BOAT REVIEW
Moomba bills the Mobius LS as the crossover specialist in their line. The direct-drive model combines the tracking and handling of a traditional ski boat with the wide, ramp-building hull of a wakeboard boat into one wallet-friendly package. It’s a versatile platform designed to satisfy the family that wants to do it all, from slalom skiing to wakeskating. With a standard 325 hp engine, Rad A Cage tower and trailer with disc brakes, they’ll be happy with the value, too.

INSIDE THE BOAT
The Moomba Mobius LS offers lounge area for 13 — huge for a direct-drive — thanks to a wide 97-inch beam. Drivers will appreciate the redesigned seat and user-friendly instrumentation. While passengers will enjoy dual-density cushioning, LED courtesy lighting and ample sun pad real estate.

BEHIND THE BOAT
This sporty direct-drive churns out wakes that will please weekend warrior enthusiasts who enjoy a plethora of water sports. The Moomba Mobius LS is as slalom course capable as it is wakeboard-friendly. Medium-size swells with gradual transitions will ensure gentle landings for the kids.
