someones thoughts on boats
I've said it before and will say it again I'm a DD fan and a waterskier. What I'd be leary of in this whole deal is as much as some people like these AXIS boats (and I'm not one who likes them) I'm going to watch over the next few years to see how they hold their value? Of course I will do this strictly out of curiousity but I really don't think the AXIS boats are going to stay in great shape. I don't think they are built as well as other boats. From the few I have seen on the lakes we frequent out here................I'm not too impressed.
I will keep my Outback DD any day!2014 Centurion Carbon Pro

The quality of Axis boats is not higher than Moomba.
They are made in the same factory using the same materials as Malibu.
They are designed to be simple to keep costs low. That's perfect for me because I dont want to pay for fancy touch screens and crap.Last edited by DOCDRS; 09-17-2011 at 12:24 PM. Reason: no factual evidence

If the Malibu is your comparison then get a Malibu. How anybody can compare one boat to another without statistical data is beyond me. The only stuff I find on the internet is void of the word "Axis."

Axis has never claimed to be a crossover boat. If you went to their website you'll see that they claim the exact opposite. They are a hardcore wakeboard/wakesurf/wakeskate boat.

yes and no
my LSV is a 2008 and there is a noticeable difference in the axis, a friend of mine has a 2011 LSV and is pretty much the same as mine and there is a noticeable difference in the axis to me anyways.
Now i will say that the drivers seat on my LSV is WAY nicer than the drivers seat on an axis but the axis platform is alot more solid and as is the tower and it came pre wired for tower speakers and had an amp board already installed for aftermarket amps, also has a batcave for a glove box with i really like but i think from pics of the MOJO it too has a batcave of a glove box.
speaking of which, when are they going to release technical stats on the mojo??David
