Anyone else see. At this point. :)
I have to say I am thoroughly impressed with what I have seen so far. Now, let's see more of that SC Supra! Thinking that may be my new boat for next year! Giddy up!
Nothing is being added to the Moomba line of boats.Quote:

Dang you, Russ! Haven't you ever heard that words are like toothpaste and once squeezed out of your mouth, its impossible to get back in the tube.
Chicot's still holdin' in there. I see you didn't stay up north too long. Being in South LA you should stat to be your own ballast before long with all the good food down there. I won't be to far from you in a couple of weeks. Got to go the in-laws south of Layfayette. You ever make it back this way?Quote:

SC will have to reveal the magic that they come up with.
BTW
When I referenced SC I am referring to Skier's Choice.
I think he's giving you a hard time about going out since you moved away :(Quote:

Russ, Are you being bad again. I hard story's about you and the demo. Also you need to update your cover photo to without a wetsuit on but keep it on the boat to remember us and our warm lake temps.
Surprised we haven't seen a wetsuit or drysuit in the classifieds section yet. LOL
Miss ya already buddy.
Isn't there some kinda law about selling stuff you've peed in?
^^^^ HAHAHAHAHQuote:

Its all good Russ, yea i am razzing him a little.
On a serious note i do have to watch what leaks out on info thats considered privledged, other wise im out of the loop too LOL.
I do miss Russ already, its not often you meet someone as serious about boating and surfing as i am. Russ is one who is always pushing the limits of what it takes to make a great wave.
not sure if you'all noticed the FlickR feed link at bottom of Moomba.com website.. lots of pics. MONDO Looks great!

Is the Mondo front AND rear hard tanks? I read somewhere about a plug n play option for more ballast. Plus the screen shows level indicators. Unable to do that with bags unless they are using timer guesstiments.
Unless this boat is replacing the Outback V or has something to create a surfing wave swichable side to side in seconds i don't see the point of adding another 20 footer to the lineup. Looks good tho
Jstinger, the Plug and play is just the bag system. It comes factory i think with 400s and you can upgrade them.Quote:

papou i see the need for the Mondo in the 20ft boat segment.
Go look at a Mondo and an OBV next to each other and its very apparent why they can survive together.
Mondo has deeper seating, much wider interior. Also it has the wide body nose.
A lot of OBV owners are traditionlists and want that lower profile boat, smaller, and lighter for water skiing. Plus since SC is no longer doing DD boats the OBV is now the only real option water skiing.
Now if the Mondo blows away the OBV in sales then you might see the OBV drop off the list.
Who knows, you still might see it drop off, thats how the Mojo took the XLV spot.
The Mojo is only 3inches shorter on interior space then a XLV, but the compartments are deeper, and the interior is 2 inches wider.
Doesnt sound like a lot but spend a day in the Mojo, then the very next in an XLV and you will feel the difference.
Also want to see how much larger a Mojo is then an LSV sit them right next to each other and the Mojo is a lot bigger, even though its only 1 foot longer.
I suspect you would see all the same comparisons with Mondo and OBV except they really are the same length.
I thought about this too.
I think the look of a boat with a squared off or pickle fork styled bow is what most people want. It is what a wake boat "should" look like in many peoples eyes.
People are buying the AXIS A20 even though it is shaped like a doorstop. I think the OBV will be gone next year like the XLV disappeared a year after the Mojo.
2016 will likely bring a squared bow LSV if the Mondo is as big of a success as the Mojo has been.
Saw this on Moomba's facebook

i cant wait to get my feet into a mondo..they look sharp..one thing i dislike about my OB is how low it sits in the water..when i let my buddys drive and i take a dive in the water and he comes to get me and doesnt see the wave and the thing washes over the bow, it gets everything wet..thats why i only put my anchor and PFD in the bow area and personal stuff under the sun pads.
I think you take just about ANY boat and build it with the Black/Grey/Orange color scheme and it'll look GREAT. Best color scheme on a new release that I've seen in along time!
if i order a mondo im going to do the black/orange/ and...the gunmetal grey flake? with the black moomba letters.Quote:

The blue white and black one it SWEET!!!
What a couple o' dorks! They ruin it for me. Get some girls on there, pronto!Quote:

Metalflake :)
Great new option! Might even win some fisherman over.

IMO this color scheme makes this one of the best looking wake boats from any company.Quote:

Oh well, maybe it will be my next boat.
Nice looking mondo, love to see a 24 ft version.
I am starting to consider upgrading to a V-Drive; the family is expanding and my Outback DD is starting to feel limiting. Plus I would like to get into surfing. Slalom is my main love though, so this is a tough decision for me. I was considering an Outback V, then I saw the Mondo. Nice nice new boat! The press release claims it "can accommodate a slolom set." Wolfeman, did anyone ski behind it during the demo? I'm curious what everyone's thoughts are about the Mondo's performance as a ski boat. Is it really as crossover friendly as the Outback V?
got some numbers on the mondo today. Talked to a dealer a few hours away from my house and he has one on its way to him and with the options it will be 59K ish(pretty much loaded). He said base was 53k the new lsv will base at 55k. My wife wants to punch me right now cause I cant stop talking about the mondo.
base is 53? dang haha i was hoping high 40's. looks like ill have to see how much it will cost with what i want. tobad i cant do it online.
Anyone want to buy my LSV for 50k so I can get a new boat?
