero-friction throttle control. The dash includes a five-inch servo instrument display and accommodates optional cruise control and GPS navigation. Safety features include integrated handrails and flush-mounted cleats.

The cabin layout centers on an unobstructed view forward and surprising interior room for a boat of this size. The front passenger seat seats three comfortably, while thoughtful storage is provided throughout: a rear locker, side storage compartments, and oversized built-in cup holders. The swim platform includes a trap door for deploying the wake-building wedge. Additional comfort touches include interior lighting and practical hardware positioned throughout the interior.
