I don't think Axis has gotten to the point of having specific hulls yet...i.e. Wake or surf. However, Malibu has or had the diamond hull and a wake hull and they were definitely different AND available on the same model.


Yes that's correct but like you said it is an advertised difference. Maybe we'll see different hulls across models at some point, but I think it's actually unlikely for the budget boat lineup. Again, the hull molds are VERY expensive.

bdheinr....good to know. Where are you located just as an FYI. Pretty cool of the dealer to set that up, but I guess with you on your 3rd boat already they better show you some love!

Another boat question I thought of.....did the hull change from 2014 to 2015 T22? On TMC under the resources it says the 2014 T22 had a Wake/Surf hull and the 2015 T22 has just the Wake hull. Is that correct or a typo or what?

It's about 5.5" tall x 13" long and was $20. I also got a pair of smaller ones made (4"x9") and those were $15/each.

Question about ballast bags as I'm shopping now since we are picking up the boat on Monday.

Do we get a forum discount for boardstop.com?

Lots of options. I have a W707 in my basement from my previous boat.....anyone know if the fittings are the same/would work? Might save me some cash.

Options I've found are from the following websites - boardstop.com and wakemakers.com

My problem is there is a bunch of varying info as to which bags work/don't work and sometimes it's conflicting even on the same website!

From boardstop.com I see these options but prices vary between what appears to be identical product.....Why?

Straight Line Sumo PACKAGE deal - $650 - http://www.boardstop.com/product_info.p ... VdaqflVhBc
Straight Line Sumo bags SEPARATE but for less. If I buy 1 bow and 2 rear sacks it's $540 - http://www.boardstop.com/product_info.p ... Vda1_lVhBc & http://www.boardstop.com/product_info.p ... cts_id=695.

What am I missing? From reading it appears the package includes a few fittings but do they really cost $110 or is there something else?
Plus the bow bag in the package deal doesn't appear correct for the T22 bow setup so I don't think I'd get full advantage of it even.

Wakemakers.com has the same 3 separate bags for the same price but I have 10% off there so that drops the price to $486, not bad!

Same website but for FlyHigh bags....

Package deal for $670, so not much more but only 750lbs in rear instead of 900's - http://www.boardstop.com/product_info.p ... ts_id=6933
And for the bags separate - $170 for the rear sacks - http://www.boardstop.com/product_info.p ... ts_id=6682
and either $190 for this bow sack - http://www.boardstop.com/product_info.p ... ts_id=1065
or $320 for the model specific bow sack - http://www.boardstop.com/product_info.p ... ts_id=6931
for a total of $530-$660. But either way both still cheaper than just buying the package deal.

What gives?

Wakemakers.com has the rear sacks for $180/each and same bow sack for $190 so that's $550 less the 10% discount I have brings it to $495.

Is there any difference between Flyhigh and Straightline? Looks are subjective and I could care less, they will be hidden under seats anyways. I am worried about performance/durability but that's it. I only have a Flyhigh 750lb now because a buddy of mine was selling it super cheaper a couple years ago so I bought it to try it out on my older DD Malibu. Has worked fine.

Sorry for the long winded post, I'd like to get the best bang for the buck and keep it easy so I can enjoy time on the water and continue shopping for other boat necessities?

-Matt

Boardstop is very comparable to wakemakers and boardstop pretty much runs this boards.I have ordered from both and both are great. Spencer at wakemakers is great to deal as is Ed (I think that is his name). You can't go wrong either way. I think the differences are in the drain holes and size of the holes in general. If you have a +2012 then you need the 1"1/8" holes. My suggestion, I would call boardstop and talk to them since the owner is an Axis dealer. He will get you hooked up with what is best for your boat.
