How long to break in before you can surf?

[rdlangston13]

Don't forget, these are great wakeboard boats!!

Glad you said it! Lol

Thanks to everyone for the great input. I just wanted to get some feedback from some of you that have experience. The boat actually had close to 8 hours on it when I took delivery since it was a 2017. We put a little over an hour on it demoing it and I'm sure it had been prepped by the dealer when they first received it as well as being demoed by others before I found it. I've kept the RPMs below 4000 for the last 5 hours of use, with no ballast being used, and no wakeboarding/surfing so I'm around 12-13 hours. I read back through the Moomba owners manual and the Inmar motor manual and they state what a few others have already said, follow the break in up to the 10 hour mark. I've got my 1100s bags due in next week so I'm planning to get them in and hopefully be up and running soon.

This post literally made me LOL.

If I had a brand new boat, I'd give it at least 8 to 10 minutes... Ya know, just to be sure that the ballast was filled completely.

When I bought my 2016 Craz, we tested a different boat that was already ready for the water. The one I bought was a different color and had never been in the water. We filled ballast on very first trip to lake about 5 minutes after putting it in water and never looked back. Now has over 120 hrs. on it and, “knock on wood”, no problems at all. I’m not saying “breaking in” is not a good idea, but I’ve never had a car dealer tell me to “break in” a new car. When you test drive you usually “see what she has”. I don’t know if it’s right, but my salesman told me to “drive it like I stole it“!!

That’s good to know.

I’ve had a few new boats. Never done a break in period, never had an issue.

Some of us live in the northern part of the country we don’t have time for silly 10 hour break in periods LOL. Summer would be over!

But seriously I’ve never really done a formal break in on anything that’s new.. Good or bad.
