2005 Malibu Sunsetter LXi – Direct Drive Precision | 320HP Indmar Gas Engine | Exceptionally Clean

This 2005 Malibu Sunsetter LXi (20.5’) is a highly regarded direct-drive ski and wake boat known for its balanced wake, responsive handling, and classic Malibu build quality. The LXi series is especially popular among slalom skiers, while still offering the versatility to produce a clean, tunable wake for wakeboarding.

The open-bow layout features a wraparound rear lounge and a convenient center transom walk-through, making it both functional and comfortable for family and friends. The wake is ideal for slalom skiing and can be easily adjusted for wakeboarding using the factory Malibu Wedge, giving you flexibility for multiple riding styles.

Power comes from the Indmar LCR 320 HP V8, delivering strong torque and smooth acceleration. With approximately 530 hours, the engine reflects proper use and ongoing care. This boat has been regularly serviced, stored in a covered stall, and very well maintained throughout its life.

Cosmetically, the boat presents beautifully. The gel coat is in excellent condition, and the upholstery shows only minimal wear—clear signs of attentive ownership. It’s truly turn-key and ready for the water.
