Moomba Outback 2011 vs Moomba Outback V 2011: A Close Look at Two Modified-V Boats

Both the Moomba Outback 2011 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 Outback 2011 at 20,5 ft versus Moomba Outback V 2011 at 20,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Moomba Outback V 2011 tips the scales at 3 200 lbs - 450 lbs less than the Moomba Outback 2011 at 2 750 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.

Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling - 325 hp for the Moomba Outback 2011 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. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Moomba Outback V 2011 carries 39 gallons versus 28 gallons in the Moomba Outback 2011. 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 V 2011 is rated for 12 passengers, while the Moomba Outback 2011 caps at 10. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Moomba Outback V 2011 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Moomba Outback V 2011 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 12 passengers and at 20,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Moomba Outback 2011 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 10 that costs less to run day-to-day.

Moomba Outback 2011 vs Moomba Outback V 2011 - Common Questions

Which is the larger boat - the Moomba Outback 2011 or the Moomba Outback V 2011?
The Moomba Outback 2011 is the longer of the two at 20,5 feet overall. The Moomba Outback V 2011 comes in at 20,0 feet, making it roughly 0,5 ft shorter - a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer - the Moomba Outback 2011 or the Moomba Outback V 2011?
For trailering, the Moomba Outback 2011 has the edge at 2 750 lbs dry weight versus 3 200 lbs for the Moomba Outback V 2011. Add a motor (typically 300–500 lbs for an outboard in this class), gear, and a partial fuel load and the difference grows. Lighter is friendlier on smaller tow vehicles and on fuel economy while hauling.
How many people can each boat hold?
The Moomba Outback 2011 is Coast Guard rated for 10 passengers, while the Moomba Outback V 2011 is certified for 12. Note that legal capacity and comfortable capacity aren't always the same thing - on a full day out, most experienced boaters aim for about 80% of the rated number to keep things comfortable.
Which boat is wider, and does it affect trailering?
The Moomba Outback V 2011 measures 96" wide, compared to 95" for the Moomba Outback 2011. The US standard-width towing limit is 8’6" (102") in most states - anything over that may need a wide-load permit. Confirm your specific route requirements with each state's DOT.
Which boat has the larger fuel tank - the Moomba Outback 2011 or the Moomba Outback V 2011?
The Moomba Outback V 2011 has the bigger tank at 39 gallons, versus 28 gallons on the Moomba Outback 2011. That 11-gallon difference translates to roughly 33–55 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.
Are the Moomba Outback 2011 and Moomba Outback V 2011 from the same manufacturer?
Yes - both the Moomba Outback 2011 and the Moomba Outback V 2011 are built by Moomba. That means shared dealer networks, common parts availability, and consistent build quality across the line. The choice between them is essentially a question of how much boat you need, not which brand you trust.
