Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Moomba Mobius LSV 2012 vs Moomba Outback V 2011: A Close Look at Two Modified-V Boats
Both the Moomba Mobius LSV 2012 and the Moomba Outback V 2011 are modified-V designs, both built in fibreglass, so the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department - Moomba Mobius LSV 2012 at 21,5 ft versus Moomba Outback V 2011 at 20,0 ft. At 3 300 lbs and 3 200 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class - either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.
Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling - 325 hp for the Moomba Mobius LSV 2012 and 325 hp for the Moomba Outback V 2011. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads - 39 gal and 39 gal - so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Moomba Mobius LSV 2012 is rated for 13 passengers, while the Moomba Outback V 2011 caps at 12. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Moomba Mobius LSV 2012 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Moomba Mobius LSV 2012 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 13 passengers and at 21,5 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Moomba Outback V 2011 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 12 that costs less to run day-to-day.
