Open or closed bow the 2002 Response Series was designed with competitive level performance in mind. Built on the award-winning SV23 Diamond hull, the Response series is recognized as the world?s finest performing slalom boat. The appearance of the Response been pumped with newly design in-the-mold four-color gel coat graphics and new drip-molded Malibu side decals. Inside, the Response has been fitted with a durable space age floor that dampens sound and supports a new sleek, low profile motor box. Humming beneath that dome the standard 310hp Vortec engine swiftly pushes the Response through the course. Malibu?s IRT (Instantaneous Response Technology) system enables precision handling and pinpoint turning of this dynamic boat, which will thrill drivers. Malibu?s aptly named Response series is living up to its world-class reputation again this year.
