My wife and I are looking for our first boat for the family (have a couple young boys). Primary use would be wakeboarding, some surfing, and probably some tubing for the boys on our local lakes out in CA. Since it is our first boat, Id prefer something older and more cost effective. That said would really like factory ballast (with little kids, I dont really want to deal with holding pumps, and I dont want to lose storage) and perfect pass.
I found a couple Moombas and have been doing research but wanted a few questions.
05 Mobius lsv
- 300 hrs
- 3 factory ballast
- needs some upholstery work on the engine cover
- does not have pp / need to add
08 Outback v
- 150 hours
- front ballast tank
- pp
Getting some quotes on the upholstery but I think price will come out about the same with fixing the upholstery and adding pp to the mobius.
A couple specific questions:
1. I looked at the archives and the dimensions looked the same. Are they the same boat/ hull?
2. In think in read here or maybe a different forum that quality improved around 07/08. Is that accurate? If so, what kinds of things improved?
3. If I get some ballast bags for the rear lockers on the Outback, will the wakes be comparable for wakeboarding / surfing?
4. Are there other differences between the two models I should be considering?
Would appreciate any input on the above or other experiences/advice on these two boats. Thanks!
