I'm so confused ????

[etktryd]

Can someone tell me what a Comp STS is. There is a 1996 Comp STS for sale in La Jolla Cal. It has the old style windshield. I'm so confused !!!
Asking price is 20,000 ( WOW ) and the trailer looks like its been run off a cliff !
Thanx

They did make a Comp Classic with the old style windshield and composit construction. When looking at used boats or anything else if it looks abused it was abused.

[etktryd]

I thought the Classic was 97 only? This boat is a 96 and has the square windshield.

[etktryd]

Foxriverat just sent me a link that is a 98 with a square windshield.

I'm so confused !

What is the difference between a Conbrio and a Esprit ?

[etktryd]

Or an Impulse and a Comp. Talk to me people !!!!!!!!!!

Or an Impulse and a Comp. Talk to me people !!!!!!!!!!

To the best of my knowledge - - - back in 96/97 Supra was having some difficult times and chose to oull out some old moulds for the comp using the newer composite construction rather than spend $ on new models for this line( comp).
Thus you see these 96/97 comps with square windshields. Great hull but not the sleek appearance that the 93 or 94 comps showed on the upper deck and dash etc.

The Esprit is the poor mans version of the conbrio. Same hull , engine etc but not all the trimmings.
Similar to comparing a ford f150 xlt to a ford f150 Platinum model.
The exact same holds true for the Impulse as compared to the comp ts6m.
Fyi ts6m stands for “ tournament skier 6 metres”
6 metres translates to 19 feet 6 inches which was the accepted length for a true tournament boat pulling skiers in competition.

Hope this helps

Thanx Crystal !!!!!
Maybe I can finally get a good nights sleep.
Its been driving me crazy. Is it correct to say that the comp is the only one with three skags on the bottom and all the rest have two ?

Zzzzzz.....

[etktryd]

Would be cool to see a time line of what models were available in each year and how many got sold.
Seams to be a lot of supras for sale in Canada. Has anyone ever bought out of the states ?

I can tell you the conbrio and esprit have two only.
Not sure re impulse but suspect it may well be three.
Anyone out there who can confirm?

Bought my first tournament boat out of washington state.
1987 closed bow comp ts6m.
Pulled it back to Canada and went to work thru the winter doing upholstery and cut polishing etc etc.
Ran it through the following summer and sold it in the fall for an almost 5000 profit.
Then bought my current supra.

[foxriverat]

How bout a much better boat not too far from you. https://indianapolis.craigslist.org/boa/d/malibu-sunsetter-lx/6684109053.html

[etktryd]

May have to go check this one out.... I just love the look of the comp. It was my fist love. Just ask my wife.
You are pulling me to the dark side.

Based on price alone go for the Malibu,
20,000 for a 96 comp is stupid!
If you want a true tournament boat and hull the supra comp is unbeatable imho.
Many consider it the Ferrari of ski boats of that
era.
It is double hull construction and has Kevlar combined into the fiberglass for added strength.
Rock solid!
No wake at 36 mph which is tournament speed for mens course if interested in same.
The malibu you are looking at is a more roomy boat , larger by 3 1/2 feet and more family oriented for multiple water events.
Great power in the monsoon offering but not the strength of hull the supra offers. That said you probably would never need to know the difference.
A great family boat !
I say this being a rabid supra owner!

[scottschmitt]

Comps are great ski boats, but 20k is silly, especially in September.

[etktryd]

X2 !!!!!!!

[crystal waters]

X2 !!!!!!!

???
Starting with a comp hull you have gone in the opposite direction big time!
What are you looking for in an inboard recreational boat?

[blazerman]

Mine is a 94 sts, decals are gone but can see the outline when I wax it. They made composites with square windshields from 94 til 98. 20K is crazy, should be closer to 7K. Its been an awesome boat, best looking hull of the era by far.

[etktryd]

Would like to find a square windshield composite with a 350 chevy.
Yeah I know.... I could find the Holy Grail easier !!!!!!!!!!!
Oh... almost forgot.... in RED !!!!!

[etktryd]

Maybe I'll just take up fishing. :(

[foxriverat]

Almost only 351 not 350 https://seattle.craigslist.org/sno/boa/d/97-supra-comp-classic/6699958873.html

[etktryd]

Been keeping an eye one that one.... I've noticed a lot of the boats are missing the side class.

[foxriverat]
