BOAT REVIEW

MB’s 24V Sport Deck was designed for families who are looking for runabout comfort and space, but don’t want to sacrifice inboard performance and safety. Its open bow features a removable table, and is deep and wide to ensure everyone feels safe. In the main cabin, a head and freshwater sink make this wakeboard and ski boat ideal for all-day outings, and the V-drive setup is versatile enough for both skiing and riding. If you’re looking for space and performance that will cater to the whole family, this is definitely a boat to consider.

PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS
The most attractive feature of the 24V’s performance is its ability to combine runabout comfort with inboard performance. On this 24-foot boat, walk-around and storage space is not an issue. And impressively, neither is the handling or tracking. Its V-drive setup performs with the predictability and responsiveness that make inboard boats so fun to drive, establishing the 24V as one of the best performers in its size class.

With a head and sink on board, it’s clear that the 24V’s main goal is to entertain a large crew all day, and its wake characteristics meet the challenge. Its standard 375 hp engine houses plenty of power to get this boat up to 32 mph for advanced recreational skiing, with suitable wakes at 15 off. Beginning riders in the family will appreciate the non-threatening ramps with smooth transitions.
