If you had the option to pay off your boat would you? Knowing that you would you possibly sell it and upgrade. Currently financing my Malibu ride 21 but things have made it possible to pay off remaining balance. Just trying to see if it’s worth paying off completely or waiting until I eventually sell and upgrade.
Good question. Yes, I would definitely pay it off. Regardless of whether you plan to upgrade or not, you will be paying less in the end when you dont have a loan. Even if it's a short time.
Thats a lot of great boats, i would be happy with just one of them. I didnt make that purchase when i was younger, couldnt justify paying that much for a toy im gonna use at most 5 months out the year. Good Luck with everything
How much did you buy the 2014 23LSV for and how much did you sell it for? Curious about the depreciation. I've been trying to find more info on wake boat deprecation before I buy one but it's hard to find.
I saw your other video about boat loans, but I don't want to go upside down on a loan, but I don't know how much depreciation to expect. I'd be buying used.
I bought it for $95k in 2015 and sold it for $80k in April of 2017, but I gave the guy a smoking deal. If I would've held out until June I could've got another 5k easy.
I just found your channel, and it’s great. I love the series keep it going! I’ve never own a boat but I grew up with a having a bayliner that my parents own and we added a tower also.
Great video. I'm just getting into my research and you're definitely the most knowledgeable person I've seen. I'm debating between a 2013 Axis A20 or 2013 MB F21 Tomcat. What's your opinion on these boats?
Thank you Jeff! In 2013 those 2 boats are very comparable. If you were looking at an Axis equipped with surf gate there would be not question, I would say go with Axis. Because they are very comparable I say go with your gut. If you can somehow up your budget to an Axis with surf gate, do it.
question here.. I am moving to Florida (Destin area) I am looking into boats what type of boat do you recommend?? a wake boat or a center console I will be using it to mainly entertain my friends and go to the sand bars and crab island on the weekends I??
Hi Garret, Destin is a cool place. I would always go for a wakeboat before any other type of boat myself, but I don't know much about wakeboats with the ocean. I'm assuming they are not great for the open ocean so if you plan on going out into the gulf as opposed to staying in bays or lakes then center console is probably the way to go.
My son just started selling Super Air Nautique at Lake of the Ozarks. I was looking at ways he could capitalize on his new venture. Although you own another line, do you have any tips for a new salesman that could help him have the best time ever?
Awesome, I actually currently own a 2022 Nautique G23. This video is from a a couple years ago when I owned a Malibu 24 MXZ. I think my biggest tip is just make sure you are checking on your potential customers often. Also, do your best to learn a lot about the features of these boats, there will be lots of questions. Try not to ask questions where the client can answer with a no. Take every opportunity to get behind the boat so you can understand the wants and needs of the customer. Hope this helps.
Great video. I am upgrading to the 2020 Supra SE 550 have learn a lot from your videos. The walk Thur transom is a must for us. Supra has a option for a filler cushion so you can still have your sun deck. This is my first wake sport boat. Old boat is a 2014 Yamaha 212x and have a lot to learn for the difference between the two boats. But keep up the great videos.
Heck yea! Congrats! Malibu has the filler cushion too, just didnt opt for that myself. Glad my content is helping. Stay tuned as I think their will be lots of helpful tips for you in this series.
Mathew Pruett you will love it! My previous boat was a Yamaha AR192 and last year we upgraded to our first vdrive 2019 Moomba Max and love it! Handling takes a little getting used to but night and day better than the jet in every regard IMO! No regrets switching from jet to prop/vdrive!
Mathew Pruett heck yea! Do the factory tour in Maryville, TN if you can and try to time it with your spray date if you're getting it custom built. That is what we did and it was awesome seeing how the boats were hand built and go through each station. I got to see mine just as they were doing the finishing touches to the interior and of course a few pics of the build process along the way. They love to give demos and if you go you'll likely have a tour with Drew Tinker and he's an awesome dude! Excited for you and jumping straight into a 2020 Supra for your first vdrive....WOW! You're going to love it and I feel Skiers Choice makes some of the best boats in the wake boat industry. Enjoy it sir! 👍
Love these! Really interested in your thoughts new vs. used. I'm 25 and am looking at a 2014 23 LSV but am also considering getting a new one. I want to take a similar route as you but right now focusing on losing the least amount as possible when i sell it. So interested on what year i should get and then when is the best time to sell and upgrade
Great explanation of LSV vs MXZ. I’m looking now been back and forth on the two. Wish Malibu would just make a walk through on LSV and make my decision easier🤣. Keep up the vids.
Thank you! I know they made a walkthrough of the 2018 23 LSV but haven't seen one on 2019 or 2020. I think it's because the only thing that has changed is the driver seat and screens.
I work for Fiserv as an Implementations Analyst. I made a video describing "how I can afford a wake boat" a few months ago if you would like more details.
@@wake_mann thanks for the reply. I'm a little concerned about bow rise and being able to see while sitting down. Have you seen anyone complain about that in the opti v hull series?
I don't know much about bow rise specific to centurion, but in my experience bow rise is pretty much essential to a great wave. The power seat on my boat has the ability to sit you very high. I've heard the G23 does great with minimum bow rise but has a crap wave compared to Malibu. Just my 2 cents.
Hi Taylor, it's normally a 5 to 6 month season for me but I go during a few months when most wont touch the water, April, early May, and late September. Normally people just do June through August here, but you just need and appropriate suit and some motivation to make it a 6 month season.
@@wake_mann Heck yes I've been looking for it since I saw your vid and can't find it! Lol. Side note...I'm looking to buy a wakeboat this year, 2015-2020 range. Looking at Malibu, ATX, Tige and Moomba. Mainly wake but surf options as well. Any thoughts? Lots of Wakesetters out there, but there's LSV, MLX, VLX, etc.
All 3 Malibu models are great but obviously the bigger the boat the bigger the wake and wave. I think in the range of years you are looking at there isnt much that will disappoint you. Obviously i prefer Malibu from the brands you listed but obviously comes at a higher price than the others typically. Good luck!

Hi Im beginning my wake boarding journey...would you recommend an Axis boat for beginners
An Axis would be a fantastic beginner wake boat, you are on the right track!
no. atx

@@wake_mann Nice share!! Totally grateful! Have tons of fun..oh..you already are!!!
Haha, you're welcome, you do the same.
Thanks for your thoughts and sharing your various bot experience, I am looking forward to our walk through transom on our new boat for sure.
You're welcome! You will love the walk through transom.

haknslash that is what my wife and I are thinking can’t wait. We should take delivery in May sometime.
Mathew Pruett heck yea! Do the factory tour in Maryville, TN if you can and try to time it with your spray date if you're getting it custom built. That is what we did and it was awesome seeing how the boats were hand built and go through each station.

Thank you! I did a used vs new video, you can go to the Wakeboat Ownership playlist and should be able to find it.
Love the videos. I bought a 08 Malibu VTX back in May. Where are you riding here, the water looks beautiful!
Thank you! I mostly ride at Bighorn Lake.
Great explanation of LSV vs MXZ. I’m looking now been back and forth on the two. Wish Malibu would just make a walk through on LSV and make my decision easier🤣. Keep up the vids.

Agree. Maybe for 2021 they’ll bring it back. 😁🤞🏻
What do you do for work?
I work for Fiserv as an Implementations Analyst. I made a video describing "how I can afford a wake boat" a few months ago if you would like more details.
What do you do for a living?
Hi Zach, I'm an implementations analyst for Fiserv (data processing center for financial institutions).
What's your opinion of centurion fi21
Hi Jason, I think it seems like a nice boat. Centurion definitely seems to have a premium wave these days, especially if you are looking for length.
@@wake_mann thanks for the reply. I'm a little concerned about bow rise and being able to see while sitting down. Have you seen anyone complain about that in the opti v hull series?
I don't know much about bow rise specific to centurion, but in my experience bow rise is pretty much essential to a great wave. The power seat on my boat has the ability to sit you very high. I've heard the G23 does great with minimum bow rise but has a crap wave compared to Malibu. Just my 2 cents.
Are you located in Montana? I'm in Idaho.
Yes I am, Billings. Hello neighbor!
WAKE MANN how many months do ya’ll get to boat?
Hi Taylor, it's normally a 5 to 6 month season for me but I go during a few months when most wont touch the water, April, early May, and late September. Normally people just do June through August here, but you just need and appropriate suit and some motivation to make it a 6 month season.
Love that RVCA hat! Where did you get it?? Great video as well.
Thank you! I think I got it it Lidz locally a few years ago. Its been a great hat, still looks pretty new.
