2022 Mojo vs 2017 Nautique G23 and 2017 Mastercraft x23 - for surfing

[MJHSupra]

If this is your first boat, here are two important items:
1) Dealer
2) Warranty

If your area has a 'bad rap' for service on one brand, that is not going to help you when something happens and you do not want to loose water time over the summer.

With a 2017, things WILL start to break. So, what is the warranty? And when things break on these new boats, they cost $$. For example, on a 2017 w/o warranty if you do not mind spending a few thousand dollars if the screen goes out, it's not a big deal.

I'm sure you are going to the other sites as well. I've been on all three boats and I'm not brand hating:
1) Mojo
* New and Warranty
* Best boat in the Moomba line for size and performance
* Not crazy price and holds it value b/c they do not produce that many. You will have extra $ for surf boards.
* It will not have the high-end features like a NAUT, MC, or Supra
* Go to WAKE9 and watch their Mojo videos. I've been on their boat and what you see is what you will get will add'l ballast.

2) G23
* Anyone hating on a G is blowing smoke. It throws great waves and wakes.
* High dollar boat with nice features, thus could be expensive when something breaks
* If you go over to the Naut sites, you will hear about bow spray. I think it affects this model. When surfing and windy, the water spray against the hull causes the people in the boat to get 'spray'. Some do not care and with others it drives them nuts.
* I was looking at used G23 before I bought my Supra SL, but my buddy sells Supra/Moomba and I've been treated right.

3) X23
* Deep boat and nice finishes. Handles rough water very well b/c of the hull design.
* I'm not sold on the surf wave. Over the years reading on the MC forums, the X23 was not fan favorite even with the MC loyalists. It sounded like a lot of X23s new owners then switched/moved to the XT, XStar, and then the X22. They have a lot of models. They switch out and retire too.
* MC peeps also complained how loud the boat was. I think it was the transmission.

Overall, good of for you. Any of these boats are great. Have fun taking them for test rides. Look for things like:
* Bow rise
* Easy of setting up the wave
* How the helms are setup and features
* What 'extras' on on the boat to make one stand out over the others?
