    Boat wakes

    Thanks for the input and conversation all. Always nice to hear opinions. As Scott pointed out, I need to nail down what I want to do with it but unfortunately, at this time, it is probably 33% of each....skiing, tubing and the scenic cruise. I think I might sit tight for a year, try to ski...

    Boat wakes

    Hi all I have lurked here a bit off and on over the years as questions arise, but been mostly able to find answers without actually asking. Forums like this are great! But, now, a question. I have a 1999 Moomba Outback that is great. I have had it for about 8 years and when I got it, I planned...

    Help please "LadyBea" trailer...?

    I have purchased a Moomba boat that came with a trailer and I have imported it into Canada. To license the trailer in Canada, I need a compliance sticker or letter of compliance from the trailer manufacturer. The VIN tracks back to "LadyBea Trailers" but I cannot find any info on them. Does...

    Ski boats

    Re: Ski boats I just started poking around the Moomba site. Thanks for that. And another is "onlyinboards" or "inboardsonly". I am a little worried about the winterizing process but once I do it, it should be fine. Sounds like a lot of tubes to pull off. The previous owner was kind enough to...

    Ski boats

    I posted in the engines about a Honda vs an Evinrude on Silverline bowriders. In my continued search for boats, I have stumbled across a few ski boats (Moombas, Mastercrafts, ...) I have not considered one before as I don't know anything about them other than they generally have a big engine and...

    Honda 4 stroke or Evinrude FICHT

    HI I am wanting to upgrade (don't we all....:-) ) and looking at 2 Silverline boats, both 1700 LS One is 1999 with an Evinrude 115 FICHT and the other is a 2002 with a Honda 4 stroke 115 hp. Might be a no brainer for many or all but I am new(er) to boats. I have the impression that the 4...

    Buying a boat

    I was wondering if it is possible to look up the USA registration of a boat to see who owns it. I am looking at a boat over the internet and it sounds good and the guy sounds(via email) good but being so far away, I would like to do as much research on the boat as I can. And then I would be...

    1994 Mercury O/B sputtering/dying on take off

    I have just acquired this 1994 Merc 90 and found that upon "punching" it ie pulling a skier up, it sputters and dies. If I bring idle up for a couple of seconds or go for a fast short ride, then hook up skier and go quickly, it is better. It usually needs to be feathered up from idle for a while...

    ski pylon

    I have just acquired a Legend Sportfish 17 foot bowrider. I have used it for skiing a couple of times with a tow harness (http://www.gandermountain.com/modperl/product/details.cgi?i=39218&pdesc=16_Tow_Harness_For_Pontoon_Wide_Transom_Boats&aID=512F6C&merchID=4006) on the back of the boat. In the...
