Malibu Boats is to continue its long-standing partnership with General Motors (GM).
The partnership extends the wakeboat brand’s exclusive collaboration with GM Marine for the integration of the Monsoon Line of engines at the Malibu Boats Factory in Loudon, Tennessee, and names Chevrolet as Malibu’s official vehicle brand
It builds on the current long-standing relationship between Malibu Boats and GM’s engineering departments to develop and produce the Malibu Monsoon Line of engines — exclusive to Malibu and Axis Boats.
Using GM engine blocks, the Malibu engineering team designs and marinises the engines in-house to meet the demands of boating with modifications to simplify maintenance and reduce corrosion.
The engines are also designed to offer performance, fuel economy, reliability and sound reduction.
Malibu and GM share a commitment to using cutting-edge technology.

“GM’s partnership with Malibu Boats is a natural fit,” said Rachael Green, senior vice president, operations and engineering at Malibu Boats.
“Malibu and GM share a commitment to using cutting-edge technology to empower our customers to create perfect memories on the water.
“Our long-standing partnership with GM currently allows us to build our top-of-line engines that power the best wakes and waves in the industry, and this enhanced partnership will only allow us to showcase this further across the nation.”
“We’re honoured to be named the official vehicle brand of Malibu Boats,” said Amy Masica, director of marketing at Chevrolet.
“Both our brands rely on GM’s reliable engines to get customers where they need to go – whether it be on land or on the water.”
Chevrolet is GM’s largest vehicle brand and sells the Silverado, Tahoe and Suburban models.
