Normally I would tend to agree, but as has been mentioned....this year was different. There wasn't much of choice if you wanted to boat in 2021. I was going to order in October, and they had just a few Max slots left. I wasn't sure if the Max was as "refined" or optioned the way we wanted it and the Makai was too big. The 23' segment is the hottest and most important segment (for builders) in the industry right now.

I was shown some "spy shots" of an unfinished Mojo hull, looked at the build sheet with options and prices for my dealers boat show Mojo (boat show was still scheduled at that time) and was told it would be a Kaiyen but 2 feet bigger. The last thing I wanted to do was spend 90K on a Max and eventually not feel totally satisfied with such a big purchase, so we decided to go with a Mojo as we were offered a fair discount for market conditions.

Of course, at the last minute we made a hard decision to go with a different manufacturer (we had a deposit check written out for the Moomba) and I think that it is partially due to the fact that we had demoed and seen the boat we eventually ordered. If there would have been a Mojo available to look at it or drive, more than likely we would not have been swayed into a different manufacturer. Even if the Mojo ends up being a much superior boat to what we ordered, we feel comfortable with and will be satisfied with what we have coming, because the decision was based on the information and resources we had available to us at the time.

It looks like an amazing boat though, and I can definitely see us missing a lot of cool features that Moomba is incorporating in its lineup. I feel very comfortable saying that if we are ever in a position to upgrade to a premium towboat, it will be Supra.
