Ballast systems: Bags Vs. Tanks

Bags VS Tanks.  We get all sorts of questions about this topic.  Here we will answer a few of the common questions we get asked:

 

Why does Supra/Moomba use bags instead of tanks?

 

A bag system is actually a more expensive system that is more rider friendly.  If you want a bigger wake simply take out the stock bag and put a bigger bag in.  Up to 3200 lbs all with a flick of a switch.  Did you know a leading competitor of ours has a stock hard tank system but offers an OPTIONAL, more expensive, bag system?  With Supra and Moomba you have it standard. 

 

Which is better, bags or hard tanks?

 

For the wakeboarder or wakesurfer, bags are better.  Why?  It gives you the option of having an upgradable system to have the biggest and best wake possible while still being plumbed into the stock system.  Some of our competitors also still put their hard tanks in the rear storage compartments.  You lose your storage all of the time when you have these.  At least with bags, when empty, you can use ALL of your storage compartments. 

 

Why do you not put your ballast under the floor?

 

Supra and Moomba do not do this for many reasons.  Number one, under floor ballast tanks are TINY.  Who wants a tiny ballast system resulting in a tiny wake?  Number two, open bags are upgradable with the stock ballast pumps.  Number three, open bags are more serviceable. Number four, what are you sacrificing if you put your tanks under the floor?  Our stringers go there; where do our competitor’s stringers go or do they have any at all?

 

Don’t bags take up your storage space?

 

We are the first to admit, yes, bags do take up some of your storage space.  Supra and Moomba improve on their bag shape and size every year so that the storage space in the compartments can still be used even with the ballast is full.  If you had a competitor’s boat with a measly 850 lbs of ballast, to match our wake a rider would want to add another bag in the storage compartment.  This would take away storage space, most of the time more space than our bags takes up.  Plus, wouldn’t you want it all hooked up to the stock ballast pumps to fill all with a flick of a switch?

 

Why do I need a big ballast system?  The stock system is as big as I’ll ever need.

 

Supra and Moomba and WAKEBOARD, WAKESKATE, and WAKESURF boats.  If you want a small ballast system, no problem.  We can take our ballast out or replace our huge stock systems with smaller bags.  But why would you want to do that?  We’ve never met a wakeboarder that doesn’t want a big wake.

 

 

Let’s compare the size of the stock ballast systems in the 22 ft range for a few of our competitors, most of which use hard tanks. 

 

MasterCraft X-Star                                         865 lbs

Malibu Wakesetter VLX                                1250 lbs

Tige RZ2                                                         NONE

Super Air Nautique 220                                  849 lbs

 

Now Supras and Moombas:

 

Supra Launch 21V                                          1450 lbs

Supra Launch 22SSV                                     1450 lbs

Moomba Mobius LSV                                    1200 lbs

Moomba Mobius XLV                                   1450 lbs

 

So yes, our boats do come with more ballast.  Do our boats need it?  NO!!! But why not have it?  After all, these are wakeboarding boats.  Put any of our stock boats against a competitor’s stock boat and I promise Supra and Moomba will walk away with a win every time.

Did you know……

that several key materials used to build a Moomba are the exact same products that come from the exact same manufacturers that our competitors use? Really, our direct competitors use the same gel coat, resins, fiberglass, engines, dash, carpet, vinyl and towers. Doesn’t it make you wonder why their boats cost so much more? Something else to think about is that not only does Moomba and its competitors use similar components from the same manufacturers, they also use a similar process to build their boats, yet Moomba stands behind their product for a longer period of time while offering consumers a better value. And Moomba’s retain their value. Check out our construction process at http://moomba.com/construction/ and our leading L4 warranty at http://moomba.com/warranty/. So exactly what is it that allows Moomba to offer its customers uncompromised quality, reliability and performance at such a remarkable value? Moomba’s philosophy, keep it simple. Moomba maintains a no frills approach and avoids pointless markups. Moomba’s are built with highest quality, time proven components to offer the best value, but most importantly flawless, reliable performance season after season. And why is it that Moomba’s retain their value so well? It all goes back to that no frills approach and no pointless markups. Which means you will never see Moomba offer $20,000 off the retail price as some of our competitors have done causing their current owners boats’ to depreciate $20,000…ouch. Can you imagine if you where the customer who paid the $20,000 before the big sale? At Moomba we also keep it simple by not playing games with our pricing. Moomba was affordable, before affordable was the trend. Interesting…huh?

New Years Rant

Happy New Years to everyone.  This year was the start of a rocky year for everyone, including the boating industry.  Some crazy things have happened over the  past 6 months or so that represents a “change” more than anything.  Outside of the wakeboard scene we have a new president elect, a credit crisis, official “recession”, governement bailouts, possible US automaker shut downs, and gas ranging from $4.50 to $1.25…………crazy stuff.

In the wakeboard boat industry you have a major player deciding to shift focus and start building fishing boats and yachts, another industry leader whose owner decides to sell his share and start selling his number 1 competitor’s boats, and then a third major boat company who releases a new price point boat while in the process forgets that they already offer that, therefore driving resale values of their boats WAY down!  Plus, there has been no testing of this new boat and appears to be a direct copy of 3 other major brands…………….hmm………..innovation or immitation?

One thing is for sure, Skiers Choice (Supra and Moomba) is here and going strong.  With new items such as the new Supra Launch 21V (Trailer boat magazine’s Excellence in Design award winner), the new Moomba Outback V arguably the best crossover boat on the market, continued partnership as the official towboat of the World Wakeboard Association World’s Event, and the new partnership with the largest wakeboard company in the world……..Liquid Force.  No shift of focus, no new gimmics, no crazy ownership shifts, just buidling the best boats with the best wakes.

Everyone have a Happy New Year and keep the wakeboard industry going strong!
