Malibu LXi Review

Earlier in the year we had the invite from Malibu’s National Marketing Manager David Thorpe to visit Malibu’s state of the art manufacturing facility and headquarters in Albury, NSW, to check out the latest Response LXi – the legendary three-event tournament boat that is also the first choice of skiing families across Australia.

Boat Review: XFI Genesis

We nipped down to Carrum during early September for our first boat review of the new season. On the water was the latest version of the XFI Genesis ski boat, and it was a welcome sight after months of dreary weather.

Boat Review: Tige Z1

Ben Wilson was up on the Sunshine Coast during April and had a chance to catch up with Mick Watkins, the New QLD Tige dealer, to water test the all-new Tige Z1 21foot V-drive crossover wake/ski boat. Large V-drives have very much been the domain of wakeboarders in the past, but Tige – thanks to high-tech hull design and an innovative cavitation plate system – have managed to produce an all-rounder that can also produce a nice slalom wake.

SPY01

Boat Review: Spy Boats TS21

Lake Eildon, up in Victoria’s High Country, might be a bit nippy in the middle of winter, but if proved a great location to put Spy’s TS21 through its paces.
