Newbie ordering a boat do's and don't

New to the wake surfing sport and I'm order a boat for next season I'm just looking for a little input on what's a necessity and what can wait or be done aftermarket. So far I'm going with the mojo surf 2 max auto wake non skid front and rear carpet* all the light options sub and bow speaker transom remote no tower speakers or wiring Tower bimini depth finder swivel racks full cover dual battery.water strained flush kit? Not sure what it is but it sound nesseray bow filler cushion couldn't stomach the 1k for the moving rear seat should I ? Let me know what you guys would do if you were to do it again any input will be greatly appreciated thank you.

I think I read a thread similar to this already ....we really like our rear facing seat. Make sure you get the transom steps on the trailer and the steps up front are very helpful

2016 Supra SG 450

I would go with the rear facing seats and remove the non skid package. Gator step offers the non skid pieces made from a material that is softer and doesnt get as hot. Also I would opt out of the dual battery with a charger and do that myself afterwards, that was you can get a true deep cycle battery for the house bank.

Windscreen. And the sun deck wall over piece.

I agree with David in regards to the non-skid floor..... I got my 2017 Mondo this past weekend and the non-skid floor gets very hot, to the point I had to sit down and lift my feet for them to cool off. The floor also seems to show water stains. I am able to wipe them away, but it doesn't take long for new ones to appear. Don't get me wrong.... the non-skid floor looks amazing, but I would have ordered it without a floor or at a minimum just have got the snap in carpet if I would have know about the 2 issues ahead of time and then looked into Gator Step or Seadeck.

For GatorStep or Seadeck, especially in Texas, the only way to survive is to have a cup or bowl to reach over and pour water on the floor. It gets screaming hot, but 2 cups of water cools it down for a while.

Thanks for all the input I'm finalizing my order this weekend switching to carpet for sure

If you go with carpet you will have all the snaps on the floor. If you think you will go gator step then order with delete flooring.

My two cents on carpet is negative. A lot of times I am putting cover on right after trip. So carpet has to be removed or you will have a stinky boat for good!! So then carpet needs to be removed after each trip to dry. I will burn my feet over that.

One last comment. If the gator step burns my feet then I need to get in the water and ride something. That's what boats are for anyway!!

Agree with Russell, my gator gets hot as can be and I wouldn't trade it for carpet at all, no way.

A quick splash and it is cool again.

Dont think you can do a floor delete. Since the carpet is standard they have to ship it with the boat if you do not do non skid, this is the same thing we ran into. We just told them to make sure they do not install the snaps. Speaking of which, if anyone is in the market for brand new carpet with snaps still in the box let me know lol.

Non skid package, swivel racks, A3 tower with surf pockets, OJ945 prop, cockpit and toneau cover if you tow a lot, sundeck walk across, bow filler, walk through screen, depth finder, duel batteries, tandem trailer, 18" wheels, runway lighting, 7 way plug, fulton F2 jack, swing tongue, transom steps, transom straps, docking lights, GPS cruise, water strainer, pop up cleats.

So I through down my deposit today and added the swing away tounge and a few other things. The sales man told me I could add the moving rear seat and non skid floor later. I went with the wake surf 2 max package and he said that it'll have 1200lbs in the rear and 650lbs in the front. My question is did he mean 1200 lbs each side in the rear (2400) or total and does the boat come stock with a hard tank in th center? I should have clearified these thing with him at the time but every thing happened so fast

650's on each side on back. See if you can delete them. Just buy the fly high 1100's, you'll be happy you did. I still have my rear 650# bags sitting in muy garage. I keep telling myself ill eBay them tomorrow. Could off saved myself dome money. Buy them from wake makers. They'll be half the price your dealer asks.

I didn't know this when I ordered my boat/trailer but Boatmate offers an underside spare tire mount that your dealer could probably order for you at a reasonable cost. The problem with doing it afterwards is that it's a weld-on option and I really don't want to grind/weld/repaint on my brand new trailer. My dealer wasn't even aware of this option (they only offered the clamp-on option near the tongue) but I spoke with Boatmate and found this out myself.

good luck!

I ordered my 2016 World's Edition SA with that option & the trailer showed up with the side mount spare. When I said, "looks great, but that isn't what I ordered" I was told that Boatmate didn't make that trailer with the underbelly spare . . . .

Boatmate does offer a side mount, weld on. It is a pretty nice mount. I had ordered a trailer with it and it didn't get installed. Boatmate shipped it to my dealer raw and covered to have it welded on and I think they sent paint or paint code with. Whatever ship did the install on it did a great job, couldn't even tell it was added. I would not even consider having something bolted on.

The max surf package should be 900's in the rear.

we use the rear facing seat way more than I ever thought we would

The Mojo standard ballast is two 650s in the rear plus the 650 hard tank in the center. The Surf Max package swaps the rear 650s for 900s and adds a 500 lb bow sack under the seats in the front.

Get the carpet and order gator step through your dealer, you'll be glad you did.

We opted for the single battery set up because we didnt want two starting batteries. We added our own dual battery set up after delivery, battery bank 1 has the stock starting battery, bank two has two 6V golf cart batteries wired in series for extended stereo play time.

Bow filler cushion goes in the walk way of the bow seating area, it fills it in so its all one big padded lounge.

The rear bench seat slides forward without any upgrades. The upgrade gets you a backrest for when you have it slid forward and want to face backwards. It also puts a rear facing back rest behind the drivers seat so that person can also face backwards comfortable. With this option you can easier have 4 people all facing backwards comfortably without having to twist your body around. Its great if you are out with 6 people. One behind the boat riding, one driving, and the other 4 enjoying the show in comfort.

The optional side spare tire mount came welded on our 17 Mojo.

The tower comes wired for lights and speakers

Rear transom remote is a great option, as well as the bow speakers. We opted not to get the sub because we swapped out all the speakers and amps and put in a complete wetsounds system.

We also ordered without a cover because we wanted an Evolution towable cover.

Swivel board racks are a must

Depth finder is a must

The bimini top with the surf pockets is a life saver.

The non skid on the gunnels is hard and gets super hot, we opted out of this option and did Gator Step everywhere

I have the undermount spare on my 08 lsv. this is an option that i really like. i need to have the spare off the trailer side to get the full swing of the tongue to fit in the garage. when i ordered the trailer with this option, i was later told that they would not do it again because it affected the boat stacking on the truck for shipping. but that seems kind of like BS to me.

new order is so exciting. hoping for new in the coming year.

Undercount is an option on the boatmate you can also do a no valance on the fenders looks really good with the 18's not so much with the standard wheels. Last years Roush edition had those fenders.

A friend has the under mount on his trailer and you never know it's there until the boat is off. The milfoil police may make it more work though.
