    You guys must not remember the live feed unveilings a few yrs ago when they all crashed. It's a production nightmare that adds a lot of cost and probably little value. My guess is that they want the dealers educated on the boats so they can best serve customers and that come to take a look. There are just a few boneheads that can't follow direction that have created this issue.

    with the thirst for knowlege and all the social media/electronic platforms out there, embrace them.

    Im with aqua that it's a tad silly. anyone shopping for moomba or supra in the last week has now stopped pending a new product. has to be frustrating for dealers telling them I have this great new boat that will fit your needs but come back next week

    The biggest reason they wait to release new boat info is to give the dealers a chance to sell current year stock. You also have to think that what many consider the Big 3, being Skiers Choice, Malibu and Mastercraft are all built right down the street from each other, so secrecy about new models is always at a premium.

    Correct Craft isn't part of the Big 3?

    I'm fairly certain you missed my point....when you have 3 big time boat companies in the same area, business is done a little different....but yes, in and around Knoxville, you'll see 5 of all the other boats to every 1 Nautique, Ski Supreme, Centurion, MB or anything else out there. Not at all saying those aren't good boats or anything...maybe RickT will chime in with a better explanation.

    I've seen many an argument over the "big 3", but that's the first time I've ever seen that combination! But, I think I follow if you are saying the big 3 in the Tennessee area around all of the factories!?

    I'm sure there were teasers dropped last year for Moomba... Maybe it wasn't worth the investment to get the hype out and this year to let the public do it wondering whats coming. I'm actually surprised it lasted this long before pictures surfaced. I can't wait for the full run down of the new Moomba, just going through it I'm sure I missed something.

    Yes, I do understand that Correct Craft has more market share than Skiers Choice, but they aren't as popular around here. The Knoxville area also has SeaRay, Yamaha, Heyday and a few others. So new technology and offerings to market for upcoming years have to be kept somewhat secret. Most all the car companies do it, why shouldn't boat companies?

    A quick google search for 2018 Moomba Max, and you can view the "cached" page at boat trader with the single photo.

    Saw the pics. I like some of the "new" things on it. Hopefully they carry over on other models. One item I really like has been asked for a lot on this forum
