The 2011 season is coming, and surely you’re planning to get more time on the water. In this economy, everyone is making sacrifices, but getting your wake fix shouldn’t be one of them. There are tons of wakeboard boat options out there. We decided to make it easier for you and find out which are the best wakeboard boats for a budget. These wakeboard boats may not have all the bells and whistles that the flagship wake boats have, but their wakes are perfect for progressing your riding. Some of these hulls have towed epic things in the sport, and each is capable of providing endless fun this summer — all for less than $60,000.

2011 Axis A22

Axis A22

The Axis A22’s appeal is easy to see. This wakeboard boat eliminates all the bells and whistles of some of the higher-end models but doesn’t skimp on the important features. The 900 pounds of stock ballast, standard cruise control and seating for 15 make this the perfect wakeboard boat for a no-fuss rider. The Axis A22 is styled with very progressive exterior lines and edges that complement the standard FatAX tower. There are also a bunch of upgrades you can include with the Vandall Edition package, which gives you additional Plug N’ Play ballast, an upgraded graphics package, swivel board racks and Auto-Set wedge. This boat has the core rider in mind and delivers a great wake at an incredible value.
