Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Moomba Outback LS 2007 vs Moomba Outback V 2008 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Moomba Outback LS 2007 vs Moomba Outback V 2008 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Moomba Outback LS 2007 measures 21,0 feet overall (2007), giving it roughly 19,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Moomba Outback V 2008 at 2,0 feet (2008). At 31 lbs and 3 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 Outback LS 2007 and 325 hp for the Moomba Outback V 2008. 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. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Moomba Outback LS 2007 carries 34 gallons versus 4 gallons in the Moomba Outback V 2008. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Moomba Outback LS 2007 is rated for 13 passengers, while the Moomba Outback V 2008 caps at 1. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Moomba Outback LS 2007 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Moomba Outback LS 2007 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 13 passengers and at 21,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Moomba Outback V 2008 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 1 that costs less to run day-to-day.
