I've looked at the Mojo, Makai, the Supreme's, Axis, etc. and we definitely want something 23' or more. After doing a lot of research, it seems Axis lacks in interior compared to Moomba, but I can't find much comparing the waves unless it is completely biased one way or the other.

I've recently found Supreme boats and have seen great reviews (some even saying some of the best surf waves out there) but was curious on everyone else's thoughts. We are in North Carolina, so having dealers nearby is very important for us for service, but we also don't want to sacrifice on the surf wave.

I think that is everything, let me know if you all have any questions / recommendations!

Thanks,
Andrew
When I was looking last year, I demoed a LOT of boats, new and used. My original budget was also about $80k. I was coming from a Moomba Mondo, but brand wasn't particularly important in my search. I tested new Axis A22, Centurion Fi22, Makai, 2016 MC X30, 2019 MC X24 (that one was never in the price range, but I'm not gonna turn down a demo session on one), 2015 G25, and several others I'm forgetting at the moment. I was also considering a 2016 Supra SG.

The absolute best wave was on the X24, unsurprisingly. It was a monster.

We ended up bumping up the budget to $100k, because we demoed the Makai and fell in love. Then the wife went to the showroom to look at it again, where it was sitting next to a Supra SL450. And the budget became $120k.
