2011 21 VLX potential purchase...opinions please

Well we are out here!! It’s great. The wife and I floating around till the boys get off work and try some boarding. 
only thing is the service warning keeps coming on, and I’m limited to 3000 rpm. Reading up on it, it could be anything from low batteries to a faulty engine coolant sensor. So, some minor work to do. Everything else seems in order. Oh, other than the maliview delaminating. Which I already knew about. Having a hard time to get the switch button to get to the blower button. 
But, I’ll work through all that. The boats used. That’s how she goes!

floating and relaxing.

Ok. Ongoing! 
Got the rpm sorted out. Looks like the rpm limit was set in the maliview. Got that cleared up. Now getting full 5000 rpm. All good. 
Next, the left and front tank won’t fill. Centre tank and right filled. I see wiring is disconnected at the left tank pump. Is each tank serviced with its own pump? And also the sensor for the right tank isn’t showing properly. Shows 25 percent but it’s full and coming out the overflow on the side. 
All minor stuff. 
Oh, and one of the wedge actuators is broken at the mount eyelet on the wedge end. I had asked the dealer about the actuators, and he said oh yeah all good. Apparently not! 
Again, used boat. Not complaining about anything. Just happy to be out here finally after 10 years of waiting!!

Yes each tank has its own fill and drain pumps. Bow fill pump is most likely in the middle of the floor near the center hull drain plug and the left rear tank is probably just in the front left of the engine. 
 

Should be able to access the right rear tank sensor from under the floor in the right rear storage compartment.

So, I pretty much have everything sorted out so far. The tank filling and drain issue has been sorted out. Plugged a couple plugs in and things work ok. Still won’t drain the front tank. Took it home and worked through it pretty quick to find the drain pump was blowing fuses. Pulled the pump out and too it apart. Was hard to turn, so I took the motor out and lubed it up. Got it working enough to drain the tank. 
Got a couple pump cartridges so I can change them out as we drove through Bismarck, North Dakota so I’ll be able to swap it out when I get back. And I bought an extra for a spare  

Next up was the wedge actuator. Took it off and took it apart. Was a bit damp in there but everything seems to be ok besides the mounting tab. Going to try machine one out of aluminum, and if anyone reading this knows where I can get actuators that don’t work, I’ll take them off their hands! 
 

Currently sitting in Provo, Utah for work. Took a trip to Taylor’s Boats. Beautiful place. Picked out an M220 for when it’s time to upgrade!! 😂

 

Was looking for some parts and swag. Didn’t have everything I needed, but they said Malibu Parts is just down the road. Ya don’t say!!!! So, a quick call over there and they said come on up! So we went there and met Spencer and Steve from Malibu Parts and got loaded up with some things I was going to order anyway. Spencer was great to meet and talk boats and parts with. I can definitely see spending some more money there in the future. 
Tried to find some used actuators, but no luck so far. 
 

Anyway, thought I’d give an update where we are on the boat side of things.
