Hi everyone first post. I currently own a 2017 AR195 yamaha that I love but it just can't put out a proper wake. Well I was demoing a few new boards with the doomswell crew on my boat which my mom and dad happened to be with me. Well mom fell in love with wakesurfing and vowed to do it once she recovered from her knee surgery. We had a bday party for her at my house Sunday where she told us how cool it was watching me surf. So I said in jest dad we should split a boat. Well he was having his new Porsche wrapped in clear protectant and needed a ride. I said you know the moomba dealer is in the way we should go peep the new 2019 Max. So we went and looked at 3 boats. First was the Max. Which we liked but he didn't like having to have more ballast than factory and losing storage space. He did however like the size and the styling. So I'm thinking holy shit I'm gonna get a Max. Next was the Axis A22. Honestly neither of us were impressed. Didn't like.that boat at all for $92k other than the wake. Which I know to be really good. We were very lucky with the next boat which was a customers that was coming.to pick it up tomorrow morning. The 2019 makai. That boat is giant gorgeous and did I mention giant. Well after a few hours of deliberating we are going to get the makai. I just don't know what color to get. He likes the yellow for the bow sandwiched in white. We both like the brown interior. I like the all light blue with the light sparkly blue. But I love the all white with the brown interior. Has anyone seen the yellow. If so can you please post a picture so I can see the actual color. My dealer didn't have one with that colourway. I was so impressed with the interior of the Makai. It felt like a bug step up from the Max and a giant leap from the A22. And it has 4000 lb of factory ballast. Plus at 24 ft going in the puget sound will be a breeze.

Probably plenty. Stock waves are for sure surfable and wake is great
I’ve found the need for more is a bit overblown. Sure more is better, but stock our Craz surfed great and wave was huge

The 440 was a remapped 400, identical engine internals. In 2018, the 440 was a $7000+ option and was only 23 ft lbs of torque difference. Not worth the money.
The 450/460 may also be identical internals with a 91octane tune, but does come with a lower geared trans.
You cannot remap the Indmar ECM’s and cannot buy them either.

Ya the 450 is a 460 just with a smaller diameter exhaust. They are all obviously the same block but the 450 & 460 have different heads, different tune ect..... from those on the 400 & 440. The 1.76 trans in the 450 is a big difference as well and also allows a larger prop.
