I demoed a Max today

Yea I think the white rubrail was a crucial decision and will really bring it all together, looking forward to the pics!!!

Crazy that the Max looks a little bigger than the MasterCraft X24 from this angle . Such a deep boat! The poor Malibu VLX looks like he is about to get squished by two monsters

Those wheels look good too, would be a perfect compliment to the wheels on my wife’s Suburban RST

wow those really would be perfect match for your wife's Suburban!


Mine aren't a exact match to the aftermarket wheels on my F150 but I thought they would at least blend a little better than the factory 5-star wheels they all come with. Close enough for me for a trailer lol.



What I did find interesting is there is a typo on Moomba's website regarding the Max and factory wheel size (link). Moomba says they come with 15" but every Boatmate trailer for a Max I've seen comes with 14" wheels. Also interesting is the cargo capacity of the wheels vs the trailer. I guess they design it in such a way that the wheels are the weak link before welds of the trailer? 6,100 lbs doesn't seem like a lot of headroom when you factor in the weight of fuel or general cargo and 100-200 lbs of lead ballast.

Something interesting I realized with my 2019 Max. Apparently Skiers Choice made a change to the upper glove box access door. In 2018 this door had a plastic cupped pull handle and I’ve even seen this in earlier 2019 Max builds. Somewhere along the way in 2019 builds they decided to give new Max owners an actual metal D-ring style latch. Not sure exactly when they decided to switch these in 2019 but I like it!

Nicer looking upgrade IMO. Including some pictures of a 2018 style for reference and some pics of my 2019 latch.

2018 and early 2019 version....



Later 2019 version...

Mine was built in November and has the D-ring.

Interesting! I need to find out when the two at my dealer were built because they have the 2018 style. Also noticed in the AWS 2019 Moomba Max video theirs is the older style too. Interesting indeed!

Out of curiosity does that actually latch to anything in the glove box?

I don’t think it does other than look nicer than plastic. A guy on the Moomba Supra Facebook group said he drilled a hole so the latch would actually sort of lock in place on his 2019 Max. I was thinking of trying a magnet rather than drill. I asked if he would post some pics so we’ll see I guess. I wished there was a lock for it and the side access door.

Ya I noticed it on my Makai when I first got it and the dealer contacted Moomba and was told that is how it is . Doesn’t bother me I just thought it got missed.
