You might want to ask the people who stated that.

 

 

Oh I don't really care,  was just saying/adding to your point that it is a variable as well.

And your definition of "moderately vs well equipped"

at most dealerships, that's synonymous.

What I meant was, I heard well equipped would push 100k. Which seems crazy to me.

Each region is priced differently, but I would think for around 90k you could get a very well appointed A24.  Even at 90k for a 24'5" boat and what it comes with that is a bargain buy, nothing else even comes close to that price point for what you are getting.  And the boat delivers, superior wake and surf wave.  I got to demo the 2018 A24 a couple weeks ago, its on par with a G23 wakeboard wake, and imo a better surf wave.  If I were going to upgrade from my 2017 LSV it would be into the 2018 A24, it is a sick ride.

Every thing sounds great to me, but I don't want to have to pull around, and store a 24.5 ft boat! To bad someone can't come up with a smaller package to do this.

I did demo the T22 which I thought was also great.  Not on par with A24 but still respectable.  The new PW2 offering on Axis imo makes it a great all around package.  Malibu really does have a nice portfolio lined up for 2018 with different boat options for there customers.

I also think the longer boats just perform a little better for surfing because of the increased length which also equals less bow rise.  Still would like to get out on the T23, I have been told this boat also produces a nice wake when properly weighted.

This is very true!  We normally run a crew of 6 or less, frequently only 3.  Our last 3 boats have been 24'+  not for the space, but bigger boats surf better.  They are heavier, less sensitive, and simply produce a larger more powerful wave.
