Love the AXIS A22 but wish it was tricked out with a ~2X price tag:

The more I look at it, Im not thrilled with some design differences from the AXIS. The area where I step on the gunawal to get in on the front have been "sculpted" to a point. The tower blocks the other typical step in spot in the back.

Not a fan. The Axis looks angular and chiseled. While Malibu softened up a lot of the lines, the bow is still quite chiseled. The lines of the boat don't really flow that well. But it does make sense from the perspective of utilization of the lower mold. I would guess they probably are going to try to start making the Axis in other plants, and using the molds for other applications probably helps justify the investment to do so.

I have heard 90k for this boat from multiple sources. Which makes it more than a 23 LSV.

i agree king, the lines from the rear do not seem to match up with the bow, or maybe its just an illusion due to the crappy gel scheme lines, they make the bow look like it was taken off another boat and glued to the back of a vlx.

It also appears that they made the bow real big and the cabin small like the xstar is.

I would like to see it in person and with different gel schemes, but right now it looks poor. the moomba mojo looks more like a malibu than this does.

We have a couple 2012 VLX's that have an MSRP of 6 figures. I figure you will be able to get into them for a little bit more then a loaded VLX which sounds right to me?
