Axis Wakeboard Boat Forum

After ordering a 2016 T23, I had a few options added after the fact that I thought were either on the order or were standard. Here they are:
-Underwater lights
-second ski pylon
-the new apparent "option" of the quick release tower clips

Any idea of what I should be paying for these? Salesmen said he would install these under the "dealer prep" cost, so I expect to at just for the parts.

Any help appreciated. My "new bill" is $1k. I think it should be half that.

I'm not sure what that should all cost but aftermarket under water lights are expensive. If anything, 1k sounds cheap to me but I've never ordered a boat before.

Sounds high. The transom lights should be $325-$350 depending on the dealer and that's regular retail price when ordering. Ski pylon is $200-ish. Have no idea of the other quick release. Doesn't the T23 have a single drink holder in the middle behind the backseat? If so that should be replaced to accept the ski pylon so that "should" be included with the pylon.

Does sound high to me like full retail but what can you do? I thought the transom lights were like $500 on my order who his why I skipped them. And the ski pylon was like $230, again I skipped. And I read somewhere online the clips are like $220. So it sounds to me that you're paying msrp on the added options, all three which I would just skip anyways personally.

Are they using factory lights? Pretty sure my lifeforms where like 300 bucks a piece..

Factory I believe.

The factory transom lights are the exact same lights as the Malibu/Axis docking lights (unless they have a new style due to the T-series docking lights). If I get aftermarket transom lights it'll be Abyss Mini Starfish all day. Myself and another member here both had Abyss S800 series on our previous A22's and they were crazy bright and the Mini Starfish are brighter and more powerful for $325 a piece.

On my build sheet the underwater transom lights and the docking lights were $340 a pair. For 2016 the lights are supposed to be 300% brighter for whatever that's worth.
