    Depending on price, thrusters would be a great addition to a VD boat. I can see many uses beyond just docking. Familyman mentions picking up riders and getting new surfer up, that's just the beginning. Where I boat, there is a restaurant in a channel and everyone wants to get a spot at the dock, people just lounge around waiting, sometimes, when your spot comes up, you're maneuvering between boats, backing up and forward to get to where you're going, a thruster would come in handy in those tight situations. Also when your surfer falls, you can turn quickly and pick them up rather than wait for wave to pass, then make a wide turn. I would love to have thrusters, but again, everything is worth it at the right price. I would not pay $8500 for it.

    Default 2021 Moomba release date??? When?

    I have got crossed up with a unexpected gust of wind or some wake from my fellow wakeboats out on the lake sending rollers into the launch.

    Never hit anything just always ready with reverse and my first mate has a boat loop at the ready.

    The dock hold feature sounds interesting.

    But for $8750, it’s a hard pass. $3000, sure.

    I was just looking at a BU build sheet on for a 2021 ordered 23 LSV: $9656.00 for the Stern Turn.

    Wowza

    look at it this way:

    $9656 on a 20 year note at 3.99% is only $58/month. less than a dinner out for 4 if ya could eat out

    and makes it easier to social distance from the sandbar neighbors if they close in on your space!!!!

    sandm - are you in sales?

    Or putting that towards $58/month to an add'l bottle of bourbon for 20 years. I can't drink what I buy now.

    Or.....
    you can look at it this way. If you put 100$ down in long term growth stocks, contribute an extra 58$/month, if you average a conservative 4% return /yr, you will have 21,322.00$ after 20years.

    I'm sure there are investments out there that will give a slightly higher yield and still be fairly safe, but, I'm not a financial planner, so, who knows.

    Hmmm, when I turn 70, I can buy 2 thrusters!!

    With the thrusters, you can simply back up to get your rider, that is, if you're paying attention enough to come off throttle as soon as they fall... and about investing, if anyone was genuinely looking at $58 dollars over 20 years, none of us would have these boats and be putting $600-1000 a month or more into the market.. but what fun is that.. lol

    How hard would it be the retro fit the subfloor hard bow ballast in the new mojo to an 2018?
