New 2022 Makai pricing

[Hayden]

The lake we frequent in Nebraska is 2800’ elevation. However even in the cool mornings we see a DA of 5500-6000’. During the mid day heat closer to 7-7500’. This is what the engine thinks the altitude is and performs accordingly.
My old 20 sl450 was gutless here when loaded up with people and 1k of lead.

Which prop were/are you running with both your old SL and now with the new SL?

The old sl450 we ran a 16x13.9. 4-4300 rpms all the time with a medium crew. Our new sl we are able to run the 16x17. Usually 35-3600 rpms

I’ll be honest our new sl has the 575 and it is barely adequate in Pueblo, altitude 5k feet but density altitude is 8-10k in the summer.

Having a prop pitch of 17 deg on the new SL has gotta be holding you back, no? Even with the 575 engine.

(I'm assuming you use it for surfing primarily, rather than skiing/boarding.)

We ordered it with the 13.9 prop. Since they went from a 1.5 trans to a 1.7 in 2022 it was running way too many rpms. 4200 or so. The 575 pulls the 17” prop no issues. I honestly think they should have kept the 1.5 trans

Hard to read what the 3 different options are. I can see it looks like they all 3 have the 450.

What model year did the Makai get its existing hull and what upgrades does the cirrent Makai have that Moomba impemented to the model since that year?

I am free to being corrected if I miss speak

The Makai was a new model for 2019 and I do not believe the hull has had any changes since then…. The flow 2 surf system was standard from the get go, and I believe in 2021 and up the Flow 3 system was available as an option (though may have been standard) I do not believe there have been any real significant changes to the design up until the dash redesign for 23…

That sounds about right. I think the Hull is still the same as it only came out in 2019. It was a boat and a newer shaped hull for Moomba at that time.
