Axis Wakeboard Boat Forum

I was in the boat on the dealership floor. Was absolutely blown away. I loved the fact the storage areas had more of a Malibu carpeted look. The boat just felt great. I am coming off a 2003 SANTE


So on to some questions.

What's the wakeboard wake and surf wake like. I have read it surfs better than the A22, but how does the wakeboard wake stack up? We all surf goofy.

How does the boat ride in chop compared to the A22? Is it more of a deeper v? The A22 when loaded with the plug and play sits a little low in the nose at idle. Obviously I am driving a 2003 SANTE so i am not riding much higher, but every a22 I have been on had low riding nose. My other concern is without the playpen style of the A22 I am going to need to have a sac in the walkway to compensate for the lack of a hidden mushroom sac. Kind of defeats the purpose then a bit, but if the traditional bow sits higher like it seems in pics and from the inside that would be good trade off.

I will be test driving obviously, but it's going to be another month or so. Looking to make a list of about 3 boats. MB is on it as a dealership just opened but from what I read the MB wake below 20mph isn't so good. I have lots of people I pull that are newbs so it's a small knock, but in the end it's a boat for me.

T22 has a hidden bow sack under the front cushions. It will sit a couple/few inches higher in the water than A22 due to its extra beam and freeboard. The wakeboard wake is very good and I'm sure will satisfy wakeboarders who get paid for a living. The MB 23 TWB wakeboard wake will not clean up until 23mph. The MB F21 will clean up a bit sooner. I have no experience with the new F22 model.

Thanks Aj . I am assuming the sac under there is basically an IBS sac which doesn't give you near the mushroom sac weight. Salesman couldn't give me the weight of it

I would try it first with the factory setup it's great! You might not even fill the pnp sacs because the wake is that good, we only fill the sacs for surfing.

The wake is very similar to an A22 which is assume!!

Wetted surface of the T22 hull is almost the exact same as the A22. They do ride similar (although the T does sit a little higher and is dryer).
I've surfed both (w/ surfgate) and they are very comparable in wake. I have not wakeboarded behind either.
T22 Plug n play bow bag fills to within 50lbs of the A22 bow bag. That's actual weight vs rated weight (much higher).
