WATERSKI MagazineMoomba Mobius XLV Gravity Edition
OVERVIEW
Being the official sponsor of the Gravity Games gives Moomba every right to name a boat in honor of this extreme event, right? That's exactly why it offers the Gravity Edition package in the Mobius XLV — it's all about extreme wakeboarding action.
With the Gravity Edition you get all the bling to prove that you mean business on the water — licensed sponsor graphics, custom gelcoat, stainless-steel rub rails and an upgraded driver's console.
The XLV Gravity Edition has the wake to go against many of the top wakeboarding machines on the market, but at a fraction of the cost, without any cut corners in manufacturing. There's a ton of chill room in this boat — enough for 14 brothers of your posse to be completely comfortable. We especially liked the high freeboard design and all the storage compartments.
WAKEBOARDING
Not only does the Mobius XLV Gravity Edition look the part of a high-end wakeboarding machine, it acts the part, too. In its stock configuration you get a 600-pound center ballast bag, which gave our testers good-sized wakes with perfect shape. When we added our full test ballast of 1,200 pounds, our session was all about going big. Beautiful transitions and lips that give you just the right amount of kick stoked our team of hard-core riders. This hull was designed exclusively with wakeboarding in mind, and it really shows. For riders who want everything the XLV Gravity can give, we recommend the three-bag upgrade and hydraulic wake plate.
