Hi Everyone!
Im New to this forum and im very thankful for all the help its given me so far. Im looking to buy a wakesurf/wakeboard boat and I found a 2007 Moomba Outback V for 24500. I have a hesitation with this boat because the compression test was as follows:
Cylinder 1- 130psi
Cylinder 2- 125psi
Cylinder 3- 120psi
Cylinder 4- 120psi
Cylinder 5- 165psi
Cylinder 6- 160psi
Cylinder 7- 120psi
Cylinder 8- 150psi
also the alternator seized during the mechanical inspection due to corrosion and the tech was able to free it... for now.
I guess what Im asking is if this is normal or too low for a motor with 350 hours on it. do you think I could get more bang for my buck with something else?
not too much I want to keep it around 25k
I would keep looking. That's a big difference between cylinders.
Jumping to an 06 or 07 LSV would be my suggestion if you can find a way to swing it. At the end of the season I bet you'll see some great examples in the higher 20s. It would be a more upfront but I think you'd be glad you did it.
The outback is a great boat though and I think you'd be happy with it as well. Either way, hopefully we can welcome you to the family soon.
Ill sell you my Mobius for 14500. solid boat, great motor, low hours.

thanks guys, the seller is going to get a second opinion on his own, he was as surprised as I was when we saw the results. there's others out there, hopefully with less saltwater damage
Welly72,
I'd love to check out your boat! just a little far for me...
salt water would be an immediate no-go for me, no matter the hours or condition.

One of my friends purchased a boat that was supposedly in salt water once and two years later spent $5k for motor replacement.
