MBUU

Malibu Boats, Inc.

A maker of recreational powerboats sold under eight brands—Malibu and Axis performance sport boats, Pursuit and Maverick Group offshore fishermen, and Cobalt cruisers—built in its own facilities and sold through a global dealer network. Founded in 1982 by six waterskiing friends in Merced, California who wanted to build "the ultimate ski boat," it now makes its own Monsoon engines in-house. Its patented Surf Gate system replaced the old trick of shifting ballast and passengers to shape a wake for surfing.
