I think he is saying at boat that doesn't have to run 100 full ballast all the time to get a great surfable wave. My boat has the amplitude buttons but they are worthless and do nothing. Maybe a better hull design that doesn't require as much weight but in a lighter hull that doesn't suck fuel constantly. But at that point you are bending the laws of physics and engineering to get more displacement from less weight. Who knows maybe it just hasn't been figured out yet.

I haven't rode in any of the new 2022 Moombas (or any Supra) that have the stock sound dampening but engine noise would be my number #1 issue. I want to hear as little of the engine as possible.

couple issues with this. bags create mold/cleaning issues, hard to access and can pop. mb uses hard tanks but to do so they have to jettison all the floatation foam to be nmma certed. big deal to some, not to others and when the actuators fail to open to drain, have seen boats being trailered to get off the water leaning to one side. adds a lot of stress to a trailer to get off the water. there's a way to open manually but not many want to go underwater to do so.
haha. agree 100%.....
'bu and centurion had or still have the wedge and switchblade. they were designed to pull the ass end down into the water and make the wave larger without more ballast. most feedback will say they were money for boarders but surfing, don't check the option box. I believe there's a reason that other builders are not using them.'06 Supra Launch 20SSV-gone but never forgotten

On our lake, one would never guess there is a pull back in the wakeboat industry. By far the most new wake boats in a year, this year, and most of them are Mastercraft. I feel for the folks laid off and the ones who remain, it's a stressful time. I haven't been involved with a cyclic industry but spend 2 decades in an industry that died out with countless layoffs. One positive from my experience is the tough times drive innovation and positive change.

For surfing, I think you're right but in the back of my mind I've always wanted to try out the wave of all the other boats and get more perspective on the differences. I remember when I first got into it and people were saying how a Tige hull/wave is so different than a Nautique, than a Supra, than a Centurion, etc.
