My project boat
Hi all ..just recieved my first wakeboarding boat. I found it in Las vegas and i live in Canada. It was a bank repo, and apperently when the boats are about to be repossed the owner rips off as much as he can, which in this case the prop/rudder/swim platform/engine/and tower.I've been searching the net for rudder specs/prop specs etc. not much out there on moomba. I was wondering if there exists a parts manual ( not owners manual) any help on these parts would be greatly appreciated. I will continue to post pics as the project progresses.

Document your progress with lots of pictures. You have a blank slate and can make exactly the boat that you want. Look into the most HP motor that you can get. I gave the guys at AWS in Oregon a call and they were pretty knowldgable, try them for a parts manual. Cross check sizes, you may find a MC or Bu rudder may work.

When it comes to people knowing their stuff is going to repossessed they figure they may as well make some money buy selling the equipment. It makes sense but it doesn't make sense to make a large purchase cutting it that close to your budget.

No Engine. Someone must hate the bank. This is a good time to do it right. Have you contacted SC to see if they will send you a parts list? I look forward to see how your progress comes along.

I sure your local moomba dealer will help you with what ever question you have. As for the engine try going through Indmar direct, may be cheaper. I know one member was quoted 6k for a motor for a 2008 LS.
How did you find that boat, your a long ways from Vegas baby!

Hey gang !! I will absolutely document every step by pic, as for the samson tower i looked it up but not too crazy about the looks. Hey Brad you heard right LOL Yes the tranny is gone as well I will call aws first thing monday morning, especially for the parts manual. Hi Sled I googled xlv and found it by fluke, a car dealer there bought it at an auction. Thanks a million for all the replies.

Sometimes a fluke is the only way. Good luck with your project.
