Out with the Craz in with the MC XT21

[jcarter20]

The XT is MC’a entry line, so probably comparable in price to the Moomba. I looked at one but didn’t price it out. Personally, I like my Moomba better than what I saw out of the XT. I rode in a 2017 x25 and it surfed like shit....Because the guy didn’t have it set up correctly. No weight in the front, didn’t know where to set the tabs, etc....it all boils down to learning your own boat. Every one of these boats are capable of a nice wave.

The XT is middle of line. The NXT is the budget boat. The X is the premium.

I don't think you will be disappointed with MC. I came from an older MC and still have some MC blood but i couldn't justify the higher costs. And the NXT shouldn't be called a MC. The tower is goofy (still to this day) although improved a tad, but my mondo would out surf any NXT 20 all day long.

Oh yeah. My bad. Too many x models to keep them all straight. The NXT is what a looked inside.....and said nope, immediately.

I bought my 2016 Craz in July 2016. It took me that summer and the beginning of the next summer to get the hang of setting it up, but once I did it is a snap. All I did was replace rear bags with 1100's. I'm around 300 lbs. and can surf ropeless all day long on my Phase 5 Trident. My 12-year old son can surf probably 20 ft. behind boat. Obviously he's much lighter than me though!! I won't argue that there isn't a better wave out there among the more expensive boats, but unless you are a pro or are doing major tricks, the Craz is a surfing machine in my opinion.

I don’t own a moomba, but from everything I’ve read they perform really well and most dealers offer great support. Sounds like if your dealer lost Skier’s choice part of this may have been on them. I think this case may be more exception than the rule.

Either way best of luck with the MC. Glad to hear you’re happy with your new boat.

Not offended by your post. The issues I has was no so much the autowake in as much as the effort to make it work and to a lesser degree the small quality issues that $70k boat should not have. I’m really just not a person that wants to mess with anything I just want the system to work and do the work for me. After I rode in a buddies 18’ XT22 and saw the simplicity of the operation along with a wave that I could surf, I was hooked on the next bump up in boat. The XT line is the middle of the road line up of MC, it gives you next level bling and most important a near automatic system. Push a button and go. XT21 was at the right price for me so I jumped, larger XT models, X models, Supras, Nautique not anywhere near my budget. Like they always say an “ass for every seat”. Hell I was in love with the Craz when I got that and the Sea Ray and the Rinker... I’m sure 2 years from now I’ll be in love with the next cool gotta have surf/wake boat. Working on owning every brand 4 down, LOL. Enjoy your Waves, hang loose.

I know there is truth in this as people are looking for surf systems with not having to mess around each time.

Most people on here like to play around, learn, change, move ballast, and dial in their boats. I was just at the local dealer when a new Craz owner walked in and basically said the same thing about trying to get a good surf wave. Loved the boat, but was very frustrated at the surf wave each time out. Luckily they had a good dealer who is willing to take this person out on the water (again) and teach him how to use the system, make sure it was working properly, and give some suggestions on where people need to sit when starting off.

Loosing a dealer is a major blow on these new boats.
