For the Supra side, a redesigned/step swim platform would be cool feature. That was a nice feature on the new Malibu I was just riding on.

Agree. I see changes, but it might be with vendors or design, like (over the years):
Screens
Interior materials for seats
Audio companies
Exterior (side) redesign
Tower redesign
Bimini redesign
Windshield
The one thing I would like to see, the ballast/power/wave ratio to be able to run something like 75% ballast to get a really great wave. But not looking for the offset to be more dry weight that hinders other items like fuel burn or towing.

Better engine panel system to stop the pop outs would be #1 on my list. I can think of a couple of fixes that would be easy.

I'm tossing the idea around of a new boat but I think I am priced out too. Since 2017 when we bought our Mojo the base price was around 75k if I recall. No it is 108,500 which is almost a 45% increase. I know my income has not gone up 45%, maybe 10%! Not sure what we want to do now but we have about 50k in equity in our current boat which seems to mean if we were to sell it and put that 50k down on a new one then our financed amount would still be more than the total price of our current moomba when it was new based off what our dealer told us (New Mojos going for 130). Just seems unbelievable.
We are in the same boat (pun intended). I had dreams of making the jump to a new Supra but don't think that will happen with what prices have done. Maybe the market will change in the coming years but if not I might look at the used market but will hold on to what we have for a while. Looking at the prices of new boats I feel like people would choke knowing that my fully loaded 2019 Makai's MSRP was less than the base MSRP is now. Not to mention that we didn't pay MSRP in 2019 either.......2019 wasn't that long ago but now it seems like the good ole days!! LOL
Txsurf4 - I can’t believe how fast the prices are jumping year after year. I wanted to get a used boat and was tracking 2016-2019 model years, but when new prices jumped in 2020 and demand went up, used prices skyrocketed as well. The used prices seem to be starting to come back down. I feel bad for anyone that thought of these boats as appreciating assets because I think that is not going to be the case going forward. I guess a good dealer relationship and discount may help with trade ins, but upgrades might be hard for many to afford.
On a side note, to the original post feel bad for those master craft employees. It’s good to hear that SC is still in a good spot at this point as mentioned earlier in the thread.
Better fuel efficiency would be greatly appreciated, but I think that is a fruitless battle. Now you will start seeing all the e-boats.
