FInally got a Wakeboard Boat

chris_hargis 07-27-2005, 2:44 PM

Just thought I would share my new boat with you guys. After years of begging and looking and drooling, momma said yes. We got a 2005 Moomba Mobius LSV.

I have already ordered the tower speakers and board rack for it. The bimini will be ready in about another week. She is like a dream to drive, and the wake is way more than I ever had with my fish and ski.

Great value boat, the wake can get huge with about 1200 lbs of ballast with 8 people in the boat and the plate adjusted

Yeah Jeffrey, I just got back on the 8th of this month from my one year sentence. It was a great year, but I sure did miss my family.

Randy, I just saw this one in the showroom and loved it, so I didn't have to think about color choice. I don't think that I would have thought about hose colors together, so I am glad that I saw it.

Congrats on the new ride! The colors were my high-school arch rival's, but that's ok, looks good. ;)

My ex-boss has an LSV like that, and loves it.

I got my speaker enclosures (Audio Formz) and am working on painting them to match, I will get another pic up when I get them mounted. I have to try to find some grills right now since I got rid of part of mine Infinity Reference grills when I put them in the PVC tubes I made. I have a guy at the car audio place working on getting me some from the installs they do on cars.

Very nice man, I'm envious! How do the Moombas compare to other wakeboats out there?

chris_hargis 07-29-2005, 3:00 PM

Ok, here are some shots of the speakers now that I have them on. Good call david, I will update the profile.
Austin, I can only compare it to a Super Air as that is all I have ridden behind, and I like it. The Super Air had a bigger wake, but we had extra ballest and 8 people in it. Some on here say you can make the wake on the LSV huge too. I am impressed with the driving, and the wake.

I think they turned out pretty good. Now I just need to get some info on LED accent lights so I can add a few of those to the interior to make it look great at night. I am open to suggestions on that one.

congrats on the boat. correct me if im wrong but for some reason i remember you riding around on a bass boat?
btw thanks for the info on the diy site regarding speakers. i had no idea how i was gonna mount my 8" speaker into the pvc. but now i got it. anyway congrats again.

chris_hargis 07-29-2005, 8:23 PM

You are not wrong, had a procraft fish and ski for 4 years before we got this. Put a joystick roll cage on it, had a ballast, eveything (but the big wake). Needless to say, I am much happier with this boat. Glad I could be of help with the site.
