[snowking]

New to the wake surfing sport and I'm order a boat for next season I'm just looking for a little input on what's a necessity and what can wait or be done aftermarket. So far I'm going with the mojo surf 2 max auto wake non skid front and rear carpet* all the light options sub and bow speaker transom remote no tower speakers or wiring Tower bimini depth finder swivel racks full cover dual battery.water strained flush kit? Not sure what it is but it sound nesseray bow filler cushion couldn't stomach the 1k for the moving rear seat should I ? Let me know what you guys would do if you were to do it again any input will be greatly appreciated thank you.

I think I read a thread similar to this already ....we really like our rear facing seat. Make sure you get the transom steps on the trailer and the steps up front are very helpful

I would go with the rear facing seats and remove the non skid package. Gator step offers the non skid pieces made from a material that is softer and doesnt get as hot. Also I would opt out of the dual battery with a charger and do that myself afterwards, that was you can get a true deep cycle battery for the house bank.

I agree with David in regards to the non-skid floor..... I got my 2017 Mondo this past weekend and the non-skid floor gets very hot, to the point I had to sit down and lift my feet for them to cool off. The floor also seems to show water stains. I am able to wipe them away, but it doesn't take long for new ones to appear. Don't get me wrong.... the non-skid floor looks amazing, but I would have ordered it without a floor or at a minimum just have got the snap in carpet if I would have know about the 2 issues ahead of time and then looked into Gator Step or Seadeck.

For GatorStep or Seadeck, especially in Texas, the only way to survive is to have a cup or bowl to reach over and pour water on the floor. It gets screaming hot, but 2 cups of water cools it down for a while.

Thanks for all the input I'm finalizing my order this weekend switching to carpet for sure

Windscreen. And the sun deck wall over piece.

Agree with Russell, my gator gets hot as can be and I wouldn't trade it for carpet at all, no way.

A quick splash and it is cool again.

we use the rear facing seat way more than I ever thought we would

The Mojo standard ballast is two 650s in the rear plus the 650 hard tank in the center. The Surf Max package swaps the rear 650s for 900s and adds a 500 lb bow sack under the seats in the front.

Get the carpet and order gator step through your dealer, you'll be glad you did.

We opted for the single battery set up because we didnt want two starting batteries. We added our own dual battery set up after delivery, battery bank 1 has the stock starting battery, bank two has two 6V golf cart batteries wired in series for extended stereo play time.

Bow filler cushion goes in the walk way of the bow seating area, it fills it in so its all one big padded lounge.

The rear bench seat slides forward without any upgrades. The upgrade gets you a backrest for when you have it slid forward and want to face backwards. It also puts a rear facing back rest behind the drivers seat so that person can also face backwards comfortable. With this option you can easier have 4 people all facing backwards comfortably without having to twist your body around. Its great if you are out with 6 people. One behind the boat riding, one driving, and the other 4 enjoying the show in comfort.

The optional side spare tire mount came welded on our 17 Mojo.

The tower comes wired for lights and speakers

Rear transom remote is a great option, as well as the bow speakers. We opted not to get the sub because we swapped out all the speakers and amps and put in a complete wetsounds system.

We also ordered without a cover because we wanted an Evolution towable cover.

Swivel board racks are a must

Depth finder is a must

The bimini top with the surf pockets is a life saver.

The non skid on the gunnels is hard and gets super hot, we opted out of this option and did Gator Step everywhere
