Axis Wake Research A22: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The Malibu AXIS A22 presents an affordable option for wakeboarding enthusiasts seeking a quality watercraft experience without a premium price tag. Designed with practical features and thoughtful engineering, this boat aims to deliver solid performance and comfort for wake sports.
Exterior Design and Deck Features
At the aft of the boat, the sun pad spans 77 and a half inches in width and 40 inches in depth, providing ample space for relaxation. Beneath this sun pad lies convenient storage that can be removed to access the 335-horsepower Inmar engine. While the engine compartment is a tight fit, daily maintenance checks such as dipstick and coolant inspections are easily performed, and side bulkheads can be removed for oil changes. Boarding is facilitated via the swim platform, which measures 66 inches across and 24.5 inches front to back, allowing passengers to step over the sun pad and onto the upholstery comfortably. The boat features a cast aluminum wakeboard tower equipped with four MTX speakers, angled backward with the wakeboard tow point mounted 86 inches above the deck. Non-skid surfaces on the cap rails enhance safety when boarding from the dock.
Cockpit and Seating Arrangement
The cockpit seating wraps fully around, offering a spacious 44-inch distance from seat to seat, with seat widths and backs each measuring 17 and a half inches. Storage compartments are easily accessible beneath all seats, complemented by six stainless steel drink holders for convenience. The observer seat on the lounger provides comfort, but the most favored seating is the observer seat adjacent to the operator. The helm seat is designed for comfort and security, featuring a complete wraparound that ensures the operator feels locked into position. Controls include rocker switches on both port and starboard sides, and a stereo system with a CD player is conveniently located at the helm, eliminating the need for a remote.
Ballast and Performance Features
Central to the boat’s wake performance is a 900-pound 'fat sack' ballast tank located midship. For enhanced wake customization, the boat is pre-plumbed to accommodate additional ballast tanks—two in the stern and two in the bow—allowing for a plug-and-play installation. The cruise control system enables the operator to maintain a steady speed, with an additional switch allowing for incremental speed adjustments to optimize the experience for the person being towed. The running gear includes a 14-inch propeller positioned behind an 8-inch rudder tapering to 5 inches. Notably, the propeller’s rough finish improves efficiency by allowing water to run off more effectively than a polished surface would.
Conclusion
The Malibu AXIS A22 offers a well-rounded, cost-effective solution for wakeboarding enthusiasts. Its combination of thoughtful design, comfortable seating, practical storage, and performance-oriented features make it a compelling choice for those seeking to enjoy wake sports without the expense of higher-end models.
