Do Malibu and Axis Boats really use 25 GPH Gallons per hour?

- Today we bust some big online myths about fuel consumption on the Malibu and Axis boats. This is a real world fuel efficiency test of what to expect while surfing with no breaks. Wanted to show in real time these boats get anywhere from 8-12GPH depending on wedge control. Boat featured today was a 2022 Malibu 23 LSV with the LT4 Supercharged 6.2L Engine. Look forward to producing more of these videos. Any specific model you want to see between Malibu, Axis, Nautique, Montara, or Bennington let me know!

Thanks for the video, just started my research for a boat and that’s one of my questions I have yet to get an answer for.
Do you recall what prop you were running? Elevation?
Can anyone tell me if it is common to experience heavy steering pull on the supercharged Raptor motors?
You probably need a steering cable. The motor does not affect the steering capabilities of a boat.
@@RecreationCertified thanks! The service technicians and the sales staff were telling me it is completely normal to have steering pull on these high torque motors. Maybe they just want to sell a boat, I don’t know
I’ve owned 3 other inboard tow boats and driven many others and have never come across that before. It’s not that noticeable towing while surfing, but when I am just cruising at speeds over 20mph it gets worse and worse. The boat is super clean and perfect otherwise, not sure if I should buy it? It’s a 2016 Malibu LSV25 with 420 hrs on engine. Engine is the 6.2L 575
I like Malibu. But the reason I didn’t go with it was fighting the steering wheel while surfing. Still a really nice boat, but wanted ease of operating for my wife and kids if I’m surfing.
What year boat, what size boat, how many tracking fins, what kind of steering?
@@RecreationCertified im assuming whatever it came with. It was a 2021 23 LSV. I just know that when the surf gate deployed it pulled a lot more than the centurion, supreme, Supra, and Moomba did. I will admit, making a good wave is really easy on it, but fighting the steering wheel the entire time surfing would have bothered my wife.
Sounds like you found the perfect boat for you family. We carry 6 brands so I understand shopping for the right one. @@alwaysboatin659
Great video: could you do a Nautique S21 with the zz5 engine, please?
We do not order the ZZ5 for our area. We are above sea level and typically opt for the same motor that is in this boat the 6.2L
