2008 Moomba mobius LS/SK.. is it worth it?

[Jdscott512]

Hi guys,

Im new to the forum as i am looking at a 08 moomba mobius and want to know what you guys think. This will be my first boat and i love how this boat looks! they want $25,500 for it but i talked them down to $24k... its got 507 hours on the original engine and the boat it self is is great condition. is this boat worth this much? i could have already bought it but im putting a hold on it as i dont want to make a stupid purchase just because i like the boat ..

Thank you guys for all your input!

You are in v-drive territory in the mid 20’s. To me a direct drive isn’t worth anywhere close to that these days.

It looks favorable to the NADA price.

Sort of agree. That not looks clean and it isn’t priced ridiculously, but I would go for a v-drive if all you want to do is surf or wakeboard. If skiing is a big priority get the direct drive LS. If skiing isn’t even on the radar skip the direct drive......seriously.

the real question is are you wanting a direct drive or a v drive? If you plan on doing mostly skiing then a direct drive is for you. If you want more room, better boat for surfing and all around use, then a v drive is what you want. I don't know what direct drives are going for these days but for upper 20's you could find a nice Mobius LSV v drive.

Unless you're a die hard skier skip it and get a v-drive.

The direct drive models are good for sking and not much else. If you want to entertain(that engine hump takes up a lot of room), wakeboard/surf you want the v-drive.

What do you guys think about 507 hours? Is that a lot of hours ?

Not really, just depends on if the boat was taken care of. From the picks it looks good. You can get a vdrive for that price, direct drives should be around d high teens.

Sorry if we're all being negative towards the direct drive version, but unless your a die hard skier you'll want a vdrive drive.

What are you going to use the boat for?
