So what is everyone wanting to see on the 2023 Moomba changes?
The power seat from the Supra. Everyone changes the base anyway.
At the new price point of the Moombas they should start getting bigger screens also. 7" is weak. Maybe 10" now.
Fold down tower for trailering standard…
Bags that don't cracks the subfloor on mojos.
Taller pro tower with dual rack option
Bimini that actually hangs over windshield
Transom remote without knob that gets easily broken
Lounge seats on transom deck.
Camera option
I'm sure I'll think of more

Yes!! Especially for those who like to drive up your rear when pulling people.Quote:

Same, my wife was pretty sad about it. Someone on the FB group posted pics of an aftermarket mod for about the same price. I think the shop was in kentuckyQuote:

The most frustrating thing for me on my new 22 max was having to add weight to get the surf wave that I needed. I’m a very averaged sized person. It seems silly to me to sell a surf boat at 100k that just doesn’t have the weight needed to produce a proper surfable wave. The boats should come with big enough bags to produce a wave for a 3 person crew. Period.
I’ve since done the wakemakers upgrade and holy moly is it a world of difference for my wife and I. Anyone on the fence, I’d highly recommend doing it.
This is all legal issues, even if you buy a RI265 for $250-300K you still need to add some weight I believeQuote:

Better audio options, Supreme has something like a warriors audio package with 2 12" subs and 4 tower speakers in dual enclosures
Really another sub and a downward facing tower audio option and it would be perfect.
Maybe a little more bow sound as well..
of course it is. everything is a legal thing nowadaysQuote:

That said, some things i wish my Moomba max had that shouldnt break the bank:
A table option for the seatback area directly behind the drivers seat. it doesnt have to be large but even a small fold out tray would go a long way.
Cupholder cubbies in the speaker area above the seats so that when the center cushion is on, youre not covering youre only cupholder options up there.
the step pads on the rear seat and over engine bay have nice gatorstep on top of a hard plastic. this hard plastic has a very harsh edge on it and ive actually gouged my toe open pretty good and bled all over the boat. i need to figure out how to get in there and soften mine because they are quite sharp. go to a full step through design or soften this edge up rather than leave it a harsh 90*
im all for the upward and onward improvements to the bimini, tower, audio, surf system, etc.
Allow me to engage/disengage zero off when the boat is under way!!
I would really like an indicator for the rudder position. Something as simple as a green light when it’s pointed somewhere near straight.
Taking off with it turned has to be hard on it. It’s certainly hard on the surfer trying to learn to get up.

i totally agree with this !!!!Quote:

But the lack of cupholder with the bow filler in was a pretty big one as we never take the bow filler out. Ended up biting the bullet and spent the extra $ once for the few more features.Quote:

I agree. I use the two rotation rule. If the wheel is turned right or left in the farthest position, two full rotations gets back to center.

i follow this as well and use the Moomba logo on the wheel as reference. two and half rotations will do it.Quote:

And maybe a better wave to fuel usage ratio - this 2022 sucks waaaaay more fuel then my 2013 Mojo did with lots of added ballast and the manual FLOW surf system. I've only got 20 something hours and fuel prices are astronomical so maybe I'm just a little sensitive to this topic right now :P
I recall reading that too. The guy updated his Makai to have the flip up seats. A shop in KY did the work - Auto Kustoms. Bought the hinges from Taco Marine to try to mimic the seats that Centurion offers (they are expensive). Purchased some pecan chilltech material from SC. I recall the whole project costing around $3k.Quote:

Have this on our boat, very simple to install and use. Makes it easy on my wife for driving me while taking off. We also ease into the throttle to help with prop slip, it also uses less gas and gives time to straighten the rudder while not being under full load.
Just ordered one! It's annoying as the driver & rider when you think the wheel is straight and it's not.Quote:

2. Totally agree on the larger ballast mentioned in previous posts
3. A drop down swim step like you see on Malibu and Mastercraft
4. Agree with rudder indicator mentioned in previous posts - seems like that could be easily integrated on the screen
5. A larger display screen
6. Better colors (aka less primary basic colors)
7. Black Gatorstep option
That should do it for now.
I would agree to all of those..well, I do agree to all of those.

Grommets at the tip of the surf pocket to allow water to drain, instead of the damn thing dripping on me all day.
What would be great is a channel that moves it off to the side.Quote:

Otherwise I really don't think this boat is missing much. Maybe arm rests on the captains chair.
Oh... And better engine compartment panels.
I got to see a new 2023 Max. Can’t share the pics until Moomba does their thing but they made some nice changes especially in the interior.
I 100% agree with better engine/surf locker divider panels!

Cool! I think the max needed it. The Makai and Kaiyen are maybe the nicest interiors. If they could replicate that to other models, it'd be sweet.Quote:

I've always thought of it this was as every boat builder can show the same analogy:Quote:

SA/SL=gmc denali. does it all with every bell/whistle that skiers choice makes. some hardware shared with the chevy bros but some unique.
if you add all the gear to the HD truck, you now have a silverado. allows some on a tighter budget to skimp and for some others, they may not want some of the tech/fit-finish stuff.
just my take but I do recall when moomba rolled out the max, it was initially advertised as a surf boat first and foremost without some of the fluff.
Higher pedastel on the captains chair? Do explain! I'd like.mine to be able to go up more rather than using the little fold up booster.Quote:

Got ya. So does the seat still have the hydraulic adjust? This just adds to it?Quote:

The new post gave me up and down adjustment.
If the newer seats have hydraulic adjustments, I'm thinking this WONT work for you.
My boat didnt have hydraulic lift and still doesn't since I went fixed height. But I have had no complaints and if it makes my wife happy enough to confidently pull me than Im happy.
