    Supreme was really far behind on builds this year, so I’d imagine you’ll be able to find a late delivery 2022 or early 2023 where the original purchaser bought a centurion or backed out of their order all together. That is if you’re looking now and for new.
    Anyways, get out and try to demo both, let us know what you think of moomba if you do. Sounds like they have good fit and finish from what I’ve gathered.

    Yes, that's the ZS232 that I'm looking out now. Late delivery 2022

    Not sure what’s changed from my researching 1-2 years ago when I had decided on the ZS232. But for me, and this is just more of a general comparison to everything and why I was drawn in by FineLine, so sorry if I don’t answer your exact question. In order of importance was

    1. Power plant: I wanted a PCM/GMC motor. Way too many problems with ford mills over the years in our work trucks, no way in hell that’s going in my boat. From what others have reported, the raptor motor/drivetrain is very loud.

    2. Hull: Deep V and super deep hull, the ZS is a beast and nothing will touch it for rough water. (Besides of course centurions, but same same)

    3. Style: Clearly this is only my opinion, but I love the looks of the ZS and just how everything’s laid out in it. All the other value class boats to me looked extremely cheap and very basic on the exterior, moomba was certainly the next in line for interior. Biggest complaint from me was the ZS helm, very basic and cheap feeling, fully functional but they need to step it up in that area. I’ll also add, centurion vinyl in the supreme A+!

    4. Wave/Ballast: from reading, moomba and supra need 1000+ pounds of extra weight to even run with supreme/centurion. If you’re going to add that in a moomba, add some more to the supreme and it gets even better, but it’s not needed at all.

    For me, there was enough I didn’t like about everything else I didn’t even water test them, but if I was going to another brand moomba would be it for value class. Sorry that doesn’t help directly with the mojo comparison, just where I was at when narrowing in on the ZS.

    Appreciate the info. the extra 1000lbs is what I've been reading as well. I haven't been in the moomba, only the ZS, but the 2023 looked nice from the pics.

    At sea level you will be fine. I’d say about 3000ft and depending on regular crew size is the cut off for 409 in a 23ft boat. 2907 prop is a must!

    We put on the first 25 hours at 1200ft in our FI23 with 409 and it was great, loaded with 4 adults and 4 kids, 100% ballast and 50% bow bag, it didn’t struggle even a smidge. Back home at 3000ft, +300lbs of lead nearly all in the back and same 4 adults and 4 kids, the motor was a moderate bit louder, but still didn’t seem to struggle. 
     

    All that said, in hindsight I should have just went 450, not that it’s needed, just because I run premium fuel anyways, and you can never have too much! I was just trying to stay closer on budget after bumping up to the centurion. Love the boat though, wave and rough water ride are epic!
     

     

    Great thanks. We are at 230' so should be good.

    You need to move away from speculation and deal in absolutes. Did you place a meter across the amp's main power cable terminals and measure battery voltage? If so, then you ruled out a ground cable as well. Voltage more then .5V less then battery voltage, could be an issue. You need to then determine if the drop is happening on the B+ or B- cable.

    Next, did you measure for voltage on the small turn-on terminal and power cable ground? 

    Did the shop test the amp for output on all chnls, or just that it powered up? This kind of leaves you hanging. 

    Hey Wylie_Tunes, I put the meter everywhere and on everything I could and was getting 12 volts. When I didnt see the light on the amp ever I just figured that was the problem. The biggest problem is just that I'm not great with wiring like this. I"m sure someone like yourself could figure it out in 2 minutes. The amp shop said they tested all channels but only found one switch was dirty. He claims to have 50 year old Rockford Fosgate techs on his team. I'll keep digging

    Hi All,
    I was fairly confident it was my amp that was the issue causing me to lose any sound from my speakers. I sent it to get it repaired and the guy just called me and said while one of the switches was dirty the amp powered on without an issue. I couldn't see the power light as it had fallen inside the amp. Anyway, the stereo head unit turns on when I flip the stereo switch, the inline fuse appears to not be blown and nothing from a wiring standpoint has changed as far as I know. When I put a meter to everything it seemed like all was good. People have mentioned the ground wire but I really don't know where that is located. Any other thoughts would be appreciated.

    Thank you!

    Well another update with some bad and good news.

    My dealers last 2 supremes took around 7 weeks from spray to delivered. So when our ZS232 sprayed at the start of May, we were excited and confident we’d see it for late June, which was a relief with hearing all the delays at the new supreme facility. The week following, my dealer calls and says there’s no eta on my boat, might be July, might be end of summer… great. Lucky for us, he had one Fi23 coming in July that wasn’t spoken for, somehow, so we put our name on it. 
     

    So, as it stands, no ZS for us, which I’m kind of bummed about as I love the look and depth, and that massive deep rear storage. The Fi interior is damn sharp, and the dash layout is definitely a step above the supreme, and I feel my dealer went above and beyond and offered us a great deal to get us on the water this year! The Fi will be optioned very similarly to the ZS, but only the 409 in the Fi vs the 450ho we had in the ZS. I’m thinking the Fi isn’t as deep or heavy so the 409 should move it pretty well.

    Do you think the 409 is too small for the ZS232?

    Hi All,

    Need some help here. Was surfing for a maybe 30 minutes and then I got the continuous beep from the engine. I had the bags maybe half full, no way near full. I've never had this issue before. Specs below:

    2006 Avy C4, 2 adults/2 kids total, 1000lb bags in rear side lockers (maybe half full at the time), Acme 1579 prop, impeller replaced spring of 2020, quite a bit of exhaust on the starboard side (sideswipe)

    Does this sound like an impeller, water pump or thermostat problem? I've read many forums where people have this boat much more loaded down then I had or generally have so I cant believe it was overloaded.

    Thank you!
