2011 242 (ready to pull the trigger)

[USMC3040]

About to purchase our first Supra 2011 242. It's our 3rd boat but first wake boat.

Any suggestions for this new SUPRA owner?

Where is the best place to pick up surf boards, wake boards, etc...? (adults and kids)


Thanks

-Tom

Pull that trigger!! Great boat. Great wake.
Love mine. They have beautiful lines and fit a lot of people comfortably. One of the best boats Supra has made.

I used Evo.com and Bartswatersports.com for my board purchases. Nice to have a wide variety of boards for my family for different ages, weight class, and skill levels. Love my Ronix best but it’s not for beginners.

Liquid Force Suede Grip Wake Surf Rope is great. Also from Bart’s.

Look up Inland Curl wakeshaper on Facebook or eBay. $140 unit that works great on my 242. Don’t let the three letter troll on here tell you it’s a POS, because it isn’t. 242 has a great wake already but will need the enhancement for more push.

Also, upgrade the 600 lb bags in rear for 1100s if not already done.
Visit Wakemakers.com for stuff like that. May want to grab some new impellers for your pumps too and replace annually.

I’m sure I’m missing something but others will chime in. Good luck!

Post a picture when you get a chance. My experience is that's great boat. Take some time and familiarize yourself with it. Properly maintained it will give you many good years and plenty of opportunities to enjoy good times with family and friends.

Congrats!! Welcome to the forum. Beautiful boat! Nice color combo...haven't seen one in those colors before. That yellow stripe pops with that blue.

Stereo is upgraded from the looks of it.

I like those trailer wheels too. They don't look factory.

How many hours are on it?

[USMC3040]

Thanks!! Yeah I liked the color combo myself and the trailer wheels. 400hrs on it. Interior is in excellent condition. Previous owner babied it for sure.

Yeah it has a nice wetsound tower setup with controller for tower and interior zones and has two rockford 12" subs as well. One under the glove box storage area and one under the helm. Alpine amps powering everything.

Very nice looking 242. Is it a Launch or Sunsport? Looks like a Launch to me.

Yes, it's a Launch

Cool. I have the same boat, just a different color scheme. 18689

We are in our 3rd season with this boat and we love the reliability, the ride, the room. Let me know if you run into any issues with yours. Maybe I can point you int he right direction. Enjoy it

Hey just curious with you fellas, just picked up my 2014 242. It's got the big screen for all the controls. Not sure which models have that which don't. Love the boat, but I seem have some kind of electrical glitch everytime I go out. Ballast pumps trip, radio won't boot, ballast won't empty, trim plate trips, .... always something minor. Never a show stopper, but just annoying. Boat only had 28 hours on it when I bought it. Yall experience anything similar?

You need to check to see of the firmware is up to date. Dealer should be able to check this for you. I have heard of there being issues with the Vision systems around your year, but local dealer should be able to get that corrected. I have issues sometimes with my speed control, but it is a satellite reception issue.

Great thanks. Nice color combo, I like the black and the red!

[Mr717]

I'll definitely check and see what they have to say. Thanks. I've mentioned the issues I've ran into and they hadn't offered any specific fix. But I'll ask more specific about the firmware update.

Great company.
Get some sort of suction cup surf device. They work so well on supras evenly weighted. I suggest that you get more than stock ballast as well. That boat has potential for a mega wave!
