"Being the most premium boat of the best-selling watersports
boat brand in the world doesn't come easy, so we knew the all-new
M242 had to be nothing short of mind-blowing," said CEO Jack
Springer. "It's not just one thing that makes this the
ultimate Malibu, everything that makes Malibu special is packed
into this amazing boat. The M242 has it all, and its new
innovations are really going to surprise even the most-seasoned
Malibu owners."
The M242’s stylish luxury starts in the large, shovel nose bow.
The broad, rear-facing seat is accented with signature
three-dimensional diamond-textured panels contoured for comfort.
The forward-facing seating is bucketed for ergonomics with grab
handles where passengers’ hands naturally fall, and flip-down
armrests make a lounger out of a normal seat. Integrated cupholders
are beside futuristic speaker grills and sleek phone holders. By
itself, this would be an impressive feature list, but the M242 is
always more than it first appears. Transform the bow with the
all-new Flip-Up Bow Recliner™ to a full playpen by flipping out the
filler cushion, then convert the hideaway wind dam seat for an
uninterrupted bench seat along the full perimeter of the bow. It’s
never been easier to change the entire character of the bow, and
this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the M242’s
groundbreaking innovations.
Continuing into the lounge, the luxury innovations continue.
There’s a midship cooler that pulls double duty as a backrest, a
removable transom filler cushion to make a path to the swim
platform, and multiple wireless device chargers. The MaxPivot Seat™
at the rear takes the lounge from an ordinary bench seat to a snack
table complete with inset cupholders to a rear-facing seat to a sun
bed in seconds. Again, this is a laundry list of functional
amenities in itself, but the M242 goes far beyond with advances
never before seen on a Malibu. The all-new Raise-&-Laze Armrest
converts the observer seat into a full ergonomic lounger with the
touch of a button, perfect for a long day of watersports
spectating. The portside touch screen lets the crew control the
lighting, audio, and heater without going to the helm. Standard
three-layer, diamond-patterned Soft Grip is cool to the touch on
hot summer days, feels plush underfoot, and makes for quick and
easy cleanup after long lake days. Not to be outdone by the M242’s
feature-laden lounge, the optional G10+ tower holds four speakers,
four ratcheting swivel board racks, tower misters to keep the crew
cool, and the color-matched tubing means owners can customize their
tower to fit their personality. The electric lowering function
folds low for bridges and boatlifts with the turn of a dial and
raises just as easily—even fully loaded. The four tower speakers
compliment the M242’s unrivaled lounge audio setup. The new Wet
Sounds Zero 8 speakers with four subwoofers fill every inch of the
lounge with crisp, clean audio and ensure an equal listening
experience no matter where passengers are seated.
And finally, the most important seat in the cockpit is also one
of the most comfortable, stylish, and convenient. The M242’s
advanced helm features tech-forward innovations that put the
captain in full control of the boat’s myriad features. The Malibu
Command Center™ on the M242 consists of two, high-visibility,
marine-grade touch screens. The center, 12-inch touch screen is
perfectly placed to display watersports functionality and engine
data front and center without sacrificing the driver’s field of
view, and the second touch screen contains deeper functionality
that lets owners tailor the boat to their personal preferences with
features like award-winning zoned RGB lighting. Front and rear
cameras offer another level of safety and convenience, the electric
helm seat raises and lowers via dial, and a heavy-duty phone holder
with wireless charging keeps devices going all day. The creature
comforts in the M242’s helm go on and on. Continuing with
convenience, Malibu’s watersports presets put a perfect wake or
wave with various options at the driver’s fingertips. It’s as easy
as selecting the wakeboarding level or surf side, then hitting load
and letting the boat do all the work. Everyone is an expert on day
one with the M242.
When it’s time to tweak surf settings, there are multiple
options. The driver can do it from the center touch screen or the
rotary sport dial, or the rider can customize their perfect wave
while they ride with Surf Band™.
At the back, the M242’s ambition continues. The all-new E-Z
Stash Board Locker™ opens effortlessly on gas spring-assisted
hinges and stows full-size boards in a new wet storage area
exclusive to the M242. The Max-Relax Sundeck Lounger™ provides
either rear-facing seating or luxury chaise lounge seating through
a simple conversion, and Transom Misters ensure loungers stay cool
on scorching summer afternoons. And if the whole boat wants a break
from the heat, the standard extended awning shades nearly bow to
stern. The all-new swim platform has recessed cupholders and
integrates the Powered Flip-Down Swim Step™, which makes it easy
for both people and dogs to reboard after a long swim session.
Watersports performance is scalable from beginner to pro-level
almost instantly, with all skill levels benefitting from Malibu’s
iconic Wake Plus™ hull. This legendary running surface creates
smooth, crisp ramps for wakeboarding and ideal curls for surfing
straight from the factory with almost no effort. With Malibu’s
legendary Surf Gate® Fusion wave-making system, the M242 creates a
perfectly shaped, ocean-like wave on either side of the boat
without moving any weight from side-to-side. Adding to the M242’s
impressive water ballast numbers, Power Wedge® III—Malibu’s
patented reverse hydrofoil—works to lift and shape the wake or wave
to the rider’s preference. The M242 has the perfect wave for
everyone at every level, whether they wakeboard or surf, and it’s
incredibly convenient to set up.
The M242’s deep-hulled design makes for plenty of storage along
with a spray-free, comfortable ride for its 17-person capacity. The
hull depth contributes to the M242’s striking on and off-water
appearance, which features angular hull characteristics with
customizable gel coat combinations that give the boat a unique
look.
