Axis Wakeboard Boat Forum

Sweet looking boat! Can't wait to see the surf wave.

Thanks! Texas boy... Had a really hard time choosing between the T and A series. I am really happy so far.

Oh... and There was a top secret test boat there that I couldn't take pictures of.
It appeared to be a A 20 but a different tower.

Uh oh!!!!!

One more thing DatTexasBoy...I asked the boat tester who was testing my boat (he has been doing it for 15 years) what was the most common prop ordered on these boats...he said the 1235 and 587 but the Cinco was very popular lately. He said the Cinco has "shimmy" that you feel in the steering wheel at wide open throttle. He said it happens on all the models and not to worry that anything was wrong. He stated that top speed was a little reduced but it had awesome holeshot. I am thinking the Cinco was a good choice for now.

They have definitely changed some of the layout since I went in 2010 and watched mine get built. I've been a couple more times as recent as last year and there were the 4 paint booths added and etc. When they were building mine, they were building 8 a week I believe of both Malibu and axis. From what i've heard they are hammering out almost 20 a week now. Wetsounds weren't even an option then and the sub factory location was in the OB... gotta love change from learning what the consumer wants. Glad you got to see your boat getting built and the quality and labor love that goes into these things. Do you have pics of yours when it started out as a fiberglass shell and through the painting process? They sent me those pics, but the production wasn't as busy as it is now either.

I absolutely loved seeing the boat on the production line! We toured the factory last summer before I went back to work in Alaska and fell in love with the people and the process. We were hooked! And buying made in the USA made us feel good! And buying made in TN was even better! I guess it takes about 3 days for the boat to go through the line and I would have been there everyday of it if I could have. Unfortunately I have to work to pay for this baby and could only make it home in time from Alaska for the final day on the line. What a treat though! I hope we can get delivery next week. We are super excited and can't wait to get on the lake! I am obviously a new owner to a boat like this and reading these forums to educate myself has been great! Everyone has been very helpful and thanks to all of you!!

Nice looking rig. Post pics when you get her out on the water!
