Hinged seats except for the random corner square in the rear which would be hard to hinge..
the bow is still unhinged as well
The rear lockers have a old school like rotating latch, mixed feelings about it we will see
And agree the biggest difference in budget vs premium line I see now days are the tech.
You put dual 12” screens in any budget boat and I bet you sell a whole lot less premium boats hahaJosh

Best budget Boat 2023
Yes, Haven't got a ton of time behind the boat yet as the weather has been terrible but so far initial impressions are moomba vs supreme are closer than I thought.
Again I had a 2021 Moomba Mojo raptor 400 2.0 pumps and 2.0 quick surf maxed audio options
The supreme is much more optioned 2023 S240 PCM 450 max ballast options (No surf or pump options available)
Actually the mojo was very lightly optioned and the supreme has almost every single option.
supreme is 24' however the cabin and bow and sun deck all feel the same. The supreme has flat spots to act as seats on the rear which seems to be the extra 1' of boat.
Moomba Pros- Cup holders are better located.
- Phone chargers and 12V plugs everywhere and where you need them
- Touch screen works so so well
- Go home feature adjust tabs to level ride
- Pitch and roll numbers are a great resource
- Overall build quality fit and finish, just seemed better put together more thought out
- The seat back behind the drivers seat (Don't miss it until its gone)
Supreme Pros
- Wave is better. First day out I could tell, havent had time to really dial it in yet but already pushes like my mojo did with 1500 extra pounds
- Vinyl is thicker and high quality (However no chill tech option)
- Ballast fills much quicker, I did have 2.0 pumps on the mojo however
- Transom cover is flat all the way across and fits the cooler perfect when you slide the bench forward
- Fun "coolers" at the back of the boat
Supreme has better "options" so I cant say the brand is better however I had access to
- Skylon racks are amazing.
- Sewlong Bimini makes the A3 tower Bimini look embarrassing
- PCM 450 motor is quiet more fuel efficient and powerful (I had 400 in the mojo)
- Audio is a dream, able to option 2 12" subs and 4 REV 10 tower speakers.
Moomba Cons
- Hard to get a fantastic wave out of
- Bimini had to replace
- Audio was great however bass was lacking
- I'm sure there are many more but yall already know overall a great boat
Supreme cons
Side note none of these cons Would I have ever noticed if I didn't own my moomba first
- Touch screen is garbage. Interface needs a complete over haul.
- Can only control volume from the touch screen which means you have to select volume on your surf menu then use a slider to adjust, good luck quickly turning the volume down to pick up a surfer and the back up. While volume is selected you can see nothing else.
- Go home setting just empties ballast and sets speed.
- lack of 12V plugs and phone chargers ( However wireless charger is awesome and was useless on the 2021 mojo)
- Drain plugs are both in the back and always seem to have some water stuck up front.
- Only been out in 1 rain storm but it seemed like everything under the seats got wet in the rain, where as the mojo never had a drip of water under seats unless we took a wave over the bow.
- Storage, I guess with so much ballast there is actually very little storage plus the extra 12" sub takes up most of the observers under dash.
I Used to store my boards in the rear hatches however with the hard tanks I haven't found anywhere in the boat that will fit a board.Last edited by Josh828; 05-31-2023 at 11:13 AM.

good writeup josh..
supreme is a no joke wave and I would attribute a lot of that to the old S226 back in the '00's and the centurion ownership more recently.
one can argue all the tabs and such but in the end, I still believe there's no replacement for displacement and centurion/supreme understand that message loud and clear.'06 Supra Launch 20SSV-gone but never forgotten

Best budget Boat 2023
The deep V is serious, the front of the boat is the deepest part I swear! It takes waves really well and haven’t taken a wave over the bow yet (still early)
But would be a hard decision on which boat I’d want to go 5 miles across rough water in
The harder decision is going to be the next one, Supra or centurion haha

That's a pretty boat. We looked at one that was at the Orlando boat show just before covid shut them all down. It was loaded out nice too, and honestly we were leaning towards one, but the Makai literally fell into our lap and we have not been disappointed. I see what you mean about the small back rest behind the driver. Seems like it would be an easy mod to make by supreme to put one in.

Thanks for the detailed review and update on your new boat. Sounds like some other s240 owners have been adding another bilge pump up front, i have the same problem with my Tige. The volume control seems to be the number one complaint on the S240. But it sounds like some owners have found a way to add an auxiliary volume control. I have 3 supreme dealers within 2 hours of me, so there happens to be several in stock options for me to check out, which I hope to do soon.

Talking about budget-friendly boats, it's always a hunt to find one that's easy on the wallet but still packs in the fun. On a different note, have you guys seen those pontoon boats with slides? I stumbled upon this one online and thought it was such a cool idea – like bringing a bit of extra excitement to your regular boating trips. Imagine sliding into the water from your own deck on a sunny day! If you're curious or thinking of jazzing up your boat a bit, you might want to check out this pontoon boat with slide. Sounds like a perfect way to level up those weekend outings!
