New Lime Green LSV

[Cory]

The rear bench looks more akin to the MXZ (side cup holders and engine vent under the center step). Initially I figured it was a pre-production model and they hadn't yet cut out the corner vents, but the MXZs don't have side vents and that step clearly has a vent under it.

The rear benches look slightly narrower than the 2014 LSV, so I'm guessing they didn't increase the beam (perhaps more of a hope) to 102".

If you look closely at the picture of the "LSV" you will notice the tower speakers are different. Can anyone identify them?

Tower speakers look like they are wetsounds. If you look closely you can see the wet sounds grill that is on the rev8 and rev10.

All these leaky boats. Definitely WetSounds.

Glad mines a 14.

That's the new axis tower?

[pook77]

Could be.

IMO - No one has even come close to the biggest change....

Not one single mention of it.

I think I know the change you are referring too...and I don't like it...

[ndahlberg12]

Hope it flows with the design of the rest of the boat cause from those pics I don't like it

I don't like the front where it folds. Looks like the mount point should be forward an inch or two. I think the slope of the bottom mount will go nice with the flare on the back of the hull. The rub rail has chrome on it now. I don't like that either.

Just reversed

It's an improvement over the current axis tower, but not what I'd want to see on a malibu.<br /><br /><br />Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'd rather see the old tower, or turn it around.

Based on thtrog, I would bet that the vlx display will be bigger so that it shows all guages at once. Current display can't do that unless it gets bigger. I say around 7-9 inches. Mc already 7 inches and Malibu will want to go bigger.

The g4 tower looks like it has a cover on it. Maybe covering it from photos. based on discussion in g4 tower thread, I am betting that it is all brushed aluminium.

that Axis tower is hideous....even more ugly than the previous one...

and whats with the guy walking towards the boat? his left leg doesn't look right....no toes and kind of skinny...like an amputee.

[hunter77ah]

The tower is definitely further back on the boat....

New plate/wedge system??

Those pics don't even come close to doing the new design justice. It looks a lot better than those pics depict...which is precisely why manufacturers hate "leaks".

Not saying I don't like the tower but...... are you suggesting that this particular tower needs to be photographed at a specific angle or in a certain light to show its true beauty??

[boardjnky4]

It's all about context. It looks better when you can see the big picture of the tower with the lines of the boat and everything.

no more cool bottle opener / mirror mount? But I like the way it looks.

So, I'm reading conflicting info about the G4 tower. Is it a premium $$$ upgrade option over the G3 tower, or is it a less expensive option over the G3 tower?

Can my PTM mirror arm act as a bottle opener???

I was talking about the Axis tower mirror mount.

Ok. This thread has become muddled with info about the 2015 axis line and the 2015 "LSV".

[NorrisMike]

I get it. The axis tower might not look as good on any other boat than another axis. The hard lines compliment each other.
