Take a LONG look at the Moomba MAX, 22'6" and your budget will put you pretty dang new. Wakeboards really well and you wont beleive the surf. In UT we have a 2018 thats loaded for $76k and still 6 years warranty. It's a pretty simple boat when it comes to bling but it's a work horse. Autowake will really help the wife and I feel it sets itself apart from anybody else in it's class.

Thanks. I am seeing a lot of love for Moomba on here.

With everyone I know turning it off, and the fact that no other boat company has added it....... I don’t really think Autowake is something that sets them apart.

Not true. I use it all the time—off or on. The sensors and automation are great. It hasn’t been added to other manufacturers as it is very proprietary and heavily protected.

It’s a sweet system. Very worth it. I run it with big crews 100%.

People turn it off because they try to be smarter than the system and it doesn’t work right as a result. That, combined with dealers not being well-versed in the system, I think has lead to a some uneducated owners out there.

I think earlier versions of the system also needed a few seconds with the key switched to ‘accessory’ for the system to power on and zero the sensors or something like that.

Autowake has many patents. So there you go.

^^this.

I find it better off when I have a very small crew because I know exactly what I need with my boat. But, I am still checking it over and over to make sure that what I have set up is what it would run.

With a large crew, when overall weight does not matter, I turn it on because it can make nice little adjustments.
