In my experience, I have found the factory covers from many of the boat manufacturers are lacking. We ended up hiring a semi-local guy that kept the boat for a week. Cost about $1600 but the fit...

There is more to it than that—otherwise lots of people would go for it.

38 is fast. I had a boat (I/O) that would do 50 or so--but that wasn't fun for anyone, including me. Mid 30s is my peak these days, with most cruising in the mid 20s. Feels safer for everyone, and...

The wide seat/step is a must for my family, as we spend a bunch of time chilling on the back of the boat. The walk through is ok, but they love the wide-step w/shallow walk-through design that some...

Given the political slants thrown in here, I'm kinda surprised this thread is still open.

My guess is that next summer will be a decent boat-sales season but not like 2020. More boats available...

The Max is a great boat and value. But it’s not as attractive as the upmarket Moombas.
Mojo is +10k over Max. In 5 years I bet the same delta is there. Or it might even be better value retention...

The spare tire is a must. Boat trailers are infamous for getting flats/tires destroyed--especially if you compare them to your auto/truck tires. I also bought a jack that could lift the trailer...

Does SC typically sell out every year? (Not a rhetorical question)

A friend of mine owns a bike shop and his year has been OK--he sold out of his regularly scheduled inventory--and couldn't get...

I was thinking the same thing--that with 3700 lbs ballast it should be ok first day.

The 2019+ NXT have a nice tower. The original was a dog.

If you want a smaller boat the Mondo is tough to...

I think it's listed as 4000 lbs. So imagine with gear and gas and battery its 4600 or so?

Can anyone confirm that Flow 3.0 is not available on the 2021 Mondo?

Yep--with the large amounts of money being spent, I'm not likely to order anything without seeing something.

The larger/wider boats often require a good amount of weight to produce a good wave. And it can be REALLY good. Bigger boats have more potential. More and more modern boats are coming with enough...

Has anyone confirmed if Flow 3.0 is a no-go on the new Mondo? I like the 3000lbs ballast number for sure. It actually looks like they stuck the old Mondo bow on the Helix stern and made a decent...

A great system for boat ramp procedure is to have a backer and a boat driver. We load everyone in the boat and back down—float the boat, driver drives off and waits. The trailer backer/driver parks...

We have one of these inflatable pads. They are awesome. Super durable—not like a tube or air mattress. You need to check them out. Where ever we go...

That is exactly what we are looking for too. We ski in the morning and evening. We’d like to surf after lunch when the chop and wind are up.

Skiing and surfing are on the opposite ends of...

Dealer told me the same thing. It wasn’t a huge seller the last few years. The new Mondo will be 20 feet.

Last winter a dealer told me it was essentially a mini-Kaiyen. So imagine most of the same build details, similar width, just chopped. Pricing it’d imagine the Kaiyen minus 5-7k.

I’d expect Moomba to come out with some sort of Mondo replacement. The Helix and Max as the entry line, they are missing the smaller premium-Moomba boat. Maybe a 20 foot Kaiyen.

We have had covers that had these as part of the design. As in all one piece.

I’ve been frustrated with covers that have a gap around the tower or Bimini—leaves and rain—more than you would...

Maybe you are right--Mojo could be next. My info is from a conversation at a pre-Covid boatshow. (So--anecdote at best. But the Mondo is gone...)

Helix and Max will stay as price-point boats....

The boat will be 20’ and a few inches. Essentially the same design as the Kaiyen. Replacing the Mondo.

Wonder how this will effect new boat introductions. I’m pretty excited for the mini-kaiyen
