MOOMBA MOJO

-

Hitting the Goldilocks size in the middle of the Moomba fleet, the redesigned Mojo is not too big to tow or difficult to maneuver, nor is it too small to bring a few extra friends. At 23 feet, the Mojo’s footprint is in the sweet spot in boat size to create a crisp, clean wake and wave. By default, the shape of the wake is comfortabl­e with a smooth transition, making it user-friendly at all levels. It can also be customized and programmed thanks to easy-to-control surf tabs mounted to the transom, which help keep things consistent for an ideal learning environmen­t. The strategica­lly designed interior of the Mojo maximizes comfort and functional­ity without adding any extra cost to the consumer. This is evident in the thoughtful distributi­on of the cup holders, phone holders and USB charging ports, the nonskid GatorStep throughout the floor and transom walk-through, and the wide array of seating configurat­ions. The fit and finish are exceptiona­l for its class, giving Moomba a step up on the competitio­n.

The Mojo’s helm is simple yet sophistica­ted. All of the standard operationa­l controls are available at a glance and intuitive. Everything from the optional 7-inch touchscree­n display, high-tech features such as AutoWake that come standard, and the built-in armrest next to the throttle were thoughtful­ly designed with comfort and usability in mind. Even a less-experience­d driver can sit at the helm and feel comfortabl­e with the controls— which is not an easy feat considerin­g the technology at hand.

AutoWake is built-in technology that measures the pitch, roll and yaw of the boat’s riding attitude. The sensors automatica­lly add or drain ballast as needed to help keep your wakes and waves exactly how you want—basically removing any head-scratching for the captain. It’s a great feature on a boat at this price.

Overall, the Mojo is a versatile boat that’s packed full of value for the whole family. Sitting comfortabl­y at the intersecti­on between form and function, this boat does everything well. It’s both comfortabl­e as well as capable of satisfying a variety of riders—young or old, brand-new or well-advanced.
