Axis Wakeboard Boat Forum

Thank you to Ed and his son for taking me out yesterday on his quicksilver wrapped A22. It was such a great day on elsinore. It was the first time I rode behind the A22 with extra weight and I was extremely impressed.

I demoed a 2010 a22 a year ago, we had 5 guys, the wedge and stock (900) ballast filled. We rode elsinore and the wake, although nicely shaped, was disappointingly small. I knew what the wake COULD be if weighted well, but it was still a shock to me that it was so small.

After riding yesterday with Ed, I am excited again because now I know that my ballast/lead plans will produce the great wake that I was expecting. Ed had the 400's in the rear and they were maybe 1/4 full, 2 adults, a full tank, wedge, and bow sack half full. I could not believe how big and thick that wake was.

So thanks again Ed, we will have to do it again sometime SOON. I am crazy sore though, I guess I need to ride more than once every 6 weeks

No problem John, we had a good time and will go out again soon! Its tough when you are the only boat on the lake...haha!

The wake is great and easy to manage on the Axis.

I am pretty sore myself!

The Axis wake with the plug and play is just phenomenal!!!

I actually put the 1100 s in the back instead of the 400 s.and put one of the 400 s in the bow in addition to the front pp sack. IT IS AWESOME !

Where can you get lead. You say you had ballast and Lead...I want to add more weight to my Axis. Thoughts?

I had over #2000's of pop-product bags (steel, not lead) and some lead bricks too in my previous boat. I sold all of it because I am going with a new product that a neighbor/friend has. He has #50 bags of lead, double or triple sealed and padded in triple stitched bags with a handle. They weigh 10 lbs more than pop-product bags and are almost half the size. I plan on putting 8-10 of these in the bow. That is all the lead I will do, the rest of my ballast will be the stock tanks and plug n play bags... (750's in the rear lockers).

I can get you his info, I am vapor-locking on the website name, but will post it when I remember. He is out of canyon lake, ca.

I am thinking of swapping out our 400s for 750s. For those of you that have done this does the boat have trouble planing out when using the wedge?

Wait, Johnny...yes, I am interested if you you remember the website.

Also, there are 750's for the back now with the PnP?

Ive been a little out of the loop the last 6 months, but if you guys can post that info, I would greatly appreciate it

okay. the company is Lead-Wake... can't find a website. Their info is in a lot of wakeworld forums, but I speak with the guy almost daily. I can get you his info if you want it.

yes, 400's, 750's, 1100's... you can put whatever you want back there I suppose.
