    I've recently watched some videos of the Axopar and that thing CARVES and RIPS like crazy!! it's a bit strange looking but at least is has the attitude to back up it's unique looks, unlike that Anthem "thing".

    the only thing i see is they're built to military specs. you can beach it on a rocky beach. other than that, its just ugly because they can get a model with cheeks bared to make it look attractive

    Default anthem boats

    The Normandy style landing ramp is military grade.

    But I will say the speakers look kitty wampum.

    Where is the power tower and Bimini for your $150k?

    With all the other PROVEN offerings for $150k out there you’d have to be a bit of a clown to drop 150 large on this abomination.

    well they have at least 1 in production out there that a dealer bought so there's 1 clown.

    interesting that they sent back to the factory for reconditioning as a 2019 model with 50hrs. not reassuring buying a non-proven boat brand. and marked down quite a bit for a 150k msrp. in the 60's to 80's they likely have a small market but betting everyone thinks if pavati can do it and charge a bunch so can I.

    saw this. interesting front end and deck looks to have a lot of space. 88pcs of gatorstep and it's everywhere. another 150k boat enters the market.

    was intrigued until saw the vid of the surfwake. looks weak and gsa tabs could be a cut waiting to happen when hanging on the swimdeck. pic of wakeboard wake looks quite small as well...
    I have to say the front is kinda cool.. like a marine landing craft waiting to storm the sandbar and the engine looks to be amazingly easy to maintain.
    Looks like it could re-take Omaha Beach

But ours offers......
    I might be missing something. Maybe its lighter to trailer around when ballast empty? What's the hook? You cant just be ugly for the sake of ugly, you have to offer something in return to make it worthwhile.
    I could not have said this better myself. Why in the world would anyone choose this over any other inboard for the same price? I see loads of disadvantages and no advantage. The wake looks really short and weak. It appears they had to slow down drastically to get any surf wake out of the boat. I can't think of another reason the surf wave is so short. The exterior is horrible, the interior appears spartan, and the wake is weak. Maybe it gets better gas mileage? They say the ballast system is a pumpless 3500lb system that fills in 3 min. While that sounds interesting, it will not get anyone to come anywhere near that boat.

    Now that is a good looking and well optioned boat. But never heard of it.
