    Thoughts and demo rides of wake / towsports boats: Moomba Max, Axis A22, MB Sports

    They don't have any MB dealers in the norther midwest that I am aware of so I haven't had them on my radar. I like simple. One thing I wish would have stayed analog is the outside tab control. Or even better would be dual controls, both digital setpoints and then analog switches for fine...

    The new Axis T220 is the other boat on my radar, it's just not as nice looking IMO and I think I can get them for about the same price. The Axis has the capacity of 15 over 14 on the Tige which is kind of big deal to be able to get 3 more people than my Supreme and still fit in the garage. It...

    Thanks for the reply. It sounds like you are probably in the right boat for your application. We've had water level issues a few times since I have had my Supreme and I am constantly worried about my draft. I often can't use my lift. Last year I ran aground in an area that I'd never had a...

    Does anyone have any recent experience with Tigé? I'm considering a ZX upgrade. Their boats look gorgeous but I have heard they have vinyl quality issues in the past and I'm not sure if they've changed things.

    Engine Cover Insulation Suggestions

    Mass loading will do as much to reduce your performance as it does to reduce the sound on these boats. What you want is closed cell foam sound insulation. Open cell works even better, but will allso be much more prone to water absorption and mold. If you really want to kill some of the noise...

    SVHO vs. HO schematic

    My understanding is that the SVHO just has bolt on upgrades for the physical enhancments. The thing I am not sure on is the programing. I know there are tunes you can add, but I don't know if those need the base SVHO software or not. Or if they can be used on the SHO software. It may just be...

    I just saw that Moomba launched an new Craz and I might be looking at my next boat. The only thing I am a little disapointed in is the dash, but I am hoping it's one of those things that looks better in person. Minus the display, it reminds me of something that came from like the '80s. It's...

    Trailer hitch adjustment?

    With surge brakes, there is a brake cylinder in the trailer tongue that compresses when the trailer pushes against your vehicle when you apply the brakes, thereby activating the trailer brakes. That clunk is what happens when you accelerate and the tongue extends back out and hits the end of...

    New Potential Buyer

    I know the boat market is crazy, but that still seems high to me. I think I paid around $32k for my 2014 AR192 brand new and solid it 3 years ago with 180 hours on it for around $26,000. I loved my AR192 but if you can land a 212 that would hands down be the way to go.

    Outfitting new 195s

    I love the added cleat ideas for the fenders. I may be doing that myself.

    Outfitting new 195s

    There is no better anchor than a box anchor for anything but very rocky bottoms. Hands down the best and easiest to use. Anyone who says otherwise has never used one I promise. Other anchors work, sure, but none are as easy to set and forget. Plus you don't need massive amounts of line out...

    I am so jealous you got out. This has been the worst MN spring in memory. Most days in April have been rainy with 20-30mph winds and temps well below average. I am praying that we are paying for a beautiful summer now. I'm glad the boat was okay. Those situations are what my nightmares are...

    $30,000 SX190 2015... How much am I overpaying?

    These gas prices might start to really impact the used market if they remain high with these smaller/"less expensive" boats as the buyers of these boats often have less disposable income to spend on the fuel along with everything else that is more expensive these days. Only time will tell, but I...

    $30,000 SX190 2015... How much am I overpaying?

    Seems like a lot even considering the boat market. I sold my 2014 AR192 for $26k 3 years ago with about 200 hrs on it.

    Gorgeous boat. Congrats! I am in love with these and want to trade my S211 in for one. These huge price increases make me sick though. I feel like I've been completely priced out of the market now. Once you get her home I would be very appreciative if you could get a measurement on the...

    I'm with you on the set it and forget it thing. I would also just like to stop using the bolster and just have a better seat height. I like the idea of being able to change it for the wife when she drives too. Did the holes on the base happen to line up with the factory hole or did you have...

    I'm loving the adjustable height seat Idea. Does the chair still have the ability to swivel and slide fore/aft after the upgrade? I spend most of my time with the bolster up so just raising the height would be a nice comfort improvement.

    Seating configuration change?

    Personally I wouldn't do it. In a smaller boat that wrap-around seating is gold for seating more people comfortably. The space underneath the bench is also super convenient to stash shoes, bags, coolers, or for placing a sub. It has been done though. You should be able to do a search and...

    Still working on getting that 360. We were a little light on weight this day so that didn't help. I also seem to forget that I have a right arm.

    Sewlong makes an extended shade for Centurions and Supremes to cover the sun pad. One of the things I liked about the Supremes is that their factory biminis cover more than most other brands. Sewlong also makes biminis for Centurions and Supremes that are really popular options over the factory...
