That's extremely concerning! I guess I'm in for a trial ride before I sign on the dotted line.

Sounds like Moomba needs to go to a side wakeplate (wakegate) like everyone else.
That design is patented, so they would have to pay royalties to Malibu if they did.
The first boats that came out had undersized bags (mine were 650’s). These days they are shipping with 900lb bags instead. Would it be better if they shipped with the biggest bags possible? Sure...but you would loose all storage space and exceed the max weight placards. Nonetheless people upgrade to get the biggest bags they can and don’t care about storage.
No matter what you order for a boat, you find that most people do upgrades because they want the biggest wave they can get. My buddies brand new G23 surfs no better than my boat with its stock ballast. Could he add bags on top of the Built intanks of course, but again this is an upgrade. And go price out the custom fit bags for a G23 and get back to us.....
At the end of the day you can buy a Moomba, add bigger bags, lead etc. and still be ahead in both performance and cost of a lot of the other boats out there.
Even my other buddy’s Axis which probably cost the same as my Craz and has a inferior interior, tower, dash etc, needs bigger bags to compete with my boat, and it comes with the Malibu gates. So it’s up to the buyer and what he values. I have yet to see a turn-key boat that compares with Moomba that gives you the same value for money.
