this is a Malibu Response LXi  center console fishing/wakeboard/skiing boat.  you have not seen one of these before because it is a "ONE OFF" build.  I spoke with a gentleman at the Malibu factory about this boat. he has been with the company long enough and remembered the boat.  he explained to me that it is a response lxi hull and drive line but with a center console and more of a fishing interior.  the boat is 21ft long plus the swim platform, which by the way is awesome to fish from.  the engine is a 5.7 vortec V8 that starts right up and runs very well.   this boat is on plane immediately and performs great.  we took it to the lake this past weekend for the last time and had a great day.  ran about a quarter tank of gas through it with no issues.  I just wonder how cool it would be if it had a wakeboard tower....poling platform....bowfishing???.somethings to know before bidding...this boat is 13yrs old and not perfect.  I cannot read what each switch on the dash is.   I know some of the lights work, bilge,  and the stereo works sometimes.  there are some cuts in the carpet but it is 90% good.  I have not connected the trolling motor to batteries to see if it works and I don't think the fish locator on the dash works. we have probably put 1000 miles on the trailer and it has done great with no issues.  PLEASE,,,,IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS CALL ME....my name is dan 417-839-5031I do have this boat for sale locally and reserve the right to end the auction early if I get a good enough offer.HAVE YOUR FINANCES ARRANGED PRIOR TO THE CLOSE OF THE AUCTION
