After many years of skiing I am getting close to taking the plunge for a new inboard. I have a few questions that you experts out there may be able to help me out with.
1. After reading some posts it looks like availablity may be a problem for Moomba's. Is it realistic to think I am going to pick one of the showroom floor at the end or begining of the season or is pretty much everyone odering from the factory?
2. I often ski with people that do not need the benefit of pulling from the center ski pylon. Is there a post at the rear of the boat to pull from so that I can conserve some room and leave the center pylon for when we get serious at the end of the day?
3. I have been around some Malibu's that use a wedge for wakeboarding. Skiing is primary and wakeboarding is only for when my arms get to tired so I don't really want to mess around with a balast. I don't see anything on this board that talks about a wedge. Is this something specific to Malibu?
4. I have always had used boats. This break in period doesn't sound like any fun. Minnesota summers are too short to be driving around in circles for 20 hours or whatever the period is supposed to be. Do people really do this and not pull any skiers for a considerable period of time?
Thanks for your help.
