The newest addition to Moomba Boats engine-line up for 2008 is the Assault 6.0L V-8 409HP power plant by Indmar. It is a new high-tech performance inboard engine that delivers enough power to give bulky big blocks a run for their money; all with less weight

and a much smaller footprint. This new 6.0L powerplant is based on GM’s Gen IV Vortec 6000 truck engine which has a strong following in automotive circles.

The "brainpower" behind the new Assault 6.0L comes from Delphi's most advanced ECM (Electronic Control Module) the MEFI-5 hardware/software computer system. The MEFI-5 system is custom calibrated for Skiers Choice boats by Indmar to provide maximum performance and drivability. Custom calibrating the ECM allows Indmar to match hull design requirements and the intended boat application so the boat and motor perform as one seamless unit. This three-dimensional system precisely manages fuel, ignition and air. It is programmed to deliver the power skiers and wake boarders need, plus the classic turnkey starts, unhesitating dependability and fuel efficiency that only Indmar can deliver.

"Customers tell us that they are weighting their boats more heavily," said Matt Brown, Skier’s Choice Product Manager, manufacturer of Moomba boats. “More weight suggests the need for more power. We asked our friends at Indmar to develop an engine that harkens back to the golden age of Detroit muscle-cars. This 409HP small block is the perfect answer to today’s rider demands.”

Assault 6.0L offers even more with Indmar's ETC (Electronic Throttle and Cruise) system as standard equipment. The Indmar developed system allows the helm throttle control to electronically connect to the engine's ECM. Throttle response is quick and smooth. The Indmar ETC’s cruise system is a bonus to recreational water-ski and wakeboard families.

The new 6.0L carries the L4 warranty providing a full four years of engine and drivetrain coverage for both parts and labor. It is certified Three Stars Ultra-Low Emissions by the California Air Resources boards (CARB) for 2008. The engine will be available on Moomba Mobius LSV and XLV models.
