| freemanliz's Full Review: Malibu Sportster LX |
I bought mine new and have had no problems. It is a great ski/barefoot boat. Wakeboarders would want a fatsac or wedge as the wakes are nice and small. If you want to cruise around on a big lake or in chop, do not buy ANY inboard ski boat - go get some runabout v-hull boat. This boat has one purpose - to ski, not to cruise around. All true inboard ski boats, Mastercraft, Nautique, etc. have a bad ride in rough water and have loud V-8 engines. The trade off is incredible performance in good skiing conditions. The Sportster is a base model boat, if you want bells and whistles, go buy a Response or something else (and pay at least 10 grand more).
