A245 rumors?

[CaptainMorgan]

Was on Axis website and at this point it sticks out that the A24 and A20 are "missing a 5" and thus probably in line for a refresh next MY.  anyone hear from dealers what to expect?

I'm sure they will tout an "all new Hull" and weight/ballast will change by a few lbs...maybe add a walk-thru transom and move the ski pylon (like T250)?  less pointy pickleforks (like A225)? 

wonder if anything more 'significant' may be in the works; like is it time for more flow-down of Malibu features -- like the manual flip-down swim step (while malibu's keep the power version), or i'd love a storage locker (but am not expecting it).   Will they add an A265 to the lineup instead/also?

By all means i encourage speculation as i'm mostly passing time during cold weather, but not-so-secretly hoping i find a reason i can take to the CFO on why we should consider an upgrade - (un?)fortunately she likes our 2019 A24 so much its a hard sales pitch

I highly doubt they will do A245 and A265 just due to centurions naming. Not saying something isn't in the works just wouldn't expect those names.

An A247 seems like a normal progression as it has already been done on the Malibu side. Plus just like in the cubic inches race of the 60’s they gain a couple on the competition.

if really following the automotive footsteps (in^3 --> liters), maybe they'll switch to metric and we'll get an A7.3 (meters) or better yet an A730 (cm) to really sound impressive!

Sounds like an Airbus logo.

I got a hint at the end of the summer from an individual that a transom walk-thru is coming with the refresh on the A24. He wasn't budging a whole lot on information since it's still really early. 

[CaptainMorgan]

i see Mastercraft has flip-down swim steps on even its entry NXT line, so hoping Axis will follow suit.

Well considering the A24 is 24’5” I would expect rebranding this year with the revamp to look like the lines of the A225.

Any new rumors on the A245?  Heard some dealers have info on them.

[Livinlogs]

Yep a245 like the smaller version released last year , most features of the t250 with walk thru I was told . No new 24 mxz though 

[CaptainMorgan]

that's effectively what i heard at boatshow this spring -- think T250 but with wider bow.  surprised 24 mxz didn't change though, figured whatever hull update they do could cross over but what do i know.

We have one at the draper store on the showroom. Very impressed with all the new changes that have been made.
