Got my 2015 A20 ordered and is due to be built the first week of March. Hoping to get it bumped a week or 2. Hoping to go down the last week in February and do a plant tour. Would love to be able to see ours being built that week. Flip side black metallic and Black with midnight blue interior pieces. Having the dealer install polk speakers and sub. Going to wait on tower speakers until next year. Probably get some custom AXIS decals made with some blue in them to tie the exterior with the interior. Can't wait.

Congrats! We've been pricing out ordering one as well with these boat show discounts. What options did you pick? I'm trying to decide if all are worth it/needed.

Congrats, loved my black A22 and the new metal flake in black is really sweet (didn't have that back in 2011). I see you chose the tower mirror. Just saying but several people have ordered or bought their Axis with and didn't like it as much as the standard windshield mirror. Everyone is different though, it's just an expensive option for as simple as it is with saying it has a bottle opener and gives you a sore neck and less range of vision than the windshield mirror. Just food for thought if you wanted to exchange it for maybe docking lights under the bow if you come in to the ramp or dock at night which are very useful. Congrats again.

We loaded it up pretty good, Sea strainer, flush kit, heater, docking lights, underseat lighting, just did stereo pack one but having dealer do the rest of the speakers as I prefer Polk, spinner racks, Tower Mirror (we will have to see how well it works), plug and play, wakesurf and wedge, depth finder, bolster seat, chilax seat, cooler, stainless cup holders, carpet dual batteries, cleats, pylon, cover, bimini. Only missed a couple of options.

I used have have Supra's and then I let my wife talk me into a Pontoon, which having the room was nice and I had a tower and stuff to board with it but I missed the Ski Boat and finally talked her into going back (half talked into anyway). When we started looking we couldn't believe the pricing on Supra's and also they don't make one small enough for the Lake I live on so we started looking around and came across Axis, loved it and the price was better, still more then I thought I would spend but after seeing 100k boats this almost seemed like a bargain.

Boat looks awesome! I love the black and metallic!

Have to say though ... we had the windshield PTM mirror and hated it ... ordered the tower arm and not in love with it! AJ: Perhaps it's an adjustment in the mirror angle? We can't see over the windshield (T22) while surfing, so often stand with our back against the tower with one knee on the seat. Docking lights are great too AJ! Install your own interior LEDs and transom LEDs (white sucks). The stainless cup holders are a lot cheaper to buy online too! Dual battery and cleats are a must too.

I've never used the PTM windshield mount, just the good ol' factory one and it works very well. Just mount it dead center on the center windshield, turn the driver's seat 45 degrees and you can relax and watch your rider with ease. Had many wakeboats that came with tower arm mirrors and all I ever got was a sore neck. That's why you'll see Axis tower mirrors for sale on here from time to time...a lit of people just do not like them. I can't see spending $300-$400 on a PTM mirror when I wanted a much better steering wheel. The Axis steering wheel does have a golf cart look to it.

The steering wheel definitely didn't do much for me. I have a really sharp flat bottom wheel one I bought for my pontoon and kept when trading it, that I am hoping can mount up on the Axis.

The Mirror is costing us $258. It doesn't say PTM on my buyers order but Cipa Tower Mount Mirror. Wasn't sure if it is the same one or not.

I have the factory window mount in the center on my 2014 A22. I like my view from it. It is easy to see surfer, boarder, skier, or tuber. But I also hate it because people keep opening the window to crawl thru to the front and then they leave the window open and I have to get up and close it so I can see. I realize it is open right after I hear the words "HIT IT" and throttle up.

I plan to add a tower-mounted mirror this year. I am getting nervous about the change after reading the comments in this thread.

I have a trade involved and I know approx. what it is worth so between what they knocked off the price and over allowed on my trade to show it paid off to the bank I figure about 12k or a little more came off the total. They will put my trade on the lot for less then what they are showing me. Having an idea what the invoice price on A20 they are making about 5-6k off of me. That is more then reasonable I feel on something in this price range.
