I just purchased a left over 2010 Moomba Mobius LSV at the local boat show for what I think a good price. I'm wanting to know if this year is affected as well? I would like the contact info at SC, name and ext, please. I think I will get some sort of additional paper work covering me in the future. Option 2, move into a 2011 or jump up into a Supra. Any advive?
I wouldn't worry about it. I think the 2010s have glass clear to the front of the bow. But if not add an access port and add a step to your winterization procedure.
I have an 07 Outback V and thought I would have to do the same (drill hole / shop vac) untill I jacked up the front of my trailer while it was situated on an incline and lo and behold it drained!
So maybe you just find yourself a hill at the end of the season, pull out your chocks and then crank up the jack and see what hapens. Maybe you don't have to go about drilling holes afterall.
Worked for me!:D
I'm sure, like all new things, they look good and work great (the way the manufactured intended)....The one thing which bothers me, is this an issue which will occures over time, meaning a few years from now? I would like to have peace of mind knowing this problem has been resolved in the 2010, so I just want to cover my hinny for down the road.
Lov the boat, lov the price!
This is my first wake boat, I just traded in my 2008 185 Sea Ray on the Moomba LSV 2010. I was looking for something which has a little something for everyone in my family. My 6yr daughter loves being in the bow, so got the filler cousion to make the playpen. My wife loves laying in the sun, so the boat has a nice sun deck/pad. My 16yr son likes tubing and just hanging out with his buds, so need a boat with some room.....and last but not least, I like watching my family having fun. We haven't tried wake surfing yet but look forward to it :cool:
Order up your 750 or 1100 fatsac and get a board. It's a lot of fun!
Well guys, just had a GREAT conversation with John at SC, he has assured me that this issue has been fixed from 09 forward. Since 09 they changed the adhesive and fitting process between hull and deck. Guess I'm in the clear but will follow to see if any 09,10 or 11's have problems. Just to be on the safe side I will also be adding an inspection/access plate to keep an eye on things down there.
That's great for you fortunately ... unfortunately the rest of us are still screwed. :cool:
call john back and tell him he needs to fix my 08
If #2 is a viable option, don't let your wife know that SC said you are in the clear and go buy a 2011 Supra Launch 22V. I'll come up when the snow melts and help you break it in. :)Quote:

It would not really matter much to the dealer which boat i go with as they are both new and I didn't take ownership of the Moomba yet, just a 25k deposit. :)
Stay or upgrade, what say you?????
I wish I had thought about useing this water in the hull to my advantage-Never thought to use that as a excuse to the wife to upgrade to a 2011 LSV
No real advantage to go from the 2010 to the 2011 Moomba LSV, the only upgrade that will be worth while is a XLV or a Supra.
I don't see the advantage of going from your '08 to an '11 either. The ballast system would be better but you have already modded that anyway and a bunch of other stuff is done or on the way. What do you have -- about 110 hrs. on that blue baby?
I agree your 08 is just fine so put a little cream on that nasty itch and enjoy :)
130hrs and am thinking about redoing that frankenstein fillin systemQuote:

Yep, I really hate the system I ended up with-pisspoor planing on my part. Been talking with wakemakers a little about the reversible pumps-if I end up with those 1100lb bags I want to be able to surf both sides and will want to do the IBS so would do 4 reverseible pumps.
DO IT! With those monster 1100s you'd need both fast fill and drain. That would be a super clean install too...Quote:

Dude you may have a change of tune when it's minus 30 in Alberta and your boats belly is "maybe" full of water.
Boat is in Kelowna /Summer Land right next door to you :D. My in-laws live on Swan Lake so we do alot of boating on Kal and Okanagan as well as the Shuswap. Maybe i'll see you around....i'll be out for a sea trial on April 15
just went in to the garage to see how the boat is doing. checked the hole in the ski locker and it's still soaked in there after being open all winter.. (of course it was below freezing in the garage, so it most likely didn't have an opportunity to dry)
any suggestions of getting it significantly dryer before patching up the fiberglass?
Don't patch it up as you'll more than likely get more in there. Add an access door like many have done then you can use a shop vac to suck it up.Quote:

It's a known issue and there's plenty out there with the issue. Search the sight and you'll find 'em.Quote:

all I can say is take out your bags and that mat and look around...
where did you guys get the 4" inch covers. finally got to the bow today to look at the heater project and the ski locker had some surface water at well as under the gas tank. I thought no big deal. i cleaned it up, pulled the bag and mat, walked on the ski locker floor and water started spurting though a couple 1/8 inch size holes. ads me to the list....:mad:
i will post my video later once it hits photobucket

They have deck plates at Academy if you have one of those nearby.
Looks like you have a gusher there - Black Gold, Texas Tea??? :rolleyes:
Going to pull my 06 LSV out of storage this week and among other things she's getting a removable deck plate too...
I removed that nastymat and threw it away last year. I cleaned the ski locker and put a plug in it. The plug popped out and it was all wet so I cleaned/dried it again last week. This time I remembered to walk on it to see if it is soft or anything. Mine's as firm as any other part of the floor. We'll see if it stays that way.
Mine was pretty dry until we took some rollers over the bow for the first time last year.. the price you pay to surf....:D
anyone have a photo of the access port installed? did you just silicone and screw the port into your fiberglass? not sure on the installation procedure..
I posted a thread in 9/08 on this very topic. Two of the members posting on this thread were part of the discussion. So my boat has had the issue since new in 08.
Took it out of storage at the lake yesterday and brought it home 35miles. The ski locker had water in it(no it did not rain on the way home). Like everyone else push on the floor of the locker and water noise is heard. Have had it winterized at the local dealership every year.
So Skiers Choice, I love my boat. When we got a dealership here I talked the brand up to everyone (and still do).
Seems like these issues are particularly prominent in 2008 Moombas( some other years as well):
1) water under the ski locker
2) trailer (Boatmate) axles failing
3) swim platform bracket issues
I understand things happen. However when they happen repeatedly there is design, manufacturing oversite.
Could Skier's Choice possibly show some good will by offering to have dealerships inspect these areas free of charge to put the owners at ease?
It would be nice to get back to talking about how much we really love our great preforming, great value Moombas!
