The Axis A24 can take your crew to a watersports adventure that none will forget. But prepare to be noticed. The A24 gets an all-new side profile for 2018, so it looks sportier than ever. Interior upgrades include a track bench seat to maximize room in this 17-seater. This is our biggest boat, with big storage and a huge 450 lb-ft of torque from the 6-liter Monsoon engine. But it handles like our smaller models. For the first time, we now offer the Power Wedge II as an option. Just push a button to adjust the wake with ease and add an additional 1,500 lbs. of ballast. There’s a wide-open lake just waiting to become your water-sports playground. The Axis A24 is the perfect boat to take you there because Axis is “Centered on you.” A24 WALKTHROUGH For 2018 we’ve made the A24 5” longer, 2” taller, increased ballast, and the added the Power Wedge II. Features may include: FIBECS® Our patented FibECS chassis and eight-layer lamination process provide maximum durability and ensures a smooth, solid ride on the water. ROOM FOR 17 PEOPLE The Axis A24 is a surfing adventure waiting to happen, with room for 17 and the most storage capacity in the Axis lineup. WAKE-PLUS HULL Designed specifically for boarding applications, this hull design allows the boat to sit deeper in the water at slower speeds, helping create more water displacement for a bigger wake at all boarding speeds. GORILLA FINS We use gorilla fins with 120 square inches of surface area; not only is the size important but the placement on our models is much further forward than others. This fin maximizes tracking ability, quicker handling and better control. STRIKING NEW DASH DESIGN A striking new dash design with glowing white 3-in-1 gauges gives the cockpit a classic sporty look. A new panel of soft-key switches puts controls at the driver’s fingertips, and new helm and transom remotes for the audio system let the driver or passengers adjust the music. MULTI-POSITION SLIDING SKYBOX SEAT New for 2018, the optional Multi-Position Sliding SkyBox seat gives your crew the ability to watch all the rider action. The removable back-rest are easily stowed under the swim-deck when not in use. SURF GATE™ Wait until you see how easy it is to turn the wake into an endless, customizable wave for surfing. Push a button to activate Surf Gate™. That’s it. The Surf Gate’s high-speed hydraulic actuators let you quickly shift the wave from side to side. POWER WEDGE II Axis now offers the Power Wedge II as an option. Now, just push a button to adjust the wake with ease and control that competitors can’t match producing the equivalent of 1,500 lbs of ballast.
