Supra SG/SE vs Moomba Max

[andrewd]

I am still hanging in here guys and appreciate it! We sold our VLX last friday (two days on the market!) so we have time, we are not rushing on this.
Its a big purchase and not one that occurs yearly for us.. so getting it right is mostly my concern.
I think its probably going to be an SA when we get there, however I just wish a SE or SG could do it as well.
There just seems to be plenty of SE's around..
15 SE's are easier to swallow price wise, but I really have a sneakin suspicion that that smaller wakeplate just ain't going to lift the arse enough to have a hope in h*ll to get the the wake clean enough down at 17. Maybe the 16+ with the larger plate... but it is starting to feel like the sweet spot for a decent all around wakeboat/surf boat is 22ft'ish. little smaller side for more wakeboard focus.. a little larger for more surf focus.. but that's just a feelin.

I guess the last thing I'll throw out there: is Autowake (at least in 2017 version) really worth the chase compared to a 2016? Meaning.. I know when we demo'd the 19 Max it had the G6 ballast pump option and that all "appeared" to be smakin great (I wasn't driving and more focused out the back of the boat). But the 17's don't have the G6 option in the Supra's. So I guess what I am asking here on this point: is it worth the upcharge to upgrade to the 17's over the 16's? I guess I should also ask: is this same question worth asking for surfing vs wakeboarding? Its a really valid point to me. Because if Autowake in the 2017 version really needs the G6 ballast pumps to work great then maybe its not worth the premium and I could look at 2016's. Comments?
