Moomba Kamberra Boats for Sale

The Moomba Kamberra was introduced in the early 2000s as one of the first V-drive models in Moomba’s lineup, marking a key step in the brand’s evolution from value ski boats to full-featured wake and surf machines. Built by Skier’s Choice in Maryville, Tennessee, the Kamberra was designed to deliver multi-sport capability and comfort while maintaining Moomba’s commitment to affordability and simple ownership.

Measuring about 23 feet in length, the Kamberra offered generous space for families and riders. Its V-drive configuration provided a roomy open interior with wraparound lounge seating and a walk-through transom design, giving passengers more comfort and storage compared to traditional direct-drive layouts. This design shift also helped reposition the boat’s weight toward the rear, improving wake size and shape for wakeboarding — a growing trend in the early 2000s.

The hull of the Kamberra was designed with versatility in mind. At slalom speeds, it produced small, manageable wakes suitable for recreational skiing, while at wakeboarding speeds it generated larger, ramp-style wakes with a clean lip. Though built before factory surf systems were common, many owners found the Kamberra could be easily weighted for surfing, giving it a reputation as an adaptable crossover boat.

Power for the Moomba Kamberra came from Indmar inboard engines, typically 5.7 liter V8s rated between 310 and 325 horsepower depending on model year. These engines were known for strong low-end torque, smooth acceleration, and long-term reliability. Combined with the Kamberra’s moderate hull weight and efficient design, the powertrain offered solid performance for towing and cruising alike.

Inside, the Kamberra reflected Moomba’s early move toward family-oriented design. The deep interior, high freeboard, and thoughtful seating arrangement provided comfort for larger groups, while durable marine vinyl and simple instrumentation made upkeep easy. Storage compartments were abundant for gear and ballast, and the open bow expanded usable space compared to smaller Moomba models from the same period.

The Kamberra was eventually succeeded by newer V-drive models such as the Moomba Mobius LSV, which carried forward its layout and performance principles with more advanced surf and ballast systems. However, the Kamberra remains a respected model among Moomba enthusiasts for its balance of space, comfort, and reliability. It represents an important milestone in the brand’s history and continues to offer excellent value for buyers seeking an entry-level V-drive with proven performance.
