My family bought a Brand new moomba outback in 2003 and other than a issue with the depth finer and speedo in the early days it has been dead reliable. winterize it and do an oil change every September and replace the impeller every other year and its good to go.
A lot of people say boats are money pits but there are very few toys that still retain 40-50% of their value 20 years later. We are at the stage where our next boat will probably be a pontoon since we no longer need a tournament ski boat but regardless there is nothing better than being on the water on a nice summer day.
