Thinking about buying a Moomba!!

I also have a 2001 Outback LS. I purchased it used in 2005 with around 150 hours on it. I've replaced the swim platform padding, and upgraded the cup holders with stainless steel. Boat has operated flawlessly.

what did you replace the swim platform padding with? I was thinking of doing the same.

I went with Hydro-Turf Molded Diamond 40" x 62" sheet, and added 3M self adhesive. Cost was about $100.

The sheet wasn't large enough to do the whole platform, so I had to section it in 3 pieces. I took measurements off of a new Moomba platform. The newer platform pads are in three sections.

I tried all kinds of ways to get the adhesive residue from the old padding off of the platform. I found that the easiest way was to use a heat gun with a plastic scraper. This will get 95% off, then use acetone with a soft cloth to remove the rest.

Thanks for the advice. It looks good. My outback ls looks just like yours, except I don't have the tower. Good looking boat!
