I dunno but im thinking theres a point in how modern you could go with an older supra b4 it becomes looking odd.

Am I the only guy with an '83 Supra?

Kinda know how the last dinosaur felt before he died.

Whoops I thought they started in 84! Just noticed a BEAST was made in 82 so I need to edit this!! POST THEM UP! WE ALL GOT THE SAME HULL!!

bobbyT...

Wet sand first then hit it with 3M Super Duty Compound, 3M Finesse-It and 3M Perfect-It, then wax. That will get it shining nice if it is pretty oxidized. Any pics of what it looks like right now?

All the pics of these Sunsports look really great! I'll go ahead and add a couple recent pics from in the water about a month ago.
Also - someone on this thread was talking about the Sunsport hull vs the Rider hull. There are slight differences according to a Rider hull a looked at just last week. The Rider is a bit flatter on the bottom at the stern with NO chines. Also the Rider has 3 fins whereas the Sunsport has 2 fins. There may also be other subtle differences.

Thanks man! Nothing better than a compliment from a fellow Supra owner. Yeah, I like the fade too - I told Jim what I wanted and he delivered!

"Minivan on water" comment taken with fun! My wife still has a minivan and although it's convenient, I hate driving it. I think the closed bow looks way cooler, and is definately easier to keep dry on a windy day. But what could be cooler than driving the boat with a couple of pretty ladies sitting in the bow? Just sayin . . .

very true, although a couple bikini's in ANY boat will make it look cool..
