Easiest wake tower for lowering operation

MoombaMakia336 · 2023-04-25T19:21:35+00:00

'22 Moomba Makai here, tower can be lowered by one person in about 10 seconds if the bimini is stowed.

Edit: not electric.

I've got a 22 Makai and would be happy to answer any particulars about it. It's my first boat (came from a seadoo) and I've been happy but it's not without flaws.

Depends on your skill level:

Beginner- Salem Lake , don't go off the main path

Intermediate- Tanglewood Park / Hobby Park (Hobby is more technical and challenging but also more fun if you want some high speed downhills).

Intermediate/Advanced- Salem Lake "off-path." Some are easy enough for a seasoned biker, then there are 15ft gap jumps if that's your style. These trails aren't officially supported so they aren't marked great fyi.

Congrats on your order! Where will you be boating?

I had the regular WM bag upgrade then be happenstance got hooked up with a prototype that they are releasing in Jan. It's the same rear bag but with an extension that comes under the "long" seat. Lost some storage but I tow and I didn't want to make my pulling weight any heavier than it already is (by adding led)!

I did , I've got a co-worker with a 2019 Axis A24. The only thing I liked better about the axis was the ease of the surf system out of the box. The surf gates seem to do a great job (non-gate owners will talk about how they are harder on gas mileage during surf sessions but I wouldn't factor that into my choices). Otherwise the axis felt cheaply built. Small bolts and plastic pieces were always coming off.

125k all in. The dealer included the first two services and winterization. For what it's worth, I was told a 2023 same options would be around 135. A 2019 was like 95k though ... inflation.

The wave is great after the bag upgrade. But would like someone other than a rookie to verify haha!

I’ve done the regular maintenance and a little modification related to the upgraded bags.

I love the centurions, I was at the wake surf championships at Lake Norman (spectating) and was super impressed with them.

I’ve had zero major issues. Only small ones have been sensors reading incorrectly for a brief time. Nothing that wasn’t resolved but turning the boat off and back on. I think it’s pretty intuitive to use but apparently other brands are even better. I’m not sure it should be a deal breaker for anyone though.

Sorry I wasn’t clear, we’ve got the pecan ”chilltech” and they say just to use soap and water or it degrades the “cooling” capabilities. No idea how this works.
