Axis Wakeboard Boat Forum

I was perusing wakeworld just now and noticed a thread in which someone mentioned a company near Murfreesboro, TN that I ordered a teak platform from years and years ago. The name of the company is Teak World http://teakworldenterprises.samsbiz.com/ I decided to call the owner and talk shop with him for a bit. He said that he is still making swim platforms for boats, and that he'd make anything for any boat. He said that a standard sized platform for like a smaller ski boat was like $450, and a larger one was $500. The price obviously changes somewhat on what you want, but it was way less than I anticipated. Well, that got me thinking. I've got my old pre-redesigned swim platform off of my '11 A22 in my garage taking up space. I live in Chattanooga, which isn't all that for from this guy's shop. He could use the old platform as a template for building one.

Anywho, I know that there are people on here who have pre '12 A20s and A22s, who are considering doing something to alter their pre-redesign platforms, but don't want to spend $1400 on a new fiberglass one. Well, if anyone wants to take the initiative to call Teak World and work out a deal with the owner to get one built, I'd be glad to lend out my old platform to help get you a new one made. If no one is interested in this, that's cool, I just thought I'd lay this out there.

I just dropped some coinage in some new goodies, surf board, rope, dripless seal, prop, bags, etc. I think the wifey would flip a lid if I did anything soon, but I am sorta interested in a years time, maybe less

Old school teak would be interesting to see on an Axis. I think it may look a little "off" considering the contemporary design of the Axis but it is definitely worth a look at. Thanks for your work in scouting this out. I found a company in Houston that would do it but never followed up with pricing. Already upgraded my platform right at $1000.

Thats cool of you to offer up yours to help get the ball rolling. When there was a thread on this subject several months ago there were several pages of owners interested in a newer designed platform at a lower cost through a reproduction company. However its a little early in the season for my area. Our lake doesnt even have the docks put in yet!

Thanks for the heads-up, Chatt. I know a guy who does a lot of glass work, been thinking about having him take a look at modifying mine, but this may be a better option. Will try to give them a call in the coming days.

I personally love the look of teak, so if it is done right, I think it could look really good on an Axis.

How nobody with the old platform has not jumped on this is beyond me. Hahaha. Oh well.

Dude, I'm all about it. Just no dough to throw down on one currently.

Dude... I'm in the same boat
