My thoughts, if we can't surf great with 4k ballast and a full family there is a problem. Also, the subfloor ballast was interesting, it has like a "soft" cover, so you can remove and inspect which is GREAT and then also, you can actually add plug and play on TOP of the sub floor rear tanks, it was pretty sick. If I bought this boat, I would probably bring a few hundred lbs of lead for those times we only have a couple people, and nothing else.



Absolutely, the video I did was ALL stock, but with a good load of peeps. But why buy a 25' boat and not have the peeps?

Keep in mind, in years past, I have been asked to do things like this. We are brought a boat to review and test, and sometimes the video never shows up. We don't talk about it. I also prepped SC that if we came and it didn't perform, we just wouldn't say a word about that boat. That is kind of our rule. But everything I have seen from SC, has blown me away since the SE.

Nice, did you have the 400 or 575? How does this surf compared to the max? Glad you have the ability to add PnP [emoji1303]

No, and I had a LOT of questions about this, and it kinda bothered me a bit. Cuz this boat with the same surf system on the SL, would compete with the SL, as far as the wave, and I guess that answers the question why, and you know, that makes sense. They spend a lot of time and R&D on engineering and they put it out first on the Supras, and it works its way down. So I would say that this surf system on the makai, was probably more like the same performance as our 2017 SE. It was great, but the SL is perfect.

So the makai required a bit of list to clean up the wave, like our SE did. So I am spoiled with the SL, the SL wave is soooo good. This is not quite as good, but its great. So great, I can honestly say we could spend a season on this boat without issue. We would long for some rides on the SL, but this wave is awesome.

At that time, I'll harass him into letting me steal it for a few hours! He knows that's how I ended up with the Craz in my garage so it shouldn't take too much pushing.

I am going to have to find my notes and get back, I THINK it had the 400. Getting old, memory fades. ;-)

I hear ya, I already forgot I wanted to sell my Mondo haha. I’m really hoping it performs with a 400 so we don’t have to take that 20k hit for the 575. Defeats the purpose of budget boat.

Can’t wait for your full review!

Is that a Center ice chest in the floor? Is there any foot shower [emoji371] anywhere in the boat?

no foot shower, it had a center area you can put a cooler in, and it had a soft AO under the seat, I like the floor, and we do that in our SL.

As far as the 400, just make sure the boat has the autolaunch feature, I can say from experience using several 400 supra boats, if it has autolaunch, you can do the smaller motor.

So that boat was tested with the 400 and 450, and 90% sure it was the 400 that day, but it def was NOT the 575.

I mean.... I need to find a way to get the makai!!! That thing is killer. I live the color scheme. Never thought I would like that interior but man it looks. Sweet.
