There is often an ongoing assault on newer boats (usually with a mention of their price) from people with older boats. The fact is, with enough ingenuity, dedication, weight you can make a nice wave on most any boat. It’s not magic.

New boats offer a ton of things that people want that aren’t wave related. And they often need dialing of their own to work well as well.
That boat had nothing on it better than my 2014 Mondo, except the Power Wedge and the surfer remote that can control switching sides, speed, and music volume (that thing was cool as hell). Neither of those things make it worth double what I have in my boat.

The power wedge gave him superior control of wave height and length over anything Moomba or Supra have. However, it's not worth a 10k premium on a loaded Craz, or a 20k premium on a loaded Max. The best thing about that boat was its ability to make a great wave right off the showroom floor. It didn't need any extra tinkering or ballast added.
