2018 Axis Wake Research T23

2018 Axis Wake Research T23

The new 2018 Axis T23 features innovative styling and numerous cabin upgrades for even more comfort and convenience. Plus, for the first time ever, Power Wedge II is available for all 2018 Axis boats. Handcrafted by Malibu Boats on American soil in Loudon, Tenn., Axis towboats deliver cutting-edge technology and impeccable engineering. The 16-seat, traditional-bow T23 boasts precise handling and agility, along with new soft grip flooring on the deck, swim board and transom step mats. For 2018, the T23 also has new bungie tower racks and optional PTM clamping board racks.

The 2018 Axis T22 and T23 models underscore the brand’s renowned value by adding the Power Wedge II as an available option for the first time on all 2018 Axis boats as part of the Performance Surf Package™ (P.S.P.), which also includes Surf Gate™ and Surf Band™. P.S.P. is a comprehensive system of wake and wave-making technologies that enables customers to adjust the size, length and shape of the wakeboard wake and surf wave for each rider with the touch of a button.

Features may include:

Our first Axis with a traditional bow design, the T23 is anything but old school with room for up to 16 people.

Our patented FibECS chassis and eight-layer lamination process provide maximum durability and ensures a smooth, solid ride on the water.

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.

We use gorilla fins with 120 square inches of surface area; not only is the size important but the placement on our models maximizes tracking ability and handles quicker than others.

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.

From stowed to deployed, the Auto-Set Wedge creates a bigger wake by pulling the back of the boat down, producing the equivalent of 1,000 lbs of ballast.

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.
