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

I like the Chill-Tech vinyl material and you get power folding tower standard too. Yea I can never afford that just admire from a distance lol. Badass boat!

@haknslash did you see the touchscreen on the passenger side also? It's in the video they released.
 
Chill tech vinyl.....more aptly named (for NC and further south)...the "Burn your ASS OFF Vinyl"!!!! I have black headrests on my boat....and wish I didn't....can't imagine how hot these would get!!!

You might be surprised at how well these new tech materials are performing compared to your run of the mill marine grade vinyl. Mastercraft does what they call "Cool Feel" vinyl interior basically using similar tech material to what Supra is going to use. I think a few other boat manufacturers use a similar type of material so it's not necessarily new but they have proven to work and allow you to spec out interior schemes and colors that otherwise you would run away from fear of burning you out of the boat.

Even on bold interiors such as this one below that looks like you should be able to grill a steak on it.... they actually don't get butt blistering hot but instead warm...

In the “big” wakeboat market, MB will also soon be releasing its new F24. I bet it will be awesome and I’d imagine in that same $100k ish price range. Will probably have fewer trick gizmos but I bet you it will be a surfing machine!
 
Not to re-ride the thread, but back to our little'Yamahas, for a change, finicky as the wave generation process is - it can give great results... The new wave behind my (totally custom, nothing from factory but the hull) AR240 - outfitted with WakeMakers and @jcyamaharider / Gatlin tech is INSANE (for a non-dedicated wake boat):

I agree you can make a very good wave out of the Yamaha but once you get behind one of these newer tow boats and can have 2 second transfers while under way it is totally addictive, that is the biggest thing our boats are missing.
 
The ability to quickly change sides is definitely cool (takes about 4 seconds total on my MB)....but I've yet to ride with anybody who can consistently stick a transfer! Fun to try, though. However, it is awesome to be able to switch wave sides between regular and goofy riders without having to do anything but push a button.
 
This Centurion catches my eye every time I walk by. Must be the bright color compared to the other boats around it. Pretty cool where the surf boards are stowed in pockets on the bimini.

I like how deep that Boat is. Looks more like a traditional deep vee compared to other wake boats.

Yup they are a deep v boat and one of the reasons I really like Centurion. They are supposed to ride really nice and smooth. Just pricey $$$$$$$$!!!
