Anyone ever changed their's? Looks like it would be a simple plug and play after buying a new pump, which is only about $40. 

First post - My name is Duke and wanted to introduce myself as I am a new member to the MB family. Last year, we bought a low hour 2020 F22 Tomcat with the Raptor 440. Black hull with teal flake and gray interior. This is our first boat and we couldn’t be more stoked on it.

I was raised boating my whole life in the California Delta, moved to Reno NV over a decade ago and absolutely love life out here. We have a tight knit friend group and have been boating with them for the past several years. However, we were the first of our friend group to have a kid and that changed a lot of things (for the better!) We decided it was time for us to have our own family boat to enjoy and pass that lifestyle on to our children.

Was looking at all the brands and my good buddy pointed me to MB. Didn’t really know too much about them but the more I researched and checked out all the brands the more it was an absolute no brainer. MB is like a dirty little secret of the boating world. 

So here we are. We spend pretty much every summer weekend on the boat wakeboarding, surfing, and enjoying lake life. My two year old daughter LOVES it. Screams BOAT! every time I pull it up, loves to drive sitting on my lap, and loves to sit on the swim deck and play in the water. Made the purchase worth every penny. Can’t wait to get her up on the surf board soon.

Stoked on the MB and stoked to be part of this crew. Pics below. Cheers!

I should be getting fairly close to delivery and I have to start thinking about how to insure my 23/A. My last boat was a 19ft sterndrive worth 20K so I just used Allstate agent because my other stuff is with them.  It wasn't that bad and we had minimal coverage because the boat wasn't worth a whole lot.  I've heard big companies like Allstate and State Farm can be uber expensive but I have nothing to compare them to.

Protection is more important to me than price believe it or not. I will be a new V-Drive skipper, so there will be a learning curve and I fully recognize that there will be increased damage threats during the first year as I get used to the boat. 

That being said, any good recommendations on insurance companies? I'm looking for the best value, not necessarily the best price. I want the peace of mind that I will be taken care of if something (heaven forbid) were to happen. I don't want a 60k check if my 100K boat is lost to damage or stolen in the first couple of years. Please throw out some suggestions because I don't even know where to begin getting quotes. TIA...

I purchased my 2010 F23 in Oregon, paid CA DMV over $3500 in fee's and this is the last thing I need. It is just a CA Emissions Hang Tag that is not registered to any Hull ID or engine serial number. I simply need to show/submit one to DMV.

I spoke to the original dealership, MB factory, a PCM dealer and PCM factory and reached a dead end.

Likely, an MB from out of state will have one that was not needed to originally register in that state.

OR

advice on how to register it w/o a CA emissions hang tag (which I believe is not possible).

Thank in advance.

We will be out there for a week starting Thursday. We don't actually participate in the float, but we watch the madness from our RV Camp area

If anyone is going let me know and we can meet up

Cheers

Are there any common problem areas I should look for? What should I ask? Thanks for any help you can give.

I was playing around on the ballast/cruise control screen and noticed the “video” tab on the left, and once clicked it pulls up a blue screen as if camera can be connected. Has anyone discovered this, used it, or know of a camera system that will work? Is it indeed for a camera system?

I have a 2025 25 Alpha about to finish up at the factory. My first trip out on it will be on Lake Tahoe very soon, I can’t wait to post pics/vids of it and The Wave in action! 

Are these mechanisms able to lift boat?  My boat is only 3600 lbs dry.  I've seen pictures of one something like this maybe 5-10 years ago, but nothing for sale.  BOAT LIFT BUDDY- WHEEL-ASSIST LIFT MOTOR by EXTREME MAX has the same idea, but it's powered by a motor, not a screw gun.

Who would be up for an event like this?

The above information was from SilverSpray Sports in Michigan.  If this bill passes, I will not be able to surf on my lake.  Don't let this happen.  Contact your state rep!!!!!
