Hull Design
The Supreme S240 features an Easy-V hull design inspired by the Centurion Opti-V hull, offering excellent wakeboarding performance and maneuverability in rough waters. In contrast, the Axis T23's Wake Plus hull, originally designed for water skiing, provides superior handling in smoother water conditions.
Surf Systems
Both boats come equipped with surf systems to create and transfer surf waves. The Axis utilizes a surf gate system for quick wave transfers, while the Supreme features a tab-style QuickSurf system for greater wave customization and shape control. The Supreme's tab system offers three-dimensional adjustment and increased fuel efficiency.
Interior Design:
In terms of storage and comfort, the Axis T23 offers ample storage space under the side seats due to its rear-weighted ballast distribution. The Supreme S240 strategically distributes ballast throughout the boat, providing additional storage in the bow and underneath the observer locker. The Supreme also offers more legroom with the option to remove the center cushion.
Performance
For wakeboarding, the Axis T23's flatter hull design excels for advanced riders, accommodating more weight before the wake breaks down. The Supreme S240, with its V-hull design, delivers exceptional wakeboarding experiences for entry-level to advanced riders. The Axis performs better for water skiing due to its ability to produce a superior water ski wake.
Finer Details
The Supreme boat stands out in fit, finish, and construction quality. The interior cushions of the Supreme are significantly thicker and feature triple-stitched seams, showcasing the boat's higher-end materials and durability. Supreme boats incorporate billet aluminum and stainless steel components, while Axis boats often feature plastic components.
Towers:
The Axis tower supports four board racks for additional storage, while the Supreme tower offers a robust design with minimal rattle or shake. The Supreme's tower features gel-coated fiberglass panel inserts that perfectly match the boat's exterior. It also provides effortless weight-assist functionality for easy tower manipulation.
Bimini Coverage and Tower Speaker Integration
The Supreme's bimini offers extensive coverage, providing substantial shade for the boat's interior. In contrast, the Axis bimini offers less coverage, leaving a portion exposed to the sun. The Supreme's tower seamlessly integrates the speaker system into the bracketing for a cleaner, sleeker appearance.
Additional Features
Supreme boats come with features like bombshell board racks, accommodating high-end surf-style boards without causing damage. Surf pockets integrated into the bimini offer convenient storage for surfboards, enhancing the overall experience.
Final Thoughts
Choosing between the Supreme S240 and the Axis T23 depends on your specific needs. The Supreme excels in fit, finish, and overall construction quality, offering a luxurious and durable experience. The Axis may be suitable for those seeking a more budget-friendly option. Consider your water activities and carefully weigh the advantages and disadvantages of each boat.

Team Supreme! 🔥

[@TheArtofRighteousness]

This dude is a treasure of knowledge. As far as overall tow boat education you can’t beat him or his BoardCo team

[@jordanjones7918]

Would love to see comparison between Supreme and Moomba!

[@BoardCo]

Say less. kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4mQhoFpgM2Ci9E

[@juvenilesoutside]

at the end of the day the supreme is a correct craft and you cant beat that fit and and finish, Great video!!

[@joetaber8259]

Great comparison. A friend of mine has an Axis and you need to be careful sitting down or you’ll break your butt. I think the Supreme fit, finish and wave performance is way beyond Axis and probably most “premium” brands as well.

[@BoardCo]

They are doing a pretty incredible job with the new S220 and S240...

[@joshleighty9778]

I have an A22 and can literally feel the wood through the seats it’s terrible

[@mikestanley4457]

Current model year is 2023 and 2024 is already out. How does the current supreme compare to the new T235?

[@lukekirsch3358]

the hull design may be an old design for the T22 and T23. I thought the hull was redesigned for the 2022 axis T220 and T250?

[@BoardCo]

You are correct. This was a 2022 T23 and was current model when we shot this video. They changed the body lines for 2023 with the T235 and made it 6 inches longer, though just about everything else about it is the same. The lines on the hull are different, though the running surface design is the same Wake Plus hull.

[@user-mi8nv2qy3f]

Dude said the axis is single stitch seats while showing only the center bow cushion. All the other seats in the axis are triple stitch and you can see that in clips of the front of the boat that they showed.

[@BoardCo]

The Axis boats have a combination of stitching - some single, some double and some triple depending on the areas. The Supreme boats have double and triple stitching throughout the boat with no single stitching on any seats or cushions.

[@Natedoc808]

Bow cushion takes a bunch of traffic, my brother in law just had his bow center cushion and sun deck repaired from the seams tearing open and its been treated pretty gently, just a matter of certain areas get stepped on.

What model of supreme is best for surfing?

[@BoardCo]

Every Supreme model comes ready to throw a great surf wave out of the box. A customer favorite is the Supreme S240 for its lines and design, which also throws an absolutely killer surf wave.

[@hellomynameis1975]

Why wouldn’t you talk about the msrp of each boat instead of talking about generalities? The wave is best behind the driver seat. Which side of the supreme is best based on prop rotation?

[@BoardCo]

Thanks for the great questions! MSRP is a number drawn up by each manufacturer and not regulated properly. For example, if MSRP should be $140,000, many companies will make it $300,000 with a $160,000 discount or $220,000 with a $80,000 discount. MSRP doesn't change the sell price of the boat or the value, but many dealers like to play with it to make it look like you are getting a HUGE discount. (slightly exaggerated but you understand). Secondly, the props turn the same direction in each boat, making it easier to create a wave on the starboard side as you stated.

[@hellomynameis1975]

@@BoardCo thanks for info, yes the MSRP game changes a lot with options added etc. the discount game will eventually change? We are seeing that in the car industry or will it remain the same as boats are more luxury items? Are the starting prices of the boat similar? Supreme has a lot more options to choose and their base engine is bigger compared to Malibu M5DI I have a 2021 A22 with 210 hours, the worst complaints about boat is bow rise at front and with wedge down it is difficult to steer while there is a rider on port side. Wave is customizable no complaints there

[@andyeighttre]

Videos of waves and wakes is what really matters and they are never present in these comparisons.

If you buy a Supreme over an Axis you will get everything you deserve. Do not buy "leaner" boats. Nautique, Malibu, Axis are the only boats worth owning.
