2020 MB B52 or Moomba Makai
Looking at these 2 boats. I know personally that the B52 has a great surf wave. The interior is very cheap looking to me though. The Makai interior is NICE!! How is the surf wave of the makai? Never been on the water with the makai. Just looking for some opinions of people that have been on both boats. Thanks!

MB is very rare to see on the east coast, so you need to also pick based on where you live, what your options are to resell. The moomba will have a better resale.

Where are you located? I haven't been on a Makai but I can tell you that I love our MB F22. Moomba definitely seems to have upped their game over the past few years.

The resale on both MB & Moomba sort of suck no matter where you are. Watch craigs, watch onlyinboards. People sit on either brand for a while. The MB wave is amazing. The Moomba wave while not bad can't be compared to the MB, it isn't bad, it just isn't as big. IMO, once you get over the $60k & up price most people only want the big names; Malibu, Tige, MC, Natuiqe. There are some crazy good deals out there on 2018-2019 B52's & they just keep dropping their prices. As for interior comparison? I'm confused by that, the Moomba is every bit as "cheap" looking as the MB. MB uses better quality vinyl though IMO

Thank you for the info! I never did like the Malibu waves. I have owned a few Tiges and the waves were nice. The mb waves seem to be much longer then most boats. |

You're right , Most people just buy new cause of the low payments. So resale on low end boats are weak. The boat prices will come way down after the economy crashes . It will happen soon. People just can't afford this luxury anymore.There really is no justification for the prices to increase 6 - 10 percent every year. Autos don't even go up like that. The boat industry is taking advantage of people. When the recession hits there will plenty of these boats up for auction haha. |
Interesting on your thoughts on the MB interior. I feel like its MUCH nicer than the Moomba. Just more basic (no movable reversible cushions and whatnot) The boat in it's entirety is build better too.
As far as resale, as long as you live in an area with an established dealer for both, resale will be totally FINE. I feel like there is far too much speculation on this board for what a boat sold for new, then again used. Far too many variables. |
Don't the new MB's have hinged seat cushions now too? MB is as close to the luxury market as you can get IMO. Surf system, high end stereo, hinged seats, quality vinyl, Billet towers, GatorStep flooring option. I've never gotten into an MB and thought the interior was subpar.

Makai is 24 ft 5. Foot and a half is a lot of length difference in the boat world. Have to also consider stuff like storage, docking, trailering, etc. Makai is a big boat! The mojo is the 23 foot comparison for the b52.

Update... I bought a 2020 MB B52. The surf wave is incredible. I do have the 1100lb plug and play sacks. I have had almost every wake boat brand out there and for the price the MB is the best boat on the market! I personally think that the boat market prices are way too high on the big brands. But its all personally preference I guess.

Here are a couple pics. I will post some pics of the wave next time I go out
|
NICE! Congrats. Love the color combo
|
Thank You!

well done and you went all out on the stereo package too! Great boat, you wont be disappointed. I really like the Makai and was looking hard at it but the surf wave was just not next level like it needs to be to move from the B52.

Wow, great looking boat and Congrats on the MB! All the custom touches you are get from the factory on an MB are insane. Custom matched billet accents on the tower, logos, dash, etc. Things that always had to be done aftermarket are now factory options on their boats. I have this one coming to me right now.
