Don’t see many flat bottoms durning the summer.

Never seen this sweet boat in Havasu before.

Similar but I haven’t seen an Axopar with an aft door like that.

 

[Tank]

I think
We’ll be seeing a LOT more of those style boats in havasu (axopar style). They’re perfect for out there and getting more and more popular. I can see one in our future for sure.

That will be my next boat. They handle big water like a champ.

It was a beautiful day in Riverside 76 degrees so I’m sure Havasu was just has nice

I don’t think it’s an axopar. But a nice boat for sure. I would love to have something like that on Powell.
Caught going by from an overlook today.

When we went to the BVI last year an Axopar was our water taxi from St Thomas to Tortola. Very comfortable ride with AC in the cabin. Next level creature comfort boat for Havasu that’s for sure! In the cabin you may feel a bit disconnected from anybody outside or doing water sports BUT I hear most of you just chill in the channel so maybe Axopar style would be good for that.

I have met a couple of them, they lead on to believe that there are 12 of them running on Powell now. Such a sick boat for that lake.

Its rare for us to sit in the channel, let alone even drive thru it anymore. Im with you with the next level for havasu thought but in Powell, I think I’d be sleeping on that thing in a different part of the lake every month.

 

[Not So Fast]

Look up the "Haul Over Inlet" for boating on another scale money wise, incredible, of course its in Floride I think

That red flatty is georgous if you get a look at it up close...seen it Fox's a couple of time...beautiful boat.

They are a great boat for the North. A friend let me take his for the fun run for Boyne Thunder. Had the camera man with me. Awesome boat. It was raining and blowing, but warm. We had the AC running and cruising in 4 footers on Lake Michigan. It had twin 300's on it. He replaced them with 450R's.

We have a couple of the axopars in our harbor here at Channel Islands. Like I said, would be an amazing boat for us since we boat here out to the Channel Islands or up to Santa Barbara or out to Catalina and out in havasu. They seem VERY versatile. The weather can change here and it can get cool or even foggy quickly. So would be ideal to run out to the islands on a sunny calm morning with the rag top slid open and side doors slid back opened up like a CC spend the day or with two cabins, even over night out at Santa Cruz Island (which is an magical thing to do) and then head home the next day or at weekends end. If the water get snotty and it gets cold you slide the doors shut close the rag top and punch through the swell and wind chop comfortably.

And in havasu, AC cabin and cockpit when it’s stupid hot, open it all up when it’s comfortable out. Nice lounge in the back to lay out on and chill and a bow chill area as well. The neeer models have full wings in the front cabin for airflow.

Only thing that would make this boat better would be fold down sides to open up the aft deck.

A very user friendly vessel.

These guys did a good over view and test.

Hey Tank, there is another manufacturer (maybe a one off made here in the states) that has the drop down sides. I cant recall where i saw it tho.

From Cathedral Canyon during the week of LPC’24.

Brian @454Rocket has one. He summers it in Long Beach and Winters in Havasu with it. He took me on a ride last year and it was awesome. Does everything really WELL. Its name is "Eurotrip" if you see it out and about!
