Newbie to board, looking for some guidance
Ok, here is my quick story:
I have been looking for a v-drive inboard for about two months, and was lucky enough to buy a 2007 xlv about 2 weeks ago. I couldn't be happier with my purchase. there weren't a lot of quality choices in this price range. I feel like I did really well on my purchase, and it is honestly one of the prettiest boats on the lake.
I looked at Malibu, Nautiques, Mastercrafts, and almost bought a Centurion. Every person that had a boat for sale that I looked at was going from a 21' to a larger boat. So, I decided that I would only look at the bigger boats also, since I didn't want to be feeling the need to upsize in a few years.
Here is my basic question: I just can't figure out why the other boats (except the Centurion) are so much more expensive. What the hell makes my boat 10K less than the rest?
Here are my specs:
2007 Moomba Mobius XLV
Blue/Black color-- amazing
GIII ballasts
Motor upgrade to 5.7L
Built In Bimini Top
Trailer upgraded with 19" new wheels and tires off of a 2014 Tige' (look awesome)
390 hours
everything that I looked at from 2005-2007 year models, around the rocky mountain area, was at least 3K-10K higher. I just don't get it.
anyone know what or why is driving this market?

Wakemakers upgrade coming also
I forgot to mention that we tried surfing this weekend, and weren't successful without the rope. I talked to Spencer at Wakemakers the minute they opened Monday morning, and I should be getting 1100lb upgrades delivered sometime today or tomorrow. That, along with a spare, will be my only additions this summer, I hope.
My future plans are as follows: Tower Mirror, Soft sided cooler for the space under the bench, swivel on drivers seat, and a full custom cover.
We have been out in it 5 times in the 10 short days I have had it, and I really couldn't be happier.
I will gladly park it by any 125k boat anytime, and it doesn't look, even a tad bit, out of place!!!
