I considered a 23ZX in early 2021. Went to the dealership in northern WI to look at a new one.
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 problem in because the water level was so low and I wasn't thinking. Fortunately it was a swampy area with a really soft bottom and I was able to motor back out. My strainer was packed and the motor started overheating by the time I was out.
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 would also be an easier fit on the height than the Tige too. I really hate the wedge though. It doesn't seem to produce as firm of a wave as my Supreme and it will be far less fuel efficient draging that boat anchor. I know, I know the old saying if you have to worry about gas then you can't afford it, but that shit adds up and I've got plenty of other things I'd like to also spend money on. I wish Moomba would get rid of their current towers and and put something on that folds low. I like the new Craz a lot but there is no way that will go in to the garage. The Supremes have gotten too tall now as well so the S220 is out, which would probably have been my first choice (exept their dash is stupid now). The ideal choice for me would be the new Mastercraft XT22T, but I just don't think I am ready to drop $160k+. I haven't seen any on dealer lots around me either.
This boat right here.....if I was to come into some money I'd be on the doorstep when they open. They ship all over the place, too.
From our tests - the Axis puts off a nice wave, we had a deposit on the T220 until awe demoed the supreme.This boat right here.....if I was to come into some money I'd be on the doorstep when they open. They ship all over the place, too.

The malibu/axis wave is super tall without as much push as some of the other brands. Everyone sees that wave and thinks it's amazing due to just how massive it looks. It's a good wave and can be even better with more weight. Just it isn't as long as some of the other brands with tabs rather than surf gates.
Boardco has done a few of those vids, but they're not exactly impartial.
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 tuning. I have to go through like 3 menue screens to change my setpoints on mine so I usually just keep mine at 90-100 on the opposite surf side to add some list rather than do any real wave shaping.
How's the wakeboard wave on it?
After riding the wave for the first time last night I have a feeling that my rear bags are holding air like a few others complained about (on the Moomba Forum I can't get access to
), so looking at that next time I'm out. Push should be more, but I'm sure there are things to tweak. Totally new system to learn and adjust, been fun.
It looks good but haven’t had anyone try it out. We mainly surf, cruise or chill in sloughs.
The first time you fill without dialing in your ballast timers it’s expected to get some air. Once you purge the air and adjust your fill times you shouldn’t have trapped air. Another option a lot of us do is remove the air vent plugs and relocate the overflow from the bottom of the bag and move it to the top. That way air pockets get vented via pressure as the bag fills. It’s hard for the stock venting setup to manage that since it’s located at the bottom of the bags. I have a video on my YT showing how to vent the midships and you basically would do the same process for the rear bags. I also added check valves to make sure they drain like prunes. I forgot you had issues with the forum and I’ll make another post/bump in that thread for you.After riding the wave for the first time last night I have a feeling that my rear bags are holding air like a few others complained about (on the Moomba Forum I can't get access to
What?! Sounds like a waste of a nice wave!
I’ve pretty much given up wakeboarding too.. my last few face slapping feet ripping from board wipeouts did it for me..What?! Sounds like a waste of a nice wave!
