2020 Moomba VS. Mastercraft

[Sari2011]

After looking at boats all spring, we have narrowed down our search to a new Moomba mojo, or Mastercraft NXT22. Price standpoint is roughly the same. We aren't serious in watersports, just having fun with friends and family. This will be my first personal boat so just wanting to pick the brains of experienced boat people.

Both are great boats. Since you are buying new the answer is easy - get to the dealers and demo both boats and make a decision for yourself.

You will get more value for money $ for $ in the Moomba. The NXT is like Axis for Malibu...they cut corners and user cheaper vinyl with super basic designs and dumb down the cockpit
Interface to save money.

Honest question but isn't this the same as Moomba is to Supra?

No. Moomba hulls/boats are completely different, but actually share a lot of other components. Moomba and Supra are two separate brands with unique boats to each.

Do yourself a favor. Go look at a Moomba, get in in check it out, look at the upholstery and then go look at the NXT or Axis and tell me which has the better fit and finish and appointments.

I agree with Stazi, when buying my boat I could not afford a Supra (one day) or the other boats. When I looked at the ceaper options like axis and mastercraft. I noticed the quality issues right away. So I went with a moomba. Also skiers choice was the only boat company that had their designers on the forums talking about their surf system to help out their users. When I upgrade in the future it will defiantly be another skiers choice boat.

We bought ours in 2017. Went to the boat show so we could compare everything. For us we saw a lot more plastic on the others. Wasn't even close in my mind. Moomba all the way.

big orange is spot on in going to demo both and your family will come to the decision which one feels better. as you do tho ignore the sales pitch and pay attention to options included, how much plastic is in each boat, feel of not only the vinyl but the foam underneath, fit and finish of the panels, are the seams straight. overall feel of the quality of the boat. visit the service bay of each dealer and which one feels better. sales is a 1 time visit. service is where you will be spending your time after the sale. make sure you get a good feeling.

both companies sell a lot of boats each year and since you are asking on a moomba forum you know the opinions here will be toward that line. there are just as many on here that have demo'ed both and in a moomba as there are that have demo'ed both and are in an nxt.

fwiw my monies given the 2 would be moomba every time. in the value boat segment moomba has some solid boats....

Our dealer sells both Mastercraft and moomba/supra, we looked at both boats you're talking about. I was surprised at the difference between the two. Mojo all day long for us, but I'd never fault someone who bought a Mastercraft, you'll be happy with that too.

I really want to love mastercrafts and loved everything about the X series when shopping.......but I just can’t get past the ugly ass towers they offer. It was a deal breaker.

That said, the rest of the X series is so nice and the Xstar interior is outstanding.
