Well the time has come to start putting together our T22 order. Our A22 has been awesome but the new axis boats have some of the options we've been wanting. Seeking opinions on must have options or things you have but don't use.

We will be ordering the 350 with pnp ballast. Probably 1100s and whatever the bow ballast is. Looking at adding lead to the bow as well. I am tired of having a 750 in the cabin and a 350 on top of the bow. Below is our color scheme we are kicking around. Probably change the black tower to white.

I'd throw some color in that gel coat. While white is very standard, make that thing yours. Wake boats are supposed to stand out a little bit.

Looks good. White tower for sure. I run 750s in the rear and have a very nice wave. I think 900s would be good, but 1100s will be overkill.

I tend to agree but the wif and I both want to go for a ghosted theme. We are going to go with a white tower as well. This will be our 3rd boat in 5 years and honestly it will probably be a 2 to 3 year boat. White boats are extremely popular here as our summers tend to be very freakin hot and the sun is out for 14+ hours a day.

Nothing wrong with mostly white. I love the clean look of white boats. I'd even opt for a white tower, and tricked out white trailer...

Thanks for the pic. We are going to have a little bit of moonbeam on the hull as well. Just to give it a little bit of depth. I love the all white but the CEO wants what she wants

How do people get new boats every 2-3 years? Do you trade in or sell your old boats?

Everyone's situation is different but I can explain ours. We are lucky enough to be good friends with the sales manager at our dealership. This will be the third boat we have bought from them in 5 years. They have been very aggressive on our trade ins but they know they are getting a boat that was well taken care of. I won't say we break even because we definitely do not. However it is worth it to us to upgrade every 2 to 3 years and enjoy the newest technology. Luckily we can afford this luxury and the dealer gets to make a profit. They are much more motivated to take care of us that way.
