2021 Makai - Motor Question

I am pretty new to this whole thing (just ordered a new Mondo) but I would think based on what I have been reading that with the 400 in a boat that big if you plan on loading it up you will want to change the prop. But as I said this is my first moomba so others would be able to confirm.

That prop should hunt just fine.

The standard general purpose prop?

One thing to consider. I hated those regular surf / wake tines from my old boat. Boards flop around in rough water or wind and the bunges stretch out. I ordered my without tines and added the PTM clamps. They are $4,000 vs. $1,200 which is ridiculous, but it honestly was worth it for me. I would also get the PTM mirror with extension. My Mirror is always in my line of sight. I will be ordering the PTM with extender bracket this winter for mine.

Also, ask the dealer if the boat cover is trailerable. I found out after the fact it was not. Which irritated me because I would have not ordered it and got a custom one. However, I still trailer with it in long trips and have not had an issue in 3yrs. If your aren’t trailering, then it is not an issue. It just took me by surprise.

Trailer steps are awesome too if you didn’t include those. Helps people get out of the boat when it is on land.

Your build looks great. BTW, I got my deposit in this time last year but you have until your boat is built to lock in your configuration. Last year, that was months for me. I put a deposit down in Sept and my boat was built in Feb or so. It arrived at my dealer in April. The one thing I did was upgrade the prop. Others can tell you for sure but you may want to get the 15.5x15 for a little extra oomph getting out of the water. It will make the top speed slightly lower and RPM slight higher but it will get you on plane faster. likely a good upgrade.

Personally, I would never trailer my boat with the cover on. They all scratch up the gel coat.

I guess you are referring to the PTM clamping racks that come with the supra line. Do they sell an adapter to go on the Moomba tower, b/c the racks on the supra tower have a different arm attachment setup.

It’s a Roswell mounting. If you’re looking for adapters.

Mine bolted directly to my tower, no adapter.
