American Water Sports is pleased to offer this pre-owned 2020 Moomba Makai — Moomba's flagship 24-foot V-drive surf/wake boat and one of the most-compelling modern-vintage surf platforms in our pre-owned inventory. Available at our Kimberling City location on Table Rock Lake (Stock #U-KC-MK039, Hull #ISRMK0391920), this 2020 Makai is the largest and most-equipped surf boat in the Moomba lineup — built by Skier's Choice in Maryville, Tennessee (the same factory and engineering team behind premium-tier Supra) and configured with the premium-spec Indmar Raptor 6.2L V8 inboard powertrain. The Moomba Makai occupies a genuinely interesting position in the modern surf-boat segment: built to Skier's Choice premium-build standards on a flagship-tier 24-foot platform, equipped with modern wake-shaping technology and the Indmar Raptor 6.2L V8 (Ford-based marine V8 architecture shared across the Skier's Choice premium lineup), but priced at the value-tier within modern flagship surf-boat territory thanks to Moomba's intentional value-tier positioning. For the surf/wake family who wants flagship-class modern-vintage capability — Surf Gate-style wake-shaping, the Indmar Raptor 6.2L premium powertrain, the 24-foot platform footprint, and the recent 2020 model year — at a meaningful value relative to comparable-vintage MasterCraft XSTAR or Supra SA/SL listings, this Moomba Makai is one of the more compelling pre-owned modern surf-boat opportunities at our Kimberling City location this season.
Moomba is the value-tier brand within the Skier's Choice family — built in the same Maryville, Tennessee factory as premium-tier Supra, sharing Skier's Choice engineering, the same Indmar marine powertrain platform, and many of the same wake-shaping technologies. The Makai specifically is Moomba's flagship model — the brand's largest and most-fully-equipped surf boat, sized at the segment-defining 24-foot length that the modern surf-boat category has converged on for serious surf duty. By the 2020 model year, the Makai had been refined into a genuinely capable flagship-class surf platform — equipped with Moomba's Flow wake-shaping technology, Indmar Raptor V8 power options, modern surf-tower geometry, purpose-built ballast configuration, and the kind of modern cockpit layout the segment expects. The Makai's value proposition is Moomba's whole brand thesis distilled into one boat: build a flagship-class surf boat with premium-spec mechanical content (Indmar Raptor V8, modern surf system, full ballast) but position it intentionally below the premium-tier flagship pricing of Supra/MasterCraft/Centurion competitors so that the surf/wake family who prioritizes capability over badge can get more boat for fewer dollars. For the buyer cross-shopping vintage premium surf boats in the modern era, the Moomba Makai represents an interesting alternative position — not quite the badge prestige of XSTAR or SA, but genuinely competitive on platform size, surf system capability, and engine spec at a meaningful value.
Power on this Makai comes from the Indmar Raptor 6.2L V8 inboard — Indmar Marine's marinized version of the Ford 6.2-liter V8 architecture (the engine family used across the Skier's Choice premium-tier lineup, including premium Supra and flagship Moomba surf boats). The Raptor 6.2L delivers approximately 410-450 horsepower (depending on calibration) with the kind of broad, torque-rich power curve the modern surf boat segment demands — strong out-of-the-hole response with a fully-ballasted passenger load, comfortable cruising speeds across Table Rock Lake's bigger water, and the kind of low-RPM authority that produces clean, repeatable wave geometry across the full ballast range. The Indmar Raptor platform is a meaningful upgrade over the entry-tier Indmar 5.7L MCX-class engines on smaller Moomba V-drives — particularly valuable on the larger 24-foot Makai platform that carries more passenger and ballast weight than the smaller siblings. Indmar engines in this configuration are well-supported by any competent marine inboard mechanic, and parts/service availability through the Skier's Choice dealer network and the Indmar Marine factory ecosystem remains broadly developed for this vintage. For the current engine hour reading and recent service history on this specific 2020 Makai, please contact our Kimberling City team for the build specifics.
The 2020 Makai sits firmly in the modern-surf era of V-drive boatbuilding — equipped from the factory with Moomba's Flow surf-shaping system, factory-integrated ballast, and the wake-tower geometry the modern surf segment requires. The Flow system uses port and starboard wave-shaping plates that deflect water flow asymmetrically off the transom to build a clean, side-specific surfable wave on demand — press a button at the helm to switch surf side, dial in wave shape and amplitude, and the system produces the kind of repeatable, modern-spec wake the contemporary wakesurf community has come to expect. Coupled with the Makai's factory ballast configuration (approximately 2,800-3,200 lbs of integrated ballast capacity typical for this vintage) and the Indmar Raptor 6.2L's torque-rich pulling authority, the surf system produces meaningful wave amplitude across the full passenger load range. Standard Makai equipment from the 2020 vintage typically includes the integrated wake tower with board racks and tower-mounted speakers, helm-mounted touchscreen surf-system controls, factory ballast, wakesurf-side indicator at the helm, and the kind of premium audio system the modern surf segment expects. For specific tower configuration, audio system spec, and any owner-added wake-shaping or watersports accessories on this specific Makai, see the build specifics section below.
The Makai's 24-foot platform is right-sized for serious surf/wake duty on Table Rock Lake's bigger water — particularly valuable on windier days when the larger hull keeps the wave cleaner, the cockpit drier, and the overall ride more confident than a smaller platform. The cockpit layout is purpose-built for surf/wake family-day duty — wraparound passenger seating in the bow lounge, a generous midship cockpit with the helm-and-companion seating forward, observer seating at the transom for the spotter (required by Missouri lake regulations for towed-rider activities), an integrated swim platform with boarding ladder, and the kind of robust ski-tow eye and wakeboard tower hardware the segment requires. The 2020-vintage cockpit upholstery, helm electronics, and audio system represent modern expectations — this is not a vintage build with patina concerns but a recent boat that should present in the kind of well-maintained condition appropriate to its 2020 production year. For specific upholstery condition, factory option content, helm electronics spec, and trailer status on this specific Makai, see the build specifics section below or contact our Kimberling City team.
The Makai's V-drive inboard configuration places the engine amidships with the V-drive transmission running the prop shaft aft under the hull — placing the prop further back and the engine weight further aft than a traditional direct-drive ski boat. This produces the kind of wake geometry wakeboarders and wakesurfers want from a modern surf-class V-drive. For wakesurfing specifically, V-drive boats require the surfer to stay on the side of the wave OPPOSITE the prop's spinning direction — Moomba and the rest of the V-drive surf-boat segment indicate the safe rope side at the helm with the integrated surf-system controls, and surfers should follow the manufacturer's surf-side recommendation rigorously. Modern purpose-built surf platforms have continued to evolve safety margin via forward-drive propulsion (Volvo Penta Forward Drive, MasterCraft NXT-series with forward-mounted prop, Regal Surf-class) on dedicated wakesurf platforms where the prop is placed physically far in front of the surfer for additional safety margin — but the Makai represents the V-drive-class wake character at meaningful capability and value. For the wakesurf family who prefers the V-drive-class wake shape and is comfortable with V-drive wakesurfing protocols, the Makai is a strong modern-vintage option.
