I just sold my duck boat and bought a Supra Launch, 1999 or 2000 model on title is 2000, but pictures on the supra archives match the 1999 Launch. I am brand new to the wakeboard world, grew up waterskiing, they didn't have wake anything back then.

Has the standard Indmar 310 hp, Came with tower (I think it's supra original), 400 lb ballast system (tested and working). Gauges need work, test drive was fine, wake looked pretty big.

Stock Kenwood stereo will have to go soon, already removed the tower speakers looked like they were stolen from a home stereo or someone's patio. Upholstery had definitely been updated, in pretty good shape, came with the snap on mooring covers, double axle trailer.

She's at the shop getting an engine service and fixing the gauges. She really just needs a deep cleaning and detail.

Hopefully I can squeeze in some lake time in the fall before it cools off.

I think i got a good deal for $13K. Attached a couple pics.

YES! I have the identical boat, but an 01 with a 320 HP and 330hours. Came with plenty of goodies and had just about perfect interior. Not sure about yours. Anyway I paid $18,500 and could not find another close.

So you got a great deal!

Thanks, very happy so far, I just need to find some wakeboard and wakesurf lessons. I'm in Houston for those who asked.

Congrats on the "new" boat - sounds like a nice deal & looks sharp in the pics.

Where at in Htown? Sounds like we've got a few on the board here in the area. I'm up in Cypress, BRACK (Lake Houston area) & OLDSCHOOL85 (down in Pearland). Now we just need someone in Pasadena to complete the 4 corners of the city. Maybe a gathering next spring (hopefully I'll be back on the water by then?)?

Sorry, can't help with the lessons - old school slalom myself as well, so will be learning along with the kids next spring. There is supposed to be a cable park going in down SW (Alvin/Pearland) ready for next spring. Probably have some pro lessons there or there's a summer wakeboard camp up near Trinity in the summers.

Good luck!
