All,
I'm a big fan of the boats and the site but haven't yet bought a boat. I'd love to buy new, but the prices and the amount of time I have to spend on the lake don't warrant it.
Right now, I am looking at an '01 Outback LS. From researching the site, it appears to me this was a new hull for '01 that lasted through '05, for both Outback and Mobius LS? It may also have been the LSV hull for a couple of years? I also noticed that in 2004, the weight of the boat went up about 300 pounds, but length, beam, etc. stayed the same.
I want a family boat that can ski well and my young kids could learn to ski and wakeboard behind. I understand a tower can be added without too much trouble for $1 to $2k?
I grew up skiing behind a 19 foot searay primarily and occasionally an old Supra ts6m. Still have use of boats, but none that ski worth a darn. I'm not very good, but still enjoy to ski occasionally and want a boat the kids can have fun with, but that we could also have another couple out on the water on for the day and have fun swimming, floating, relaxing. Do you recommend this boat? Also, any things to look for in particular when I inspect the boat. It has the 320 hp efi engine, but not many other options.
Thanks for your thoughts as I am looking to learn.
