2016 model axis boats

Makes me love my 15 dash even more

[teamerickson]

The new dash isn't the most attractive. Makes my decision about ordering a '16 vs. an existing '15 a little more difficult. It doesn't seem like I will get much for the price increase.

5 year warranty?

5 year warranty?

[FarmerB]

That is a great point. That could pay for itself in years 4 and 5.

Seriously, that is a terrible looking dash design.... its about as cheap as you could possibly make it look. Why cant they add some stainless to dress it up a little? Like Moomba does with there boats?

I agree! Another flop indeed... For some reason it reminds me of an old third gen iROC-Z dash... Maybe all the cheap plastic and lame steering wheel... Does the new Axis also have a cassette tape player?

That Axis dash looks like the what was in my Maverick UTV. $70K and you get that? Hope it is better in person.

Honestly, I think my 12' dash with the rocker switches looks the best out of the all the newer years.

The windshield posts look great though! I wonder if I can have them powder coated white and retrofitted to mine?

My only complaint about the 15'+ towers are the top tube looks unfinished with the top of the side panels. Also the Bimini.

I'd say so! Better dash, switches, more electronic functions, head unit, oh and look at the steering wheel!!

Yep, rocker switches are my preferred look as well. Nice to have been able to swap out an ACC rocker switch (on/off only) to a new switch that makes the heater look totally stock and gives me the High/low/off options.

IMO it won't be the ugliest dash.

This is!

Had a chance to ride and drive the '16 T22 this afternoon. The dash isn't that bad in person. Not anywhere close to my "07 vRide IMO but not a hideous monstrosity. The heater vent relo is nice. The family (and friends) all loved the boat though.

[FarmerB]

The color scheme was not what I would have picked but looked great when we saw it.

[FarmerB]

The surf wave was awesome for us, especially coming from the vRide.

[That Guy]

Looks nice. What's the setup?

[FarmerB]

Monsoon 350

Torque Prop

Stock tanks full

750's PnP (not completely filled)

Bow sac not completely full

Floating wedge down

[That Guy]

People on boat? Speed? That's a nice looking wave for that setup. Granted I've never looked at the goofy on my boat but I feel like I have more weight to get that wave on the regular side.

[FarmerB]

9 people on the boat. Some were younger kids. 6 "healthy" adults. 11mph. I will try to find a pic of the regular wave. Water depth was 10-18ft.

[That Guy]

Cool, that explains it a little better. My wife was the only person on our T22 so we had to supplement people weight. Glad you had fun!

This is!

This dash looks like something fab'd up in some guy's garage.

No excuse, MC.

[Christoofar]

Oh no! Looks like the 16 did away with the chillax at the bow!? Did they keep the rated capacity at 11, even eliminating the seat? I love having seats/cushions there for seating and storage. Not a fan of the 2016 dash. I do like the ext gel scheme and the cushions on the rear deck. All in all, glad I got a 2015.

Do you have any other interior photos? Observers seat and glove box/dash is of particular interest to me.

The bow seating is the same as the '15 T22. No difference there.

I will look for other pics of the interior and will post. - Found one. You can see the box a little.

Photography makes all the difference

[Ridebutter]

Watching the 2016 A20 release video made me like the dash alot more. I did not like the picture from the manual that was previously released, but this isnt bad. Recessing the gauges will probably help with glare too. Any idea what the cubby could be for next to the radio?
