    Default Which model surfs the best?

    So it's a simple question I guess but may be a controversial (or complex maybe) answer. I know everyone will say "it's personal preference" or whatever, but give it to me straight: Which Moomba model produces the best Regular or Port side wave (I don't care about the Goofy wave)? I would guess the Makai, but is that correct?

    Yes, bigger running surface, but needs more weight.
    Next would be the Mojo.

    Agree that technically Makai, but it takes significant aftermarket weight and or a Big crew load to reach full potential.

    I would argue any running surface 22-24feet will absolutely crush a massive wake set up properly.

    New Craz, max and mojo are much closer out of the box than Makai.

    All boats will benefit from added weight and displacement.

    My craz wake is probably almost a foot taller than my mondo wake and it was setup well. Still trying to dial in the craz. The brand new craz should be insane with 4k stock ballast. Crew ballast weight distribution

    anything over 21.5ft would be my suggestion. unless you are on the pro circuit, any of the moombas over that will produce waves that are solid. the "best" wave is very subjective and what I say is best might not be what Larry/MJH would say...

    the 20-21ft hulls can produce a good wave but mx calls it right. getting to 22-23ft make a night and day difference in the wave.

    I'd take up the debate on the makai tho. our tige 22ve had a much better wave that was easier to set up than a friend with a 24ve and my cousin's 2300.
    sometimes a longer hull isn't better. everyone remember the MC X80..

    LOL! You have asked a question that will still be asked for all eternity! Thats like asking people which car drives the best!

    Another way of thinking about it is.......

    They all surf excellent. If you were a pro, you likely have a sponsor and getting a discounted or free boat.

    So grab the boat you want and surf it.

    I put this chart together to try and get a basic understanding of each boat wake making potential. Weight per foot of boat length. I took out 1500 lbs for wedge Ballast in the main column but put it back in on the right.boats.jpg
