I like the idea behind these boats. Anyone know what the price points are going to be for those things?

i wonder what the prices will be compared to malibus ride series. thats the only boat that will ever be in my price range. if the axis is near that it would be great to have options.

Ha honestly if you want extra info, just go to the wakeworld thread. It has blown up this morning into one of "those" threads and its actually quit interesting. Some love the idea, some think its over the edge for a "price point boat". I think it has way to many dang options to be a cost effective price point boat. But just go read the 50 some odd posts in the last couple hours. But hey, Randy Harris rides it so it has to be Bad A! lol

I'm pretty sure 45K gets you a fully loaded Axis with trailer

And the 21 Vride is now starting right at 45K

Malibu/Axis designers overlooked one important thing that has been on every wake boat for the past 10 years..... a wrap around windshield. So stupid I cannot believe they even made that boat into production.

Yep, but if you sit on either port or starboard side on a cold morning you will become wet with a sac'd out boat. I know there is the argument that if you are on a boat you are supposed to get wet, but that arguement seems dumb to me. Sometimes I do enjoy being dry, as do my passengers.

lol i guess its what your used to. i have a SN2001, that bitc# is LOW. i can touch the water sitting in the driver seat with no sacs, and with sacks it damn near comes to your elbow. submarining and being under a bubble of water has happened many times . like i said i guess its what your used to. im excited about manufacturs being cost concoise. (spelling?)

im just mad i missed the prototype in austin this weekend, just 75 miles Sad

We received that press release today also. I think it is a good thing for Axis to get a rider for the team. Not sure all the details behind that but the Malibu team does have enough riders to promote that line. Maybe Axis was able to offer something more to Randy?

As for the boats. I know we have the new Axis boat at the local Malibu dealership. They are getting it ready for the boat show. As soon as I can get some images I will post them.

Love the idea of the boat, just hate the non-wrapped windshield. Randys ALWAYS a good addition to any team Very Happy

The window thing was my only real complaint about the boat. But after someone pointed it out to me, it is almost similar to the older SAN 210 where the windshield ended well before the drivers elbow. It always made high fiving your rider easier. I'm curious how much wind.water would actually come into the cockpit area. Personally I think the boat looks awesome. Tower is mediocre but as someone who has always been resigned to the fact that used is the only way a boat is possible, this looks like a sweet wake at a fine price!
