Tige 22V Wakeboard Boat Mastercraft Malibu Project

This boat is up for sale as a project. The boat has been with Maven Marine (Malibu & Axis Boats main dealer) for the last 4 years having various bits done on it and they have now decided it needs a new Engine. My life circumstances have changed (now have 2 children) and I no longer have time or money to spend on the boat. Below is a list of works done by Maven from an email I have been sent: - Engine removal, clean up and basic stripping to fully diagnose all faults and weak spots; lots of corrosion and bodges are evident. Done - Engine compression check and careful monitoring.

The engine had water in it (Not winterised properly if at all), therefore it is possible that we could have a cracked or damaged block. Done - Replace engine mounts Done - Major engine Service including ALL consumables and gaskets where required. Done - V-drive requires service and clean-up. Done - New ignition module and coil (Faulty)Done - New Alternator (Current one seized solid)Done - New Crank sensor Done - Replacement Starter Done - Wiring harness requires removal, comprehensive testing as currently it shows faults. Likely replacing or repairing Decided to replace - coolant temp sender is faulty.

Done - Oil pressure sender and switch require replacement Done - General nuts/bolts and fittings around the engine require replacement. Done - taps system does not work, requires further investigation. Done - The dash wiring in general is in very poor health with many repairs and faults. I would suggest we strip, re-wire and replace any failed gauges, switched etc. Done The boat cover has a hole in the front and upholstery is not in the best condition.

The boat cost me £ 15,000 and I have spent £ 5,000 on repairs so far. I’ve been told a new 5.7L engine would be about £ 3,000 then you would have an amazing wakeboard boat. The boat has a trailer which is fine for a yard trailer but isn’t really suitable for towing on the road so you would need to organise collection. The boat has the TAPS wake system and 4 Ballast tanks. If you know what you are looking at you can see that this is a very cheap price for this boat.
