Yes, G6 ballast is a must have. My boat fills 4200 lbs is 7 or 8 minutes! For wakeboarding it's kind of the key to autowake handling tuning the wake. I rode behind a friend's '17 with 3 pumps last year, and we just plain didn't use autowake because it was too slow. On my boat, I fill ballast roughly to where I want it, then I run at wake speed with autowake on for about 30s before jumping in the water and the boat has it all leveled out before my first pull! It handles slight changes from people moving around and me getting out of the boat in it's predictive "Static Autowake" mode.
I intended to order my boat without any stereo options, but then a mixup at the dealer got me the tower speakers at no cost! I'm still slightly underwhelmed with them, if i were paying for them I'd be more upset...
The options that I can't live without:
All of the wake options - G6, Flow, Autowake (in that order if you have to choose)
Bimini with surf pockets - my surf boards NEVER go in the board racks now, they ride WAY better in the bimini
Rear stereo controls (would be a PITA to add later)
HEAT - Even though it's 90F most days we're out, upper 70's at sunset when you're wet gets chilly! We seriously use it nearly every time we're out!
Nonskid on the gunnels
Rear tubs (on the Max, I don't have them on the Craz and am supremely jealous)
Transom steps on the trailer
Things I got and won't get next time:
Audio options
The Cooler - it sucks
I might research doing my own board racks, just because of the swivels. I had the Roswell MAGs on my old boat and they were far superior to whatever Moomba uses. I didn't notice a surf rope wrapped around an empty board rack and pulled my brother up and broke the latch on a rack. it has a sacrificial part that is easy to replace, but the MAGs would not have done that...
Also, probably upgrade to clamping board racks
Oh, and Dove Grey turned out much darker and HOTTER than I ever dreamed.Last edited by korey; 07-17-2018 at 10:36 AM.

Thanks for the replies, I ended up ordering all the wake stuff including G6. I didn’t order any extra stereo and I chose to add the new decal.

Would be great to know the price you locked in at to give us a ballpark on costs.

And what about the Wakeboard wake ? Do you know if you can pull out an big, solip ramp out of that MAX fully loaded ? I'm looking forward to buy an moomba MAX next week but i need advice before cause i do more wakeboard than Surf. I've heard the wake is like an nautique 230 or so, is that real ?

I too would love to hear about the wakeboard wake as we spend most time wakeboarding. In the end I added on top of all the ballast and wake options, the wake prop, gator deck, surf pipe, Bimini, Titan swivel racks, dual batteries and the new decal. I will upgrade the extra stereo gear on my own.
