Any new info? Or teasers? Is there a new Moomba model coming, or was that just a rumor?
I hope they don’t kill the Mojo. I would be more than disappointed having just spent $90k on a Hummer or Saturn. Upgrade it, completely change it, but don’t kill it. Wakesetter has carried their name value for 20 years. These arent investments, but I would consider my purchase a huge mistake if they kill the Mojo a year after I bought one.
You have a very coveted 18 Mojo Pro, it'll be worth a lot for a long time. And Wakesetter is just a designation, not a model. Malibu has discontinued plenty of models over the years and those boats are still bringing in good money. Nothing to worry about.
Rumors continue to float but I did hear that a new boat model/name is being released. Didn't get many details and don't know if it is replacing a boat but sounds like Moomba wants to continue to separate between an "entry" level and a "mid" level line with Supra being the luxury brand (all based on standard features vs options/upgrades). So Max is entry level, new boat model and Makai being mid-level. The Helix, Craz and the Mojo stay in this as well but I don't know where they fit. Not 100% about any of what I just wrote but it's something.
Mini-Makai??
22 foot Makai makes sense.Quote:

Expecting the new SA to be good.
Hoping Moomba Line gets a swim platform that sits higher at some point. When wakeboarding with ballast the swim platform is underwater, makes getting in with a wakeboard on a pain compared to other brands.

Just received an email from my dealer that an ALL NEW 2020 MOOMBA MODEL will be released on Thursday, July 18th @ 6pm in DFW.
Man that’s exciting! Only about a week awayQuote:

I just called a dealer and he said no new model but they are discontinuing the Mondo

not surprised that skiers is dumping a 20ft. having 2 in the same market is kinda goofy. it's a small market to begin with. keep one and offer lots of options to make it vanilla or pimped out. mondo makes sense to dump as it's a narrower hull. everyone now wants 102". helix fits that bill.
Those boats are so different. If I was on a restricted lake and I skied. I woul go with the mondo over helix. Aesthetically I think I choose mondo over helix as well.Quote:

I think folks will like what they see for 2020.
I do wish there was cup holders added to the Max bow in a way that isn’t blocked if you use the bow fill. Would also love that larger display even if it costed me an additional $500 to the bottom line of the starting price.
Have you seen a sneak peek?Quote:

Understand not being able to talk about it. I’m excited!Quote:

I would doubt theres a real market for a direct drive ski boat anymore. slalom is still pretty big in the midwest but those that relish the sport seemed to have tucked away an older ski hull as the slalom boat and picked up a wake boat for the family.
pick up an old boomerang, santera or ski nautique for 5-8k for a morning set and have a surf boat for the family play time all afternoon.
a good closed bow slalom boat will only hold 2 and a skier. not much of a family boat. my buddies boomerang is tight with 3 and a skier in it to the point we usually dumped others off at the dock and wait their turn.
A 22'-23' Makai might have me risking divorce...
There has to be a market because a new Ski Nautique is $120k+Quote:

There is definitely a new boat the reveal is coming to the DFW Summer Boat Expo on Thursday, July 18th.
So going away from models and talking about features. I wonder when SC will be able to get a fully integrated autowake system that not only controls ballast but also flow and wakeplate. I have to image this is the direction they want to go. I could even see 2020 as being the year.
Correct me if I am wrong......but autowake already does that.Quote:

The surf tabs also adjust the pitch and roll, not just the ballast.

Not sure what you guys are talking about exactly, but the system does not move the tabs.

Swell surf is separated from Autowake?

Yes, I am most certain autowake maintains pitch and roll, not surf plate setting. That is on the driver to set. Some like steep, some like long. Autwaake maintains your settings.Quote:

I use the wakesurf 2 and wakeboard preset religiously and the wave and wake are perfect with autowake on.
Depending on water conditions, in wakeboard mode, I sometimes have to add some wakeplate to clean up goofy side.
