Low-Hour Malibu Wake Boat with Surf Gate
193 hours on a supercharged 6.2L with the Malibu Surf Gate already dialed in, this 247 LSV is a serious boat at a price point that makes a lot of sense for a family ready to get on the water without the new-boat wait.

Features & Technology
The Surf Gate is what makes this boat worth your attention. Malibu's system redirects water to shape a clean, rideable wave on either side of the boat without the hassle of manually repositioning ballast or lead bags. You pick your side, the gate does the work, and you're surfing. For a family with multiple riders who want to switch it up between runs, that convenience is hard to overstate.
The supercharged 6.2L is another reason this boat stands out in its class. You've got serious power on tap, which means the boat gets up to speed quickly even with a full crew and full ballast. The surf and wakeboard presets take the guesswork out of dialing in speed for different riders, so you spend less time fiddling and more time in the water.
The tower package is genuinely well-equipped. Four Wet Sounds speakers with covers, tower lights, and board racks make this a boat you can load up and run all day without wishing you'd added more. The transom remote and docking lights round out a setup that was clearly spec'd by someone who actually uses their boat.
Interior & Comfort
The interior runs a gray and white vinyl combination that holds up well and keeps the cabin feeling clean and open. The layout on the 247 LSV gives you real space for a family, with seating that works for a full day on the water rather than just a quick afternoon out. The helm is intuitive, and with the presets already programmed, whoever's driving doesn't need to be an expert to run a good set.
Worth noting on condition: there are tears on the two rear sundeck seats on the transom, port and starboard, and matching tears on the rear interior seats where the piping meets the cushion on both sides. These are cosmetic issues, not structural ones, and a good upholstery shop can address them. That said, we're being upfront about it because you should know exactly what you're buying. The rest of the boat reflects its low hours well.
Why This Boat?
193 hours on a supercharged Malibu with the Surf Gate and a full Wet Sounds tower setup is a genuinely rare find. The cosmetic upholstery issues are real, but they're also the reason this boat is priced where it is, and they don't touch the performance side of the equation at all. If you want a capable, well-equipped surf boat without paying new-boat money, this one deserves a hard look.
Perfect For
- Families who want to surf and wakeboard without the complexity of manual ballast adjustments
- Buyers who want serious power and a proven surf system in a 24-foot package
- Anyone looking to get into a well-equipped Malibu at a smart price point
