End Game

Malibu carried over the super-functional transom seating design of the 247 LSV to the MXZ. You lose lounge area — the VLX’s sun pad is about 60 percent larger — but you gain a handy spot to get set for a session, including flip-up seats that reveal dual wet storage compartments.

Final word: The MXZ’s transom has a ride-first feeling, but the VLX allows the ladies more room to lay out. Where do your loyalties lie?
