All good info here Mitch. I'm in the UT area and have been to boardco a few times and enjoy the service you guys provide. I'd love to hear your thoughts on MB. I know they're a smaller company but you're always thorough in your review of boats and I'd like to know how they compare to the rest. Thanks again!

Would you ever be interested in doing a video on sanger. History, boats of the past and maybe boats of current day. Also maybe touch in as to why they are where they are in the industry?

Would love to get your thoughts on this! I’m considering a 2025 MB B52 Alpha 23’ a Supreme S220 and a Centurion FE 22. I know you’re a big Centurion guy but want to see what your thoughts are on the MB and how it compares. We are a Novice surf family. Thanks

Love all of these informational/comp videos. I watch every one of them start to finish 👍

[RealtorRhodes]

Great video. I'd recommend showing pictures of items that you are discussing as you are viewing them )screen share?) so the viewer can see exactly what you are referencing.

Thanks for all your videos. We have an ‘07 Tige 22ve and surfs well. We are planning to upgrade and wonder if there is a significant wave difference between the fi23 and the ri230? We understand the non-wave differences but haven’t heard you talk about whether or not the wave is significantly different between the two.

Thank you very much for the video.
What would your recommendation be for a wakesurf/wake board boat, mainly for commercial/private day tour use? Will be used in fresh water 90% of the time.
TIA

Got behind the 2024 GS24, it is a surf boat. It surfs extremely well I am glad they took the time to perfect the wave. It isn’t really a crossover, it is usable as a crossover but it is primarily a surf boat.

I love Mastercraft, we have had a 2006 x15 Mastercraft till this day and it has been an amazing boat, but the centurion ri series is lowkey making me want one over a new Mastercraft.

I run a Malibu M240. The M242 refresh is interior only. The only surf improvement is the addition of fat sacs in the rear lockers. The slide out yeti from the M240 is the best tow boat cooler in the game today. The locker is not useful.

The new paragon bow is also the same height as the old paragon but they actually built up a over the rub rail. So the bow doesn’t slope down so much as it actually is opposite, they raised the whole upper deck higher. The ZZ8S can run on 89 and they did upgrade the V-drive to be a heavy duty to withstand

Throw in the MB B52 Aplha 23 for some comps !!!! That boat probably makes the closest wave in surfability to a Centurion....

[mitchwhite]

All Nautiques have also switched to direct injection engines (ZZ5, ZZ6, ZZ8R and ZZ8S.) for a better torque curve and better fuel efficiency

If you would add pics of some of the things you are discussing it would be 10 times better video

Mastercraft needs to get rid of the tower and start over. Time for something new. I’m planning on switching from my xstar to centurion solely because of the new predator tower

Thanks for the info Mitch! Always enjoy your videos! No one else doing what you do for the tow boat community with content like this. You mentioned Supreme probably won’t update any of their boats for a while? How about smaller things like fit and finish? I absolutely love my S240 and the performance the only thing I would love to see improved is the fit and finish or dated look specifically around the helm. The rocker switches and the dash materials along with the steering wheel leave room for improvement. I had the same rocker switches in an early 2000s Moomba. Do you think Supreme might make any minor changes like this in 2025? This is where I would disagree a little with your thoughts on Tige and their attention to fit and finish. I think their focus on fit and finish is commendable. When someone is spending 100K plus on anything I think there should be a higher level of expectation on fit and finish. To the average person a new Tige looks the part of a 200K boat and does that better than most boats. I think Moomba has done a really nice job of this in the budget class. If I could build the perfect budget boat I would combine everything performance from the Supreme with the fit/finish and little extras of the new Moombas. Pick your battles I know. Honestly though some of the small fit and finish things around the helm, the grab handles, and things like a walk through in the back would be the only things I see as needed upgrades for the Supreme that the Moombas have. Other than that the Supreme S240 is perfect and the best of its class! For me it’s not really a quality issue as much as it is a dated look. Would be curious on your thoughts with the Supreme fit and finish/dated look minus the vinyl and sea deck flooring which is great.
