PIMP YOUR RIDE WITH MOOMBA’S ALL NEW WAKE WRAPS


Today Moomba formally revealed their all new 2009 Wake Wrap Collection for Moomba boats. Moomba’s exclusive new collection of Wake Wrap designs offer customer’s the ability to customize the colors and wrap size of their choice with the option to add custom boat numbers to match their wrap. In addition, Moomba buyers also have the opportunity to design their own custom wake wrap. The possibilities are endless thanks to Moomba’s new partnership with ZDecals.

The best part about Moomba’s Wake Wraps, other than the look, is Moomba’s partner ZDecals uses only the best materials from 3M coupled with 3M protective UV laminations and 3M approved inks. So you can expect the wrap to last at least 8+ years outdoors.

Moomba’s Collection of Wake Wraps are, well, see the designs for yourself at https://download.yousendit.com/TTZsR0lWSWhRR2

c9PQ. Tell us what you think. A Moomba Owner who recently wrapped his new 2009 LSV explained, “Each time I pull up to put gas in my boat, it ends up being a 45 minute deal answering questions about the boat, it’s design, where to get it and so on.” Nice!

Sample From Moomba Collection
To get the latest and greatest in wake wraps and customization opportunities, contact your local Moomba dealer. You can find your local dealer with our dealer locator at http://moomba.com/dealer.php.

ABOUT ZDECALS
Hmm... A little about who we are? Well, one thing is for sure, we love what we do. We don’t aim for perfection, we aim a little higher. Not sure what that would be called, but hopefully you get it. We only expect perfection from each other day in and day out. From the fresh designs from our designers, the vibrant colors that roll off our printers, to the over the top graphic installations, our customers should have no doubt that they’re dealing with the best. Now we have to be honest, the reason we go nuts on quality is we really don’t want to see your wrap back in our shop and we like it when you spread the good word. We’d rather see you catching some big air on the weekends and doing a little bragging here and there. We’re here to do one thing... create cool stuff and hear people say “how did you do that?!?” If you’re looking for something different and a team you can trust, you’ve found us.

2009 Outback and Pro Slalom Skier Terry Winter Featured in Waterski Magazine

The March issue of Waterski magzine features a the 2009 Outback and team Skier Slalom Terry Winter. The Editor ask Winter a series of questions about why he rides for Moomba and why he choose the Outback.
Why Winter rides for Moomba: “You gotta root for the underdog, right? When I first got the boat, I was amazed by how good it was. Plus, I loved the idea of representing a smaller company. I feel I have way more impact on the product in this setting. Better to be the major player in a small company than one of 30 team members at a huge company.”

Why Winter needs his Moomba Outback: “Consistency is the most important thing about skiing on the Pro Tour. My wife, Kristen, hopped straight into this boat and was able to give me a great pull on the first set. I love skiing with her, so the fact that she prefers driving this boat over any of the others makes my skiing and my life way easier.”

Why You need a Moomba Outback: “You get so much boat for such a great price. Our prices aren’t inflated, so we aren’t a part of this great price tag war going on with the other companies. The boat is sick, the price is right and with the economy in the shape it’s currently in, how can you go wrong with that logic?”

Winter’s memorable Moomba moment: “Man, too many to pinpoint just one, really. Just skiing every day with my wife and my friends. Skiing is my life, so every day that I’m out with my Outback is memorable. Just running 39s, hanging ouot with the coolers full and the music playing, life is always good when I’m in my boat.”

Winter’s top three features1. Moomba’s speed control system. “Moomba rolls with Zero Off, so it’s the same pull as on Tour.”2. Size. “The Outback is the perfect size. It feels and handles like a slalom boat, not an undersize wake boat.?3. Driveability. “It drives perfect, ask Kristen.”

Why Moomba? Why Now?

When you are making a decision to buy a boat, you ask yourself, “Am I making the right choice?” Well, if that choice is a Moomba, we emphatically respond, “Yes you are!” But joking aside, this can be a big decision for you and your family. You are not only buying a boat, but you are also buying a partnership with a company and its dealer. And although we are biased, we hope after reading this that you will understand our philosophy of value and our passion for delivering lasting satisfaction to our customers. Hopefully, you will understand why Moomba is a great choice and why now is a great time to buy.

Moomba has always had the philosophy of value built into its DNA. We define value in terms of great “bang for the buck” but we derive value from what the consumer considers important. We know that ultimately it is the buyer of the boat that pays our wages. It is the customer’s satisfaction and judgment of value that determines our success. Therefore, our core principle is to understand the customer and all elements that add value to their experience. We have spent considerable time and effort instilling and nurturing this principle within our company, because it is one thing to say it, but it is another thing to have people, processes and a system that deliver it. We never, ever take for granted our customers and their position in our value stream.
Another important principle of Moomba is our constant striving for improvement of products and services. We are never satisfied with what we do. We know that we can always do better. We constantly reinforce, throughout our company, that change is good. We invest heavily in developing our people. We take advantage of every opportunity to learn, and we know those opportunities are endless. The people at Moomba have a depth of talent, skills and experience; but beyond that we have people who care about what they do, who share ideas, listen to one another and work as teams to make improvements. We have standards and are disciplined in following them, yet to us, a standard does not represent a ceiling to maintain, but a floor from which to constantly launch new improvements.
So what does this mean to you, the person looking at buying one of our boats?

It means quality, reliability and performance far beyond what you might think. Many potential buyers underestimate Moomba and miss a wonderful experience. Current Moomba owners realize these benefits and turn them into season after season of ownership satisfaction and peace of mind. We often get asked how we can offer such an incredible boat at $10,000 to $20,000 less than the competition. Well, it goes back to our core principle and philosophy of value. Moomba maintains a no-frills approach and avoids pointless markups. We build into our products only what we know people really want, nothing more, nothing less. And we keep our costs down, but still our boats are built with the highest quality, market proven components which, by the way, are usually found in other brands throughout our segment. The result is that a Moomba owner experiences true tournament watersports performance, with reliable operation, at a category leading price. Simply stated, if you want to be on the water, enjoying time with family and friends and feel good knowing you didn’t overspend, then Moomba makes great sense.

So, “Why Now” you may ask? After all, the headlines say the housing market, car manufacturing and the economy as a whole is down and out. The sentiment dampeners are there, but the truth is, this is the best time to buy a Moomba.

Despite the mortgage turmoil, if you have good credit, a job and steady income, you will find there is still plenty of credit to be had at good rates. For well-qualified buyers, rates are running at near historical lows. In addition to saving on interest rates, dealers are eager to sell and are throwing in sweeteners to close the deal, and as the manufacturer, we are too. We know you are looking for deals and we are trying to deliver.

So what do Moomba owners who have recently purchased in this crazy economy have to say about Why Moomba? Why Now?

Ed G, who just recently purchased his second Moomba two months ago explained, “I bought my first Moomba because Moomba had a reputation for getting the best bang for your buck and I bought my second Moomba because my first Moomba was a jewel. I also had fallen in love with the new design and the fact that my first Moomba had still retained its resale value.”

Moomba owner, Patrick Biggins, also responded to Why Moomba? Why Now?

“There are things like the right pair of jeans, a good pair of boots, the little black dress, or a bottle of Bordeaux that have a value intrinsic to themselves. Classics don't go out of style and they always maintain the value that made you acquire them in the first place. An inboard ski boat has always had the same kind of value but they have been priced more like a luxury item for many of us. That's what's so amazing about a Moomba. It's all the benefit of one of those classic items but with the affordable price tag. It's so much better than a classic motorcycle or even a car because it can be shared with family and friends, even at the same time. It's not just for looking at. It's ready to go and everybody can go. And, a Moomba boat is the ultimate toy because it can be enjoyed over and over again. Your Moomba takes you places you've never been; it's a state of mind. Last thing-- if not now, when? When you're old; when you're sick; when you're past the time you can enjoy it? No; now is the time of your life.”

We invite you to see for yourself what Moomba owners have to say about their boats. Go to our Forums under the Community tab to interact with Moomba owners or click on this link http://moomba.com/msgboard/index.php. Ask questions and read past threads from existing owners. Nobody can explain the real value better than a current owner.

We hope this helps you understand why Moomba is a great choice and why now is a great time to buy. Most importantly, we hope you realize if you make the decision to buy a Moomba not only will you be buying a boat, you’re also buying a partnership with the manufacturer and its dealer. Take comfort in knowing you get the full package and the support network you expect. Now you may think this is all just marketing fluff and in a way it is; but, also it isn’t. For all our team members, this is what we believe, this is who we are and this is what we do.

DID YOU KNOW...

that several key materials used to build a Moomba are the exact same products that come from the exact same manufacturers that our competitors use? Really, our direct competitors use the same gel coat, resins, fiberglass, engines, dash, carpet, vinyl and towers. Doesn’t it make you wonder why their boats cost so much more?

Something else to think about is that not only does Moomba and its competitors use similar components from the same manufacturers, they also use a similar process to build their boats, yet Moomba stands behind their product for a longer period of time while offering consumers a better value. And Moomba’s retain their value. Check out our construction process at http://moomba.com/construction/ and our leading L4 warranty at http://moomba.com/warranty/.

So exactly what is it that allows Moomba to offer its customers uncompromised quality, reliability and performance at such a remarkable value? Moomba’s philosophy, keep it simple. Moomba maintains a no frills approach and avoids pointless markups. Moomba’s are built with highest quality, time proven components to offer the best value, but most importantly flawless, reliable performance season after season.

And why is it that Moomba’s retain their value so well? It all goes back to that no frills approach and no pointless markups. Which means you will never see Moomba offer $20,000 off the retail price as some of our competitors have done causing their current owners boats’ to depreciate $20,000…ouch. Can you imagine if you where the customer who paid the $20,000 before the big sale? At Moomba we also keep it simple by not playing games with our pricing. Moomba was affordable, before affordable was the trend.

Interesting...huh?
