Moomba Max ('18 - '20) or Supra SA450 ('13 - '14)
Hi All,
Looking for some advice. I am stuck between a rock and a hard place. Looking to buy the best wake boat possible this spring. I'm seeing some used SA450s and Moomba Maxs. Do I spring for the older luxury line or the newer Moomba? Things that matter to myself: reliability, wake board wake, features, and surfing (In that order LOL). If anyone who has owned a 2013/2014 Supra SA could enlighten me on the wake boarding/surfing that'd be awesome, and same thing with a moomba max. Wake board performance being the #1 goal!
Thanks

If you were debating between a new max and a 2018ish Supra...totally different conversation. The Max is pretty spartan even compared to the rest of the Moomba lineup, but it is a DEEP boat. One of things a sales guy/gal will tell you when shopping Moomba is how many of the Moomba fit and finish materials and technology trace their origins back to the Supras of just a few years ago...it's just a natural flowback. Moomba with 2-3 plus years of warranty has my vote.
“Spartan next to the rest of the lineup”—it’s more like it’s missing a couple features. Dash, ballast, electronics, upholstery and all are virtually identical.
No walkthrough, no hinges, tower option. Not much else?

max has same everything else as you point out and performs just as well if not better from the hull shape.
we saw this in atx as well. boat was nice but it felt "spartan" due to the upholstery patterns and amount of exposed gel. performance wise it's almost identical to an rzx22.
Different upholstery patterns, yes for sure. More exposed gel...actually no. Same amount of gator step and vinyl coverage.
But I get what you’re saying. The Moombas are pretty consistent across the line with that stuff. Walkthrough is the big noticeable one. 2021 Max really impressed me for being a supposed Tupperware model. Compared to my Makai the interior is damn near the same feel.
After owning both varieties, I actually like the above engine storage access without the walkthrough. That’s where all the wet stuff goes.
Have thought about adding a couple hinges.
Spartan vs a Supra is of course obvious.
