Looks like a Tige.
It will be interesting to see how it performs. Apparently the official release is November some time.

The guys on MalibuCrew made some interesting points:
7k dry weight
Highest ballast capacity on the market
Wetsounds

Will be interesting to see if it is designed to make wakes or waves.

Just when I thought they couldn't get uglier ?

7K dry weight with over 3000lbs ballast - thats a lot and a big step up for Malibu. Direct competition to the G23, X23 and RZX.

Price difference to a 23SLV - any guess? ;-)

I personally like the design and think it will sell well. I'm guessing $180 list price.

It's also great advertising for the G23 since that's what they are targeting and comparing the M235 to.

Pretty huge news for malibu fans.
Probably almost enough to claim #gamechanger haha... Definitely more justified than nautique's marketing team claiming #gamechanger for some '16 G series mods.
Still think that was one of the worst marketing fails ever.

I have always liked BU's designs and astetics. I think they have kept the classic lines and gel coats going longer than anyone. Their interiors are will thought out. I am curious to see the interior on this bad boy. I'll never need a 25ft boat but shrinking it down to 21-22 always interests me. I like what I see so far.

To me, it looks like they chopped off the hull of a 24MXZ & attached it to the bottom of an existing 24MXZ.

I could not find anyone saying the dry weight was 7K. I read the thread twice now, and could not find that comment. Please post a link if you have that.

I would find that very hard to believe if a 2016 G23 dry weight was 5900 pounds.

Chattwake posted it but I think it has since been deleted. I looked as well. If it is, it should have a crazy wake/wave. Maybe it's a Lead infused hull ha

Agreed! Man that is one ugly boat. Horrible use of SeaDek around the bow. WTH is that?????

I too find 7k hard to believe. Here is one link and I am pretty sure someone mentioned it in the M235 thread but I'm too lazy to sift through it again.
