"MOOMBA"





Mick stumbled upon this darling needing a small amount of love whilst up to his ears in the rebuilding of the beautiful "NIFTY II".
"MOOMBA" sports a very cool Y block V8 ford (as fitted to Cusso's etc. ;-)  and is believed to have once been the official tow boat for the Sea World ski shows and also possibly  involved with the Moomba Masters way back in the day. If this interesting history is correct, we are hoping that someone out there must surely have some memories of this lovely lady they could share, or possibly a confirmation on her origins... is she a Lewis ???
Mick is absolutely smitten with "NIFTY II" so sadly "MOOMBA" is on the block. Anyone interested can contact Frosty on our members tiles or I can point you in the right direction myself.
Be sure to click on the 'marvels' tag to see the many other stunning ski boats that have been a part of this impressive fleet .
