After moving from Ohio to Texas, I finally was able to justify the purchase of a new boat. I grew up with I/Os as a kid and used to ski on the Great Miami outside of Sidney, OH. Now want to get back into it, plus pick up wake boarding and surfing. The Moomba is a completely different beast compared to the boats I grew up with. It is amazing how she handles and the short time to plane. Have had it in the water several times already and am working on docking and slow speed maneuvering in tight places. I am slowly but surely earning my "Rite of Passage into Moomba V-Drive awesomeness"! Hopefully I will manages without any bumps and bruises!
