Axis Wakeboard Boat Forum

anybody ever heard of or seen one of these? they look pretty sick, hand crafted aluminum bodys, and now they make a wakeboard boat. if i was a rich man i might would have it just to have. kinda remind me of the all aluminum shelby's. I couldn't find a price but i know there little fishing boats are like 15,000

Just from a print ad in wakeboard mag. With all the great boat companies already in the wakeboard market it would be hard for me to even consider a new brand. I would need to see more in depth info and hear from some owners.

HAHA thats the same place i saw it too which mag? it was either in transworld or wake journal i can't remember. yeah i wouldn't want one to use i would want it like a show piece, the finished aluminum with a clear coat to protect metal. come to think about it i guess i would want two the collectable one ( bare aluminum) and a production one that you could actually use. Ofcourse this is if i was a rich man

They have been in the works for quite some time. They are unique, I will give them that. Price is a bit more than what you would think; however, the boat is really hand built. Not defending their concept but they are not spraying resin and laying fiberglass into a mold.

That being said I called them. I believe the person was shocked someone called and asked about their product. He was excited about the product; furthermore, he hinted towards a SAN & Malibu type surf system they will be using next year. Reported it will be the best ever. As of right now they are currently using gates for ballast. Those are the epic type systems that are gravity fed. A left and right tank running from bow to stern located furthest to each port and starboard sides.

The sales person reported they are not signing up any new dealers because their production is not as fast as sales. He was a bit hesitant with knowledge of their product. The 22 and 26ft models are not designed yet. It is a projected model. The 24ft model has a base msrp of 100k extending to 140k. Motor options are Indmar LS3 or the supercharged motor. Both of which are fresh water cooled.

Hope this helps anyone digging for facts.

They have a bunch of videos up. I like the seamless look from the side, but with my trailer loading skills I know where the first scuffs would be. If it performed well I'd go with an aluminum boat.


About 2:23 of this video they have the boat on the trailer and I find it interesting that all the bunks are towards the rear. I wonder if that reflects that it is more stern heavy than the average boat. The rear end is interesting. I'm surprised they would put in a seat there with CO concerns. The steps seem a bit shallow as well. It seems that with the design they loose a bit of real estate at the back of the boat.

This one has some wake shots and a close up on the dash. Front seats seem to be a bit on the shallow side for me. It's good to see someone trying something different and innovative. I like that they've gone with the pure vert type ballast. It'll be interestin to see what version 2 of their design brings (like swivel racks ).
