Auger,
Living and boating in the same area as you for 33 years, I would highly recommend a depth gauge as it is worth the weight in props. The best boarding water in some areas is no deeper than 10 feet. The islands all have long underwater rock projections on both ends with some hooking. Half of Potholes Reservoir is six feet or less and the best skiing water around. Use the depth finder to learn the depth and then register the topo in your head so the depth finder is only used to verify depth. People that don't have depth finders never venture to the good water spots as that is why we go there to get away from others and never feel comfortable exploring areas. The heater is used on occasion especially in the early and late season and after dark. On the other extreme, it is nice to have a bimini to get out of the sun. Enjoy the boat as this is a great place for water activities.1998 Mobius

Thanks for the insight Moombadaze. I am leaning toward a white hull as well. I would like a little more insight from you guys on swivel racks vs. fixed. What is the main rationale for swivel? Is is more about being able to swivel them in to get them out of the way when mooring or storing? Or is the point to simplify the loading process when out on the water? I don't think I am going to need the swivel for storage, but if you guys tell me that it's worth the upgrade for loading, then I will certainly have to consider spending the money. Sorry for what probably sound like some stupid questions, but I have never owned a wake boat before, and new to wake surfing. I appreciate all the insight.

I love the swivel for just the ease of use -- both the wake and surf boards can be a bit cumbersome (especially for kids) and trying to put those in the rack when basically danging over the water can be difficult and lead to dings and scratches on the boards. With the swivel you can comfortably and fully stand in the boat and put the boards in the rack.
For me and my family it was definitely worth the extra expense.Mike

I'm with Mike. We love our swivels. Makes loading so much more easier as well as being out of the way when mooring. They're worth the cost for sure.

Good to see another from the Eastside of the state. I live in Spokane and make a few treks yearly down to Lake Roosevelt (Columbia).
As far as your options I would say also ditch stereo and do yourself, shit if you live in Spokane I could hook you up and install it for you. Heater system is cool, but I find mind doesn't get used much, because around here we don't do much spring or fall boating because low humidity and temps drop so fast. Mine came factory with one, but I installed a shower among a zillion other things and the shower is one of my favorite upgrades and can be had for a few hundred if done yourself.
Don't spend the money on bags, stereo, or bolt on items. Swivel racks would be a great idea from factory, but other than that try and go bare bones and spend half or less doing the same upgrades on your own. I'm sure you have some handy friends who would love to help if they wanna ride with ya.
Best of luck man and maybe will run into one another if we boat at the same spots.

Personnaly I could not live without the sun deck walk through, We ride alot 3-4 times a week and that is a ton of traffic across vinyl. Not to mention when we are at the sandbar it is much nicer. The heater has easily extended our season by months. In Wisconsin we rode from April to November. Not to mention the late night cruises with the wife that can be cooler. Throw the bow cover on and the front of the cockpit stays nice and warm. The swivel racks are nice for tie ups etc but if i had to choose between them and a heater it would be the heater all day.
One other thing that you have to special request but are awesome is the transom steps for the trailer. You can get them on the Supra's and you have to ask on the Moomba side. They are incredibly nice for getting in and out when the boat is on the trailer. Well worth the money if you trailer alot. You can see them in this picture-Mark

Finally pulled the trigger on the Mondo at the Seattle boat show this weekend. I appreciate all the help from you guys on choosing my options. I spent about 3K more than I hoped but the advice that I got from the owners here made me realize that it was worth it in the long run. I ended up having the factory put in the stereo. I ended up skipping the heater and the walkthrough, but decided on the swivel racks, depth finder. Again, I appreciate the wisdom of the members here in helping me finalize my decision. If anyone is in the Crescent Bar / Sunland / Vantage area of Eastern Washington this summer, let me know. It would be great to meet some fellow Moomba owners.

I've seen a handful of build pics on here, I think it's a matter of making the right contact. Jon Allen posts on the forum, he could most likely tell you if it is possible. Seems like he is always willing to help and has been a nice addition to the forum.
