Every Sanger I’ve been in has had immaculate fit and finish. Every MB I’ve been had way better fit and finish then a boat at its cost had any business having. Malibu was considered to be a top 3 with CC and MC prior to going public. It took a big hit and everyone else made leaps and bounds. Malibu has been on the quality and fit&finish upswing for a good 3 years after having the 2014-2021 debacle. Supra, MB, and Moomba have made huge leaps in the last few years. Centurion has also blossomed under CC. Tige’s new Ultra ZX’s will definitely steal some big 3 buyers as will Supra. MC’s innovation and progression has really slowed down, but it doesn’t matter as they have such high performing boats and their fit and finish has always been incredible. So why reinvent the wheel every 2-3 years when you can take the Toyota approach of slow progression and mastering the product you already have. In the year of 2024 every wake boat has very good to incredible performance out of the box, and every single one can be made noticeably to a metric fuck ton better with tinkering. So being a picky bitch about interior and brand bias and needing conformation and validation for your buying decision is want it all leans on today for these nonsensical my dick is bigger then your dick comparisons. The wake and wave should be your first consideration, followed by dealer proximity, dealer quality, and known reliability. Leave the handbag mentality for the wives if you need their approval.

Need to discuss the price point between these boats. There’s no doubt that the centurion is a higher end boat, but at what cost? I just purchased a brand-new Malibu 23 LSV. It was customer ordered but not delivered due to financial challenges. It doesn’t have all the bells and whistle‘s but has most of them. I looked at the Axis and Moomba product lines, and I was not impressed with the overall quality of the products, definitely cost cutting. But these lower end boats are anywhere from $30-$80,000 less than the higher end trim lines. The lower end boats still run the same hardware with surfgates, trim tabs, engines and drivetrains. The wake is generally the same but at a much lower cost.

I would love to see a comparison between a G23, X-star and M240

Thanks. Great breakdown of the pros and cons of each.

I mean the easiest way to figure this out is to go to the boat show and sit in them all and decide for yourself. That is what this video should have said. Personally having sat in every wake boat they all have nice features some of which may not appear on another brand and If I could make my ideal wakeboat I would pull elements from all the brands.

I have not shopped for a surfboat since 2017, but looking UNDER the seats sold me on the Natique G23, even though the Malibu LSV25 wave was longer and it did not have the nose-snagging trough near the transom that my G did.

So what is the cost difference between the boats?

About $130K from an axis to that centurion they fail to mention that you can buy 2 axis boats for the price of that LOO

Trying to get an idea of depth on the supreme and ri. How tall are you? Great video!

Went to the Pomona boat show in March 2024 and was EXTREMELY disappointed to see how bad the fit/finish was from Centurion… So disappointing, in fact, that we ordered a Supra.

I owned a ‘19 Malibu 23 LSV. Traded it in on a Centurion Ri 245 two years ago. So glad. There’s no comparison in terms of “fit and finish”, quality, ride or wave. Run, don’t walk, to your nearest Centurion dealer. Demo the Centurions and you’ll figure it out.

Would love to know the pricing of all three.

103 thousand for the axis, 150 thousand for the supreme, and 250 - 400 thousand flr the centurion

There is a Flip up seat on the axis for the driver. Why would you lie and say there isn’t?

This dealership is very biased. They skip out on things to make the axis look like the worst boat possible. Go check out their other videos comparing the boats together.

This guy clearly has an issue with Axis, pretty easy to see.

I work at a coaching school which tops at 2000 hours per season! that's correct, 2 thousand. Guess which boat they have after 20 years in business, the axis. On a basic level that can hold out no doubt. would love to see if a centu or supr hold up that well....I also wonder why there is no malibu compared here......I don't actually wonder.

Why compare two entry levels to a centurion. It would be better to scrap the centurion in this video and put the axis and supreme head to head as they’re both entry level boats and putting a Malibu against a centurion as a better apples to apples comparison. A centurion is top dog in the glass world and Malibu is on up there as well while the supreme and axis are the entry level variants of the Malibu and centurion lines

had a ri245, and now a m220. boat quality are both good, m220 has a bigger wake for wakeboarding. surf wave on both are good.

I find the centurions boats impressive from outside, but on the inside like a 16 year old's tuner car with stickers(hydro turf) everywhere. Plus speakers shooved everywhere like an after thought. No thanks!

Great explanation. So don’t buy a boat from a public ally traded company? Haha. Have an awesome winter.

I've been trying to watch for over 3:46 seconds...is this guy really trying to pretend the difference in quality comes down to cushions? Talk important issues first man come on.

why did you pick the sh1t brown boat to compare with lovely boat but the color sucks
