Which hold value best
Share of asking price lost for each year of age. Shorter is better. The tick marks the same type of boat from other builders. Models need 20 boats across six build years, and a consistent fit, to be ranked.
The Wakesetter 23 LSV is the only Malibu model with enough boats to rank: it loses 7.2% a year of age.

A used Malibu asks a median of £53,000 across 92 boats listed since Aug 2020, in today's prices. The middle half ask between £26,000 and £85,000. These are asking prices, not sold prices.
Does a Malibu hold its value?

Why is a Malibu model missing a price?
We publish a model once five boats have been listed. 13 models are listed above with their count so far, including the Wakesetter 21 XTi, the Wakesetter 22 LSV and the Wakesetter 247 LSV, and will get a published figure when they reach five.
