I looked at an optioned out 2011 A22 (just not a vandall) a little while ago and it was 55k before tax so 60k otd sounds about right. If you read through some of the axis threads you will see all the talk about increase in shipping, cats on every motor now, and just a base increase the entire boat market has gone through. Axis still is a price point boat, just go take a look at comparable 2011 models from other makers. As far as the 335 is concerned, I think you will be fine with it as long as you go with the high altitude or core prop. I have an A20 with the 335 and made the mistake of going with the standard prop. It was only a mistake because I like to run weight most of the time so getting on plane with 2k lbs of ballast takes just a little bit longer than I like. That weight is going up to 3-4k soon so a new prop will be in order.
