The 2005 Malibu Wakesetter 21 VLX is a legendary wakeboat that helped define modern wake sports. Designed for riders and families seeking world-class performance without sacrificing comfort or style, this 21-foot V-drive offers the perfect blend of agility, power, and customization. At the heart of the 21 VLX is Malibu’s renowned engineering. With a length of 21.5 feet and a beam of 98 inches, it’s compact enough to maneuver easily, yet spacious enough to accommodate up to 11 passengers. Powered by an Indmar Monsoon 340 V8 engine, the 21 VLX delivers reliable thrust and smooth acceleration—ideal for towing wakeboarders, wakesurfers, and skiers alike. The deep-V hull design and optional Malibu Launch System (MLS) ballast tanks ensure perfectly shaped wakes for every level of rider. Performance is further enhanced by Malibu’s proprietary Wake Hull, optimized for clean, consistent wake formation. Whether you're carving hard or popping off the lip, the 21 VLX’s hull design and ballast capabilities offer precise control and predictable tracking. Many 2005 models are also equipped with the optional Wedge hydrofoil, which can be deployed to further customize the size and shape of the wake, offering riders a more vertical lift or a longer ramp depending on preference. Inside, the Wakesetter 21 VLX provides a functional yet refined interior. Premium vinyl upholstery, wraparound lounge seating, and a spacious bow ensure comfort during long days on the water. The helm features intuitive controls, analog gauges, and, in some models, the classic Malibu LCD display—giving the captain all the tools needed to monitor engine performance and ballast systems. Storage is abundant throughout the boat, with dedicated compartments for gear, boards, and personal items. A premium audio system—often factory-upgraded with tower speakers and subwoofers—keeps the vibe alive whether you’re cruising the lake or setting the tone for a session. Built with Malibu's trademark quality, the 2005 VLX remains a sought-after model in the used market for its combination of timeless design and wake performance. Its balance of size, power, and versatility makes it a standout choice for wake enthusiasts who want proven reliability with pro-level capability. Whether you're a seasoned rider or a family just getting into water sports, the 2005 Malibu Wakesetter 21 VLX offers a premium experience that has stood the test of time.
