Axis Wakeboard Boat Forum

At double the price of course...

Check out the all new 2012 xstar..

First it was the plug and play..

Now they've captured all the wonders of the innovative seating from axis. Sure in a more expensive implementation, but not much difference in function.

Hats off to Axis for their innovation here. When the big dogs copy you.. folks are noticing.

I think alot of the features on it are really cool and probably is neat to use but it probably cost as much as my house! Really is only necessary for someone who has just won the lottery or just has a money tree growing in their back yard!!..... I'll keep my axis, im not really into too much electronic gadgets that will break the bank when they fail. Just my opinion though. Hats off to axis....keep it simple

z= I will have to disagree with you about the imitation. Moomba had the skybox slide seat years before axis was out. Plug n play was used by both MC and malibu (yes, malibu= axis) and I think a few others, and finally the chillax seats, imo, were taken from supra and nautiques interior set ups, even though axis seats are the first one in that location.

with all that said, only one boat has put all these "rider" focused designs into one boat, with a hellofa wake, for a great price... and thats why I think Axis is the best.

walter, looks like the new xstar and the axis are polar opposites... axis is simple, the xstar complex, axis has only what is needed, xstar has a bunch of crap, axis has a small price tag $50k, the new xstar....$150k??? not so much I assume.

I read on mc team talk all the mc guys raving about the interior seating. How great it is. But like Z said, its very similar to the axis, just more complicated. I do love how that rear seat flips over with a pull of a handle, and has a back to it like the nautiques.

I'm already paranoid about things trying to keep my boat as 'new' as possible. Bad enough that sometimes I'm thinking about what's ahead of the driver while i'm boarding. I'm betting that Mastercraft is 120+ with options. I'd worry myself to death with it, but those who can afford it- can pay for uh-oh's.
I'm the type to do it yourself and Axis makes it EASY. Everything is accessible if you wanted to put in stereo upgrades, leds, ...whatever! I disliked this on my Supra as it was a pain to do anything.
I'll keep my Axis and be happy!
