I am looking at a 15 or newer SG or SE. I'm coming from a Mastercraft. Is there anything to worry about with any year or mechanics? I know for Mastercraft 2012 was a bad year for their computer systems.

You will find more tech as you move from year-year.
Raptor motors have been solid over the years. They are loud, but you do not hear about failures - as with most brands.
There are some occasional issues with Cats getting replaced. Computer throwing codes, usually under warranty.
Supra has not had as many computer issues like some of builders. Yes, every now and then a computer will need software upgrade.
I hear about it's harder to get your newer GoPro synched to the boat on the 2020s - not really that big of a deal.
The SL had alternator wiring issue with the harness on the 19s. Took a little while, but they found the issue and people have been getting the fixed if this affected your model.
SE will need a lot of weight - lead of add'l bags. Big boat. Drives nice. Nice wave for surfing. Never wake-boarded behind one.
SG will need weight, but not as much as the SE. Wakemakers makes a good ballast bag upgrade - ?1350s?. Then get the upgrade prop too. Surfing and boarding are great. Almost bought one, but went with the SL.
In case it helps I went from the X20 to the 2019 SL 400, love it! Chasing the biggest wave, it's huge and long. Also love Auto Wake, the stereo with the extra sub, the dash, the power tower, heated/electric driver seat, theater seat, floor cooler.Quote:

Is there a big difference between the '15 and '16 SG? I'm thinking my price range is more of a '15. Wondering what kind of wave it throws. I'm coming from an Gen 2 Mastercraft X30 and it's pretty good.

From 15 to 16, The SG’s interior had new finishes, new rear Bimini, JL Audio a lot better than 15s), and redesigned dash. I'm not sure if both years had the rear facing back seat.Quote:
