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

My next will likely be the Phase 5 Model X.
 
Weight is king as you all likely already know. With such a light crew 200# I ended up adding midship bags on top of the subfloor plus an additional 1,000# of lead. For 1,600ish pounds over stock. Wave is awesome now. A little more push than the tige that I was riding behind on Wednesday. I need to get it a touch more dialed in with the tabs/speed. I would like to lengthen it just a little bit more as the front has a quite a bit more push compared the the middle and rear (maybe that’s just how it always is?). I’m hoping if I can stretch it out or play with the tabs a little it will be more equal all the way through.

I was able to go from the back to the front with my original board without using the rope and I wasn’t able to drop the rope last time on my boat.

I can’t wait to try it next weekend with the other board we really liked.

:D well that didn’t take long! Yes weight or displacement trumps all! I bet she throws a real nice wave and can’t wait to see some pics and vids. We have a light crew and getting 100% actual displacement on AW is when it really starts to shine. Did you add a check valve when to tied in your overflow? I wished I had the larger 7“ screen. You get more data at a glance and it’s more easy to read.
 
Played around a little more with settings, had 3 additional adults with us today so an extra 450-500#. Got the amp gauge to max out,

Ended up around the 2400# range with a surfer in the water. Wave was wild, we left autowake on all day. Didn’t dump ballast for no reason dropped a % or two here and there when people switched sitting side to side, but filled it back up when they switched back. Only time it dumped more than 10% was when people moved up front from the rear so I think it worked perfectly, but we had 2,400# over stock in the boat.

Not the best pic, but this was with 200# dumped from the front after my mom and son moved up there.

Wait until you ride a true skim style board! That will make the Nubstep feel like it is locked into the water. Fun fun!
Pretty much all I ride anymore is my skim. I love the loose feel and I am getting really close on being able to complete my spins and still hold the wave. I highly recommend everyone tries one!

They are super super fun. I agree!
 
Stupid YT killing the quality with its compression but here’s a video I threw together from yesterday.

 
That’s looks awesome!!! With the price of wood I don’t even want to know :D but it is looking great ?
 
Telling us his a millionaire without telling us his a millionaire.

Lol I can’t believe the price of wood is still this high.

wake9 gave us some tips on the mojo since he’s had one for a bit and the amount of push is amazing bringing the nose up to 10. I ended up taking fins off our new tako (leaving just the single middle) since I could barely keep the board off the transom. New goal is to land a 360 the week we are down over the 4th.
 
Running through some video footage and I forgot my daughter caught the moment I got a power wash to the family jewels from some wake boat rollers :D. I had to let go shortly after just so my boys could settle back down out of my stomach lol.

 
Went to the Supra Pro Wake Tour Stop #2 today at Oak Mountain State Park and had a good time watching the pro's compete.

edit - here’s some video I threw together....


Tons of pictures below :)....
