Built a Makai for fun. Nice boat!!!!
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I built one for s--ts and giggles and it was $113,000...I'll stick with my 2018 SL550 for that sort of money.
Build out a 2019 SL550 and tell us the price you get. $155+?
Also, if you put a 575 in it, it’s a waste, unless you’re in the mountains. The 460 is incredible.

One I built was only 97000, and clicked a lot of options. But I only need a 400

I would say you are both motor upgrades away from his price, basically. Sounds about right...Quote:

From what I’ve seen. Msrp anyway. The 400 will be plenty for where I’m located with the right prop. I believe one can be bought under 90k real money

Sorry msrp is a hair over 101k. Still think around 90k would buy oneQuote:

The 460 is amazing. I would not discount how good it is. Unreal. The combo of reduction and the power is far beyond how good I thought it would be.
And this hog craves WEIGHT.

Stock full plus 4 guys and 2100# lead—surfed at 3400 rpm [emoji33][emoji33][emoji33].
Yes 2100# lead 🤣

I can probably find more later I know that’s not a good one. But I’m a big dude: 6-4.
The wave is sick, and it’s not even close to done yet.

How is the 575 ever a waste? Waste maybe a little harsh...drive a boat with the 575 in it and tell me its a waste.Quote:

You need to run a 460 with the reduction transmission. It’s a mind blow.
I regularly run an SL550 as well.
So I am not unfamiliar at all.

On this boat, UNLESS you’re a mountain man, it’s very unnecessary in order to max this boat. My opinion. I own one.Quote:

i dig that!
This years colorizer gets more details than last.
Also, I built my exact 2018 build (Craz) and there is about a $6k MSRP increase.
Which prop?Quote:

Did they change prop shaft angles, prop shaft size to fit a larger prop?Quote:

Very nice I'm looking to increase prop size on my SE to be a bit more efficient, I think the 15x14.25 is a little over kill for the 550Quote:

Yours still may have a little bit of thickness on mine. But my boat throws down for sure. Just takes a lot longer to setup haha. But I’m getting a new boat in the springQuote:

Got my order in for an October build of a Max... Time to start planning ballast upgrades.

Not sure what thickness means. It’s impossible to compare waves based on pictures. All I know is I had my SE 450 set up to be a little bit heavier than Robert Garcia had his set up. It was insane. And this boat is very nearly the same as that, with a way better motor, more room, nicer shape, and a lot more storage.Quote:

Just meaning your wave has a more meatier look to it. Maybe just the difference in shape compared to a malibu. I know what you mean about being able to tell. If it doesn’t cramp your calves up, it doesn’t have enough push! HahahaQuote:

For all of you building Makai boats and have interest, here are some wave pics. Also, basically an entire family in the bow. HUGE.

2019 Moomba Makai
Looks great! Did they change the gel lines on the bow? Looks like it from picture but wasn’t sure if that was real life. If so that’s great!Quote:

You ordering this one, if so I cannot wait to see real live pictures of it.
As an owner of a half black Craz, I would SERIOUSLY reconsider that color if you are in hard water. Black is a BITCH for water spots, and yes I have used Boat Bling and now Chemical Guys water spot remover and sure it looks good after you wipe it down...but 5 minutes after going back on the water it looks like crap again. In theory black gel coat looks awesome, but unless you wanna detail your boat after every session I say skip it.....

Metallic black is much friendlier at hiding spots if that is an option.
But agree black is a bitch but looks the best when clean
