2026 Moomba Max — Designed for the Way You Ride and Relax
Every great wake day begins with confidence in your boat. The all-new 2026 Moomba Max combines reliable Indmar power with refined design and exceptional space for both riding and relaxing. Built for those who want professional-level surf waves without giving up family-comfort practicality, the Max stands out as one of the most balanced wake boats available today. SouthTown Watersports in Charlotte, North Carolina, proudly represents this model, offering local riders access to a builder that continually raises expectations for performance and usability.
Performance and Power That Drives the Day
At the heart of the 2026 Moomba Max is the Indmar Raptor 6.2L V-drive engine, delivering 400 horsepower through a well-engineered drivetrain. This setup offers steady torque at any load while maintaining low fuel consumption and quiet operation, even under heavy ballast. The V-drive configuration shifts the engine weight aft, which enhances both balance and wake formation—ideal for riders who demand consistency and push progression. Whether you’re chasing perfect surf waves or launching smooth wakeboard lines, the Max offers predictable pull and seamless transitions.
Hull Design and Surf Systems
The Max’s deep hull profile adds confidence in choppy conditions while giving Moomba’s surf system more volume to work with. Beginners can shorten the wave and flatten out transitions, whereas advanced surfers can load ballast and generate long, powerful waves. With simple touchscreen control from the helm, every setup feels intuitive. The AutoWake technology, exclusive to Moomba, manages hull attitude in real time so riders experience repeatable, quality wakes session after session without constant adjustment.
Space, Storage, and Comfort for Every Passenger
With a seating capacity of 16, this 22-foot boat carries everyone comfortably across large lakes or small, winding waterways. Moomba’s designers increased cockpit freeboard for safety and added ergonomic contouring throughout the lounge. There’s storage space beneath every seat, allowing boards, ropes, and gear to stay organized. Vinyl surfaces are durable yet easy to clean, and multiple color options let owners personalize their setup. The transom walkthrough keeps wet feet off the seats, while the convertible rear bench transforms into a rear-facing seat for watching the action.
Technology and Control
Centered around the intuitive Moomba touchscreen dash, key driving functions are easy to access and customize. From ballast adjustments to stereo settings, all core features are integrated within reach. The helm layout is clear and uncluttered, designed around real driver feedback. Each switch, port, and gauge works with precision, so even a new pilot feels instantly comfortable. Integrated GPS speed control locks in tow speeds, vital for consistent wakeboarding and surfing sessions.
Craftsmanship and Long-Term Reliability
Every Moomba is crafted using composite stringer construction, ensuring strength and durability without extra weight. Moisture-resistant materials prevent rot and extend hull longevity. Indmar’s Raptor series powerplants are known for straightforward maintenance and robust reliability, meaning more weekends on the water and fewer at the dock. In addition, Moomba’s limited warranty coverage adds peace of mind, reflecting confidence in their design and engineering.
Lifestyle on the Water
The true success of the Max lies in its harmony between rider performance and shared enjoyment. It creates ideal wake shapes for trick progression while still being a comfortable all-day cruiser. You can surf early morning glass, switch easily to wakeboard sets mid-morning, then spend the rest of the afternoon anchored in a quiet cove with music and friends. The vibe is equal parts fun and dependable—a boat that supports spontaneous adventures and lasting memories.

Comparison

The 2026 Moomba Max, available now at SouthTown Watersports in Charlotte, North Carolina, delivers a balanced blend of power, space, and modern surf technology in the 22-foot category. Buyers considering a premium wake and surf boat often look at alternatives like the Malibu 23 LSV, Axis A24, and MasterCraft NXT24. Each of these boats targets performance-driven families and weekend riders who want optimized wakes, reliability, and value. Below, we examine how the Moomba Max compares across critical aspects such as performance, build quality, onboard technology, and ownership value.
Performance Comparison
With a standard 400 horsepower engine and V-drive configuration, the 2026 Moomba Max produces consistent, responsive handling with plenty of torque for both wakeboarding and surf sessions. When compared to the Axis A24’s 410 HP and Malibu 23 LSV’s 430 HP options, the Max achieves competitive pull strength while maintaining fuel efficiency due to Moomba’s optimized hull design. Moomba’s Flow Surf System delivers clean, adjustable waves across a wide range of rider skill levels. In contrast, Malibu’s Surf Gate and MasterCraft’s Gen 2 Surf System offer similarly tunable waves but typically at a higher cost of ownership due to premium pricing and optional upgrade requirements.
Build Quality and Materials
Moomba has refined its approach to construction using durable, high-density composites and precision-molded fiberglass structures that eliminate wood from the build. This results in long-term reliability without added maintenance concerns. While Malibu and MasterCraft lean on luxury finishes and thicker upholstery, the Moomba Max emphasizes rugged, easy-to-maintain interiors designed for families who ride frequently. The fit and finish rival higher-priced competitors, giving buyers an excellent balance between durability and comfort without inflating costs.
Standard Equipment and Features
One area where Moomba consistently stands out is in its list of standard equipment. The Moomba Max includes key features such as an intuitive 7-inch touchscreen command center, the Flow Surf System with Autowake, integrated ballast tanks, cruise control, and a premium Wet Sounds audio system—all standard. Competitor models from Malibu and Axis often require additional option packages to match similar configurations. Buyers comparing equipment lists will find the Moomba Max delivers a near turn-key setup right off the trailer.
Innovation and Technology
The 2026 Moomba Max continues Moomba’s strategy of incorporating advanced surf systems and user-friendly software in an approachable package. Autowake technology, a hallmark of Moomba design, constantly adjusts ballast and pitch variables to maintain consistent wave shapes. In contrast, competitors like the Malibu Surf Gate or MasterCraft SurfStar include similar functionality but are typically bundled within higher-cost trim levels. Moomba’s straightforward technology ensures that both seasoned riders and newcomers can fine-tune wave profiles quickly and confidently.
Warranty and Support
Moomba’s commitment to product durability is reinforced by a strong limited lifetime hull warranty and five-year components coverage backed by Indmar engine protection. MasterCraft and Malibu offer similar warranties, but Moomba’s coverage often includes simplified service terms with fewer exclusions. The support network through authorized dealers like SouthTown Watersports ensures professional setup, ongoing maintenance, and access to genuine parts locally in North Carolina.
Value Proposition: Why Moomba Max Leads Its Class

For buyers who demand performance without unnecessary complexity or inflated upgrade packages, the Max delivers efficiency and capability that align perfectly with practical ownership. The combination of power, technology, and support makes the Moomba Max one of the most balanced wake and surf boats in its size range.
