Axis Wakeboard Boat Forum

Ok guys, I'm not quit part of the club yet but I'm on my way. My wife and I are planning a pre-season order of a 14 A20. This is our first new boat. Help a newbie out, what do we need to know? What should we look out for? What options are musts and what can you live without? Thanks for any input you have to share!

what are your main activities? is your lake clear or dark water. give us a little more insight into you and we can tell you what things are better for you

My wife and I wakeboard and surf and we have 2 young kids who will be learning in a couple years. My parents have a cabin on a super populated small lake in southern MN, but it's 2 1/2 hours away. We have a lot of lakes very close to where we live, so we plan to pull it 35 miles each direction 3-4 times a week and 150 miles each way twice a month. The lakes are very clear and mostly all sand bottom.

I have been skiing and wakeboarding for about 20 years so I'm pretty familiar with boats. This is just the first time I can afford my own! Thanks for any of the advice you all have!
