As for features, build quality and styling, I swear "for me" it was a no brainer for me to chose MB. I'm sure I will be laughed at and even make some people mad when you are pro MB, but most of the people that don't like them have actually never been near one. Now being on my 6th boat, I am more than glad I went with my gut for MB again. Centurion has come a long ways and are going to be a force to be reckoned with in the future IMO.
-All I can say is go physically check one out, ride in it, and you will see where some of the "hype" is born.
-Also don't be afraid to ship....in my recent boat search, I was very close to shipping over 1400 miles, and the rates were not nearly as bad as I suspected!

This entire thread is very timely for a new person like myself, but I agree with your above thoughts.
We were just at the DFW boat show this past weekend and we crawled all over the major brands.
Since we were in the market for something in the 60-70K range, we looked hard the Axis, Epic, Moomba, & MB Sports F22.
Our concenus was also that the MB F22 fit, finish and build quality was equal to any of the top boats and better than any other in the price range. The interior was awesome and I really liked the interior setup, but we were also not big fans of the tower or the picklefork front end.
We haven't bought just yet, because the look of the Moomba is still pulling on us, but we do have an agreement to discuss the F22 more next week after the show and the Moomba folks are also working tyrin to persuade us their way.
I was hoping to find more about the stock ballast wakesurf on the F22 or the Moomba. We have one kid that rides goofy and it sure would be nice to dump and fill in seconds compared to minutes just for one person.
Anyone have experience with either stock surf setups?
