Yes we are extremely happy with what we got after waiting so long. Up to 7hours on it now so we’re almost done with the 10hr break-in point. Only another 15 before we have to swap out the “break-in” oil. Even the pups got over the idea of having to wear shoes after going for a evening cruise.

You can always fly out and check it out, I did that the first time. Now I don't bother but this is my 3rd boat and car purchase over the Internet. Generally, you can find a way cheaper boat out west, even factoring in flight, hotel and shipping.
You have to do your due diligence, a certfied dealer doing a water test is a must.
Also you have to pull the trigger quick, there's no waiting and thinking about it. If it's priced right it'll be gone.Last edited by parrothd; 05-08-2019 at 11:07 PM.

I also looked at the nxt as i was coming from a mastercraft and was always happy. But the NXT isn't a mastercraft as far as i am concerned. Its the most boring boat of all. Very plain, nothing exciting, usually sold with the 320 hp motor (only option in the 20) WHICH is probably enough, but you get more with moomba. The tower on the NXT is hideous. The dash is nothing to look at and a bit thing that i noticed was you can't sit by the tower. The handles will dig right into the back of your neck. I did show this to one of the factory reps at a boat show and he took some notes and said it was quite obvious and that he appreciated the feedback. So who knows, that may change. But for the same or less money the moomba was better. You do get some of the MC quality but at the cost of "extremely boring" boat.
MC should have called it something else like BU and SC does. It screams cheap when its not really cheap. It looks cheap and plain. MC can do better than NXT. The dealer close me won't even order any for stock, says they just aren't that in demand.Last edited by jason1973; 05-09-2019 at 09:21 AM.

When shopping in Feb., I spent a day in OKC looking at a list of boats, & 2 days in DFW area. Slalom Shop guy in Lewisville said they wouldn't negotiate more than $1,500 on anything used and all his inventory would be sold in the next 90 days, TX Mastercraft guy said, "if you find something in your budget in decent shape, buy it right away". Just confirmation it's a sellers market especially as the weather warms.
Last day in TX I drove out to BFE to a private seller. Boat was in decent shape and the price was right. Wrote him a check and drug it home that day. Most important thing once you buy, QUIT SHOPPING.
