Axis Wakeboard Boat Forum

I am buying a 2014 t22 and will be prolly 75% wakesurfing. I am a good to average wakeboarder but not really looking to go extreme if you know what I mean.
Which factory prop should I go with for that boat with the surfgate and wedge down. I would like to load it down to get the best wave out back to surf on and if we decide to wakeboard just dump some of the ballast to get on plane if needed.
Like I said I really dont care about a perfect wakeboarding wake as much as I do a lippy wakesurf one.

Thanks
and factory options are
Cnc Nibral 4blade 13.5x16
high alt 14.25x14.5
Torque 15x25
5 blade cinco ....(im leaning toward this one)

I honestly think the 5 blade will do what you want, however I would opt for the Torque prop unless you on a huge lake where you drive for days to get where you ride.

2315 torque prop IMO

these 3 will all do what you are describing…. Acme 1235 (high alt 14.25 x 14.5) OJ Cinco 5 blade and the Acme 2315 torque prop.

Like DTB asked, how much "cruising" will you be doing? will you have a long ride to your riding spot, like more than 10 minutes each direction? Will you be doing a lot of chilling at the beach or coves and then going out riding with very little high speed cruising?

My suggestion is the Acme 1235 for probably the best all around prop. You can load the boat up and it will do great, still has a decent top speed, and is been proven over and over again to match up well with malibu/axis boats.

If you will be doing what I do which is dropping in, idling to the dock 300 feet away, then loading up the boat and riding, then go with the 2315 15 x 12 as you will never need another prop after this. When I go to big lakes, lake havasu in Arizona or Don Pedro in California, i throw on my OJ Cinco due to more cruising and longer boat rides...

What are the factory prices? If you can get any of the props without a upgrade price then I would get a 1235 with the boat. Then down the road if you find you need more low end... buy a 2315 torque prop. then keep the 1235 for a spare.

The first level prop from the factory I do not recommend. If that is the 537 or the 19XX Acme those are not good when you add in weight.

I am not too concerned with cost...I just want the best prop for wakesurfing. ..I will more than likely use stock ballasts and add two 750s in the rear boxes and possibly one up front but don't plan on slamming like some others do
Is there one prop that makes the wake lippy?

The prop will not affect the shape of your wake, that's all about how much and where you place your weight. The wedge should make the wake more lippy too

I would skip the first level prop from the factory. That seems to be the first thing changed on every Axis I have seen in and out of the dealership I work with. Go with the 1235 to start. then buy a 2315. Keep the 1235 for those weekends when you ding your 2315. That way at least you can still wakeboard and surf with a loaded down boat using the 1235 while your 2315 is in the shop.

Nothing worse than dinging a prop on Saturday afternoon and all the dealership are closed.

Love my 1235 for wakesurfing on the a22. Running surfgate, wedge, and >4k weight.

This weekend I'll actually be loading up my T22 with ballast and people and comparing the hi alt and the torque props. I'll respond with my findings this weekend.
