With the T235, Axis launches a new model that has become the sweet spot size segment for watersports boat buyers. At 23’5″, the T235 offers both Axis’ signature styling and a high level of watersports performance.
The T235 has room for 16 friends and family. Thanks to the taller freeboard and deeper seat, we found much more comfort. The traditionally shaped bow maintains the classic look without softening the bold lines that forged the Axis name (and image). provides a nice look. Hinged seats through the T235’s wraparound cockpit provide easy storage access. A sliding rear bench allows comfortable viewing of wake movement.

That action on the water is the bread and butter of the T235. With both the trademarked Surf Gate and Power Wedge III systems working in harmony with 4,780 pounds of available ballast, the T235 creates a riding surface for every style and ability level. The Wake Plus hull design not only displaces more water, but also produces a cleaner, more consistent wake and waves. The magic of the Power Wedge III is how you can customize both shape and style, making them steeper or longer and mellower. That means novices or beyond advanced riders will be thrilled to catch the waves and the air.
When you’re done riding, there’s plenty of room to lounge around on the large transom sunpad. Alighting at the swim platform makes it easy to get on and off the T235 and is also a great place to watch the kids go for a swim.

Of the three Dash packages available, we recommend the Premium Sport Dash option. This option has a soft touch keypad that puts power wedges, surf gates, ballast settings, lighting and more at your fingertips. A standard 7-inch touchscreen provides access to all your boat’s vitals and system controls. On the left is a stereo head unit with Bluetooth and a wireless phone charging station.
If you’re looking for a boat that combines bold looks with traditional style, performance and ease of use, the Axis T235 is the one for you.
