Many thanks to Skiers Choice (Moomba) and Atlanta Marine for helping Georgia Tech choose and get a quality ski boat to practice with. Our boat has pulled our skiing practices and been a safety/pickup boat for our tournament this fall.

We are very satisfied with the quality of the boat, the abundance of cupholders (particularly by the drivers seat), the rear storages, and large connected front storage are extremely useful.

Wake With skiers who ski tournaments behind Mastercrafts, Malibus, and Nautiques with practice lengths off to 35' off we were satisfied with the Moomba wake. At 15' off we found the bump just noticeably bigger than the Malibu LXI - while the wake was bigger than a Nautique it's softness is a notable compromise. When practicing at and beyond 32' off we're before the bump and going too fast to notice the difference.

Compromise While we also have a wakeboard boat (Tige' 20v) some of our better and dedicated boarders and skaters have enjoyed our outback's fuel economy with reasonable wake (with wake plate).
Negatives The seats are not plush like our other boat, but that just makes our skier change a little quicker.

About Us The Georgia Tech Water Ski club has been around since the late 1970s. The club competes with its local NCWSA Conference (the South Atlantic Conference). This fall we made 8th at eastern regionals with a top skier rank of 21st. We slalom, barefoot, wakeboard, wakeskate, kneeboard, trick, and jump. Our boats are kept at Holiday Harbor on Allatoona. We're happy to be growing and be a great escape for students to the lake.
