Agree with boardjnky. You can save a little money by going with fixed racks. I personally couldn't justify paying any more for racks (fixed racks are already pricey), but considering swivel racks on my next Axis. Hearing music while wakeboarding is important to me, so SP3 is a must. If I was more savvy with audio installs I would probably try to save money and just do it myself.
I think the more expensive options are SP3, Z5 bimini, tricked out trailer, tricked out gel scheme. Also, if you tow a lot you may want to add the spare tire option.
Is the Sound Package 3 worth it to add it into the boat price or should i buy it seperate so i dont pay interest on it from the boat loan?
Is the z5 bimini worth the upgrade over the regular bimini?
It really just depends on preference, what your interest rate is, and what you're comfortable with. I actually preferred to have it rolled into the loan (very low APR) so I didn't have to pay more out of pocket on top of down payment, sales tax, etc. It's also nice having everything ready to go from the factory saving some hassle later on. I don't have an audio shop near me that I would trust with my brand new boat.
As for the Z5, it looks amazing and is very functional, but pricey. Standard bimini is fine by me especially since the new '15 bimini has surf straps and rope storage. I don't necessarily agree with the second fin from what I have researched and heard from other Axis owners. Does it help handling? Of course, but may not be needed depending on how you use your boat and where you ride. My answer would change if you were looking at an A24 though.
