Moomba and the Usual Suspects

[jason1973]

Tige - not a lot of dealer support in the midwest
MB - same thing, hardly any support in the midwest and smaller dealer network all over. I like MB but we had to scratch them as the closest dealer was an 8 hour drive
Axis - i was originally looking hard at one before the dealer found out it was sold. glad i didn't. VERY shoddy quality and more money that same size competing boats with far less options. And again, shoddy craftsmanship
Supreme - like them but we have some shallow channels on our lake that are about 4' in depth. The draft on any centurion or supreme is usually 36" or so. If your lake is deep no issue, but for us we had to get thru a few channels so 36" was a bit of a risk for us
NXT - No thanks. Ugly tower, stripped down to bare bones and still costly. Its a joke IMO. Its not a MC. And MC should be ashamed. your only paying for the name and a sub par boat. (and i came from a MC 2006 x2) My 2006 was far nicer on the interior. Try sitting where the tower meets the top cap and hope your don't get the tower handle wedged in your spine.
We settled on moomba and so far i have been pleased. Its a quality boat without the big price tag. (I mean this in relativity to the competition)

to put is plainly, i would buy moomba again without an issue. The last boat i would buy is an Axis. Not until they start paying attention to build quality.

I love all boats, and won't toss any out in our next purchase other than Axis and NXT. I have been in some nice malibu's, supra's etc... love them all but won't spend that kind of dough for 3-4 months of summer we get.
