Well, the kids said their goodbyes last night to the Yamaha, they even wanted to take one pretending to cry. We will miss the boat, it served us well with no issues. It was the perfect boat for us while the kids were little, nothing beats having a porta potty on board with young kids. With the kids starting to get serious about wakeboarding and our desire to surf, we placed an order for a 2018 Axis A24 last week.IMG_3052-1.jpeg IMG_3067.jpeg
 
Nice upgrade incoming!

What made you pick Axis over others? I'm hoping this time next year i'll be able to upgrade into a surf boat as well.
 
For us, it has everything we wanted and was 20-30k cheaper than a 24' Malibu. For the 2018 A24, they added the ability to add the power wedge with surfband. Add that with surf gate, factory ballast and the plug n play ballast, it creates a great wakeboard wake and a huge surf wave.
 
Congrats on the new boat incoming! I bet you are going to love it! Axis seems to really be stepping up their game the past couple years. A24 is a beast!
