Does anyone know if the new flip up rear sunpad seat on the Makai will retrofit onto a 2021 Makai? I can't visibly see any changes in the hull or engine cover designs on the two. And any idea what that flip up seat lists for, if it can even be purchased without a boat attached to it.

I can't see any reason why they won't work but believe they interfere with wakemakers bag upgrade. The flip up seats are different 23 to 24. $2100 option in 23 and $1730 option on the 24 Mojo. When shopping our 23 Mojo I really wanted them until I sat in them. I felt like I was just sliding out of the seat. So in 24 they shortened up the seat a bit and put some gator over the vent for your feet. I haven't tried the new setup. I believe they would be more comfortable on a Max or Tykon with the transom step.

Well, I do have the Wakemakers in mine, so that might be a no-go for me then. I couldn't really tell from the online walk-through that I saw if they sat below the fiberglass or not. I assumed they just made them a bit thicker and that they sat on top like the regular pads do.

HFarr...there is a large plastic cover on the underneath side of the cushion to hide the flip up mechanism. It will contact your wakemaker bags when full. You could make it work if you limited the bag fill. Otherwise it will push up on the cushions and possibly damage the bag.
Yeah.....that puts me out of the market for it then. If anything, I generally fill those bags to the limit every time.Quote:

I agree that they will be an easy retrofit, nothing special about the hinges….
For the mechanism itself, as you can see there is not cover for the mechanism on the underside, not a fan of that design, and having the bag upgrade myself I do not think they would impact the ability to max out the capacity of the bags by much if at all, I dont like the fact the bags would/could rub up against them, and to be honest I dont know how they would impact any of the valves on top of the bags as well…
That being said, they are not my favorite of the flip of seats, they just dont seem to be comfortable for me…. Thats a personal preference though….

The Moomba flip seats look nearly identical to the Supra variant.
They are nice to have when hanging out at anchor. But not a luxury lounger style by any means like other brands.
They sit upright and rather vertical without any adjustment options.

Ok. Those pictures show me what I didn't see in the other walkthru videos. Just by looking at the pics, I dont think those hinges would stick down far enough to interfere with the Wakemaker bags or valves, honestly. But, this is the 2nd or third time I have heard comfort not being that great. I would definitely have to sit on one first. On the positive note, it looks like you could access smaller things in your bins by just flipping up the seat if you wanted too!

Yeah, the flip up seats hit the mark for me when it comes to comfort, could be my short stature, and they feel a tad ‘flimsy’ I mean, maybe not to that extent, but they do not feel solid…. I really dont think they would interfere at all with bigger bags
I checked out a new ATX in the showroom (not sure the model but they have a profile now like a nautique paragon) but they have rear flip up seats that flip ‘both’ ways, like front and rear…. I like nothing else about that boat but I love that design of those rear seats….
I have a 2024 Makai with the flip up seats. I’m a little bummed on them because I dont find them comfortable and they don’t lock really well. If you sit back hard enough they give way. Also I’m not sure how the wakemakers bags wouldn’t hit the mechanism because my stock bags come within an inch or two of hitting them right now. Let me know if I can help you guys with measurements or whatever if you are serious about getting them.

Bmac, I will say that surprises me they come that close to the stock bags, as they seemed to ‘barely’ protrude into the spot where the bins are…. All that being said, I know I am not interested in them…..
I just realized that I have 200lbs of lead under each bag in the rear compartments. That is why I don’t have a lot of space from my seat mechanisms to the top of the bags.

Got into a discussion at the boat show with the TWRA (TN water cops) about what is legal when sitting in the rear facing seats. It started when we noticed a pontoon manufacturer that had a model with a 1/2 fiberglass and 1/2 metal railing around the outside of the swim platform.
Utah has made it legal to sit in the rear facing seats when the boat is equipped with a surf pipe and the boat is going no faster than 12 mph.Quote:

They sounded confused at first. Gave me answers in a few directions, so I press them more.Quote:

That is how Heyday is for their rear facing seats on the H series boats. There is a metal rail that is on the transom to make riding in the legal as it is considered being in the boat. If you look at photos of an H22, you will see it.Quote:

Yep, the toon had the outboard in the middle.
Speaking of Heyday, I do not recall them at the boat show. It’s interesting how they up their game little by little each year - H22 looks to be their best setup.

We were walking out of the boat show at closing and saw the Heydays and didn't get to look at them closely. They are definitely improving.

I still do not get the bathtub seats and the cutoff nose in that other model, but who I’m I to say. They sell a few of them.Quote:

H22 fully box checked is $121500
By far Heydays best looking boat.
Agree the swim platform is wonky looking hanging above the water

They don't have a local dealer at the moment.Quote:

The screen is nice in the new ones. Buddy has a couple H22s at the shop brand new left overs that could be had for a great deal.
He offering BOGO? lol.Quote:

The concord ramp was washed out where the concrete ends and the silt starts, thus leaving a big hole if you back in too far on the double-ramp size. Part of that is from everyone power-loading their boats too. The county put some rocks in there to try to help from trucks and trailers getting stuck.
The single ramp is not usable b/c of all the silt and mud washed in.
Since the water is low and all the washed in sediment, it's super shallow once you try to make your way to the main channel.
Remind me, what big wing did you buy last year?Quote:

I got a slingshot Quantum 100 last year. Tried it twice last year. Big high aspect wing. Its slow changing direction but should be able to pump with it. I think I will stick to Tellico until water improves and most of the debris washes ahsore.Quote:
