    Default Used Moomba Outback Question

    Howdy everybody.

    New to this Forum.

    Looking at buying a used 2005 Moomba Outback.

    Was hoping to get some feedback and/or prior owner input on buying one.

    Any advice, suggestions, or warnings?

    Thanks

    First off, welcome.
    How many hours?
    Direct drive or v drive?
    Which watersports are you planning on doing with it?
    I have a 2008 outback and the family loves it. Its a versatile do everything boat for little money invested versus some of the competitors. If its been well looked after it will serve you well but without more info its hard to give a good description of what to expect.

    Sorry,

    270hrs

    Direct drive. Has perfect pass. Looks well cared for, some small initial seat wear, clean engine.

    This a EFI or carb? Can't seem to find that.

    Lake cruising/general use, tubing, knee boarding....trying wakeboard and sking. Got a 6 yr old.

    Last boat I had was a bay liner 18ft 4.3, btw

    Could be either, did it have Assault on the breather cover? If so MPI.

    We just got a 2004 mobius dd last summer after 30+ years of runabouts in the family. Best boating choice we ever made.

    Be sure to test drive whatever you buy. Have the seller show you how to dock... It's way different than with i/os and outboards. You'll also need to take into account the low bow in rough chop at low speeds. Nothing that would ever have me switching boats, just new things to get used to.

    Perhaps the single most important thing to look for is evidence of routine maintenance. If it was properly cared for, you'll be getting a solid boat.

    Seems really well cared for. Engine is shiny, so is the paint. Test drove it and it ran like a champ. Shot out of the hole like no runabout I've ever owned. Only has 239 hours on the meter. Got some normal nicks and seats have a couple small wear spots but very very clean and just overal showed well.
