I'm not in the in-circle. How does this have to do with Malibu? Is this a division of them? I wouldn't want to be starting a boat company right now.

looks like they took the squareness of a tige and the picklefork of a mastercraft, but still looks like a sick boat and the price tag is a smart move in this economy. i dont like the tower that much but malibu is still my favorite boat company Cool

I think the market that would buy a more economy-minded boat has been taken away in the last few months. The vast majority can either afford a nice, expensive boat, or no boat at all.

Jama- Axis is sort of a redheaded step child type of offshoot from Malibu. It's aimed at the 'budget' end of things so it'll be comparable to Moomba/Supra/Centurion etc. That picklefork design is something that Malibu would NEVER do, hence the redheaded stepchild comment. Also, for awhile there's been a lot of murky explanations as to what is actually going on with this (at least with my contacts there are/were, which is reflected in my posts on that thread that was linked in the original post).

IMO- It looks like someone gave an outside design team access to all of Malibu's resources to see what they could come up with. I'm not a fan of the styling, but based on what you're gonna get for ~$40K, I'm sure they'll sell pretty well once the economy turns around a bit.

If the knoxville guys are so good, why are the first molds of this thing being done at the merced plant?

ya know after thinking about the function of the winshield (for a smoker) it could actually be pretty handy. Shocked

Their website is about as entertaining as the boat. I was wondering what motor was in it? PCM, Indmar etc.. What kind of resale value would this gem bring?
The saying goes, you get what you pay for. I would look around before laying down the coin for this AXIS. Base is 39,900, pictured is 44,000? They must be charging you 4000.00 for a tower.
Basic boat, stripped = 39,000. I bet the trailer is 5,000.
