I've got a OLD Supra & cant identify model!!

[darflinger]

I'm having a tough time finding out what model Supra I own. It might be a Supra Beast but I dont know for sure. The hull # is XKBAF5I9M82 JA. - I'm guessing by the serial #'s thats its a 1982?
454 pleasurecraft, CLOSED BOW,21', black hull with the w/ the 'rainbow-and-wave' decal. I havent seen a similar boat after 10 years of looking.
Did the Supra Beast come available in a closed bow?

I believe the all Beasts were closed bows with the 454. I think the 351 was the Marauder...but I am not sure about that.

Some pics might help or atleast feed our curiosity.

I'm working on the pics. Right now the boats stripped down to the hull for this decade's restore.- Hard to identify anything right now. Same hull as a Supra rider except closed- bow and 454. dash and engine housing is the same as rider. photos as soon as i can

sounds like it could possibly be supra comp with an engine upgrade?

Darflinger -
You have a Supra Beast that was manufactured in 1982 - from the hull number I'd say it was built in September of '82. The open bow "Rider" was not introduced until 1983, so naturally yours is closed bow. The Comp did not come until later . . .
Dan - A Marauder is simply a closed bow Sunsport and I believe it could have either the 351 or 454.

All of the Beast boats were big block power, closed bow. Ours originally had the 454, now a 496 HO MPI. Great boats. Al

I've got an '83 Marauder but a previous owner installed a 454 in the early 90's. Hull number is XKBAA919M83A-C. Does that mean I have a modified Marauder Beast/3817

I've got an 87 Marauder. Big block 454 came with it from the factory. The marauder is the same hull as the sunsport, just as a closed bow. If I'm not mistaken its still the same hull, minus a few small differences as the Launch series supra's now.
