I need some help here. I have being buying wakesetter's for the last 8 years and due to some issues with the local dealer am very much interested in a Supra. I know what kind of handling, ride and wake I want out of a boat but the local Supra dealer here does not offer demo's or test drives. They only lake test after the boat is purchased. Any advice???????
where are you located? i have a 2006 21v for sale and will take you for a test drive.
First off that salesmen is a idiot. In todays market how can you act like that and expect people to buy your product.
That said he may be afraid that you are just wanting a day out on the lake with his expense.
When I was looking at the new 07 Supra 21v that I just bought they told me that. But once he realized I was serious and we started talking numbers they gave me a test ride without signing anything.
Assuming that he doesn't change his tune once you get serious maybe you could sign a purchase agreement with a pre-condition that you like the test drive.
Thanks for your responses.
For curiousity sakes, I phoned a couple of other Boat Dealers 3 out 4 said demo's are not a problem.
I phoned skiers choice and asked them how can I buy one of thier boats without seeing it perform and within 24 hours the dealer phoned me back to arrange for a test drive!
Now I have to decide on a 21V or 22SSV!???? Any thoughts?
Are you trying to fit in a garage? 21V may fit because it's not as long.Quote:

Does the 21V have a deeper hull?
I am on Sylvan Lake, Alberta which is fairly rough which is one of the reasons a 21V interested me as I was told that it does have a deeper hull and handles chop really well. The last boat i had was a 32 foot Malibu which as a bit to big for our needs so was hoping to downsize a bit without losing the great wake. I do have a large garage so that is not an issue and as far as the seating its not to big of deal, more worried about a good surf and WB wake. All the other boats i have owned have had hard ballast tanks, any issues with the bags ballast? Does it take up alot of storage space while inflated?
I have an 08 Sunsport 22v and the rear facing seat behind the driver, it is great. It just adds to the rear facing seats in the boat. I have had no complaints from any of my friends, usually it is one of the first seat taken when we go out riding.Quote:

I have just purchased a 21v , and took it for a spin the other day in the worst condidtions I have ever seen, and it handled the choppy water exceptionally well, and I didn't get a single drop of water on me. It was fantatsic.
You can't go wrong with a 21v!
Thanks for all your input, Demo ride is Saturday and pumped about it!
