  1. This was set-up for future integration of a rear facing camera. The ability is there but have not installed one yet. Looking for a good camera that will last and not break within a season. I've heard that the ones on Centurion and Mastercraft go out quickly and the quality is like the cheap ones you can find on Amazon.
  2. If you're driving by yourself or without counterweight open the Portside gravity fed ballast lever (the one on the left) for 5-10 seconds and then close it. This will provide subfloor weight to offset the driver weight and the prop rotation (pulling starboard) and keep the boat riding more level.
  3. I've been in a 25, 23, and 21 now with the sound dampening. The 25 with a 575 and sound dampening is extremely quiet over the 440 and without it. It's a night and day difference. The 23 and 21 are both much quieter. We were in a 23 with sound dampening with a group of 6 people all in the cockpit area and running back to the dock doing 28mph and were having a regular conversation, no yelling or trying to talk over the motor. I'll see if I have some videos but having been in plenty of MBs without the sound dampening it really helps.
  4. Top one in that circled photo is the Blower, this will come on automatically but you can also turn it on manually with this button. On your 5" digital display it will show on the top of the screen what is being turned on when you push these buttons. The bottom is your bilge pump. Again these will come on automatically at certain levels but you can turn it on here. It will also say "Bilge ON" on the top of the 5" display when you push the button.
  5. Yeah buddy, good to have you onboard. Let's go!
  6. Yes, the Exile stereo package with two tower speakers is the standard option. Exile stereo package comes with a Fusion head unit.
  7. The new Mission Power Tower (Tube Tower) is a lower cost option. It's a really good looking tower in person. The 7" center screen is an upgrade option to replace the analog gauges. The new steering wheel is standard and is a great upgrade over the previous wheel with a nice feel. There are some new vinyl colors available for 2024 as well as the Airforce blue gel color. There has been an update to the batteries with a power management system so now it is just on and off for the battery switch. This helps reduce issues with the relays and sensors due to low voltage.
  8. Website lists the 23 Alpha draft as 33.5" and the 22 Alpha as 33.25"
  9. The center tab can be used for a couple of things. It can be used to help keep the bow down or to lower the bow. If you have a lot of weight in the back of the boat and are surfing you can put the center tab down to lengthen the wave. It can also help to get up to speed or get on plane if the boat is struggling. If water is choppy and you're running across the lake you can also use the center trim tab to help smooth out the ride as it won't let the bow "slap" and will force it to stay down.
  10. Red button should be the horn. Keep in mind there may be switches for optional equipment. If the boat wasn't ordered or equipped with that option the switch will not activate anything.
  11. I think this is regional. East coast I've seen more ATX boats but it's closer to Malibu's backyard. Almost all the the more entry level boats I've been in have looked good from afar but a far from good. The NXT is probably the best put together out of that list but you're getting a very stripped down boat. At MB we are working on differentiating the Classic series more from the Alpha. This will allow us to get more aggressive on pricing and optioning the classic to deliver more value, while not having to sacrifice new features or upgrades in the alpha line.
  12. In that photo the bow was higher as we were trying to get a steeper wave for big air. As mentioned previously this boat does require more bow weight or center plate to help keep the bow down when the rear bags are full. With seating for 6 people in the bow it likes some more weight up there when not occupied.
  13. For wake surfing I have always gone through the zipper or the rope rubs on top of the Bimini. For Wakeboarding and Foiling on top of the Bimini.
