Our new toy

[Kma4444]

Yeah, we are excited and the comment most often heard at the lake last weekend was, "That's the nicest boat I've ever seen". When people tell me how nice or pretty it is, my reply is, "Yeah, they build a beautiful boat". It is, a great looking piece. I'm very happy to find that it performs as well as it looks. So far we couldn't be happier.

This was a large purchase and we could have gone many different ways, we even looked at Master Crafts that were around $130k, (They looked like they were trying really hard on those boats, overdone. Kind of like a Ferrari with stick on hood scoops and louvers). We chose the Supra because it was great to look at, comfortable to be in and the folks at Atlanta Marine were good to deal with.

And we still are going to come up and tour the place Rick.

Thanks everyone!!

We had made the decision to order a boat for delivery in the spring but had continued to look when we had the time. We live 2+ hours from any inboard dealers so it was always a voyage to go just kick tires so to speak. I had been playing around with the boat builder on the Supra website and I couldn't find a combination I liked any better than what's on the one we got. I would like to see the same thing but with the red replaced with yellow. We looked at a Centurion that was yellow and black and it was very nice. I understand there might be a fading issue with the yellow and that's why they choose not to offer it on the top deck. The only way to get the yellow and black would have been to go with a black top deck. I give that idea a NO THANK YOU!!!!! You'd need to wear a fire suit to be around that the way the sun heats up dark fiberglass.

So to put a close to this way too long a tome about colors,,,,, we would have ordered this boat almost exactly, especially after seeing it in person.

That's beautiful! I have an '89 Sunsport and I go by Atlanta Marine every now and then just to dream and drool.

I love the red and black, I think your boat is my favorite as far as color scheme goes, and it matches the tow rig!

[Limegreen]

Nice work! I want one! Saw a nice used one listed in Knoxville. Same scheme but the red is limegreen. Could be cool. I keep coming back to the 242.

I suppose I noticed it because my ole disasterraft is limegreen. Love it, or hate it.

Your new baby is timeless, you'll enjoy looking at that for years!!!

[Kma4444]

Thanks Limegreen. Yeah, I saw some pretty stuff when we were looking but I wondered how they would stand the test of time. It would be easy to imagine that the super cool graphics o today could become as cool as gold chains and unconstructed jackets are now. I agree, the 242 has a look that should stay in style for a while.

I could see bright green working on it, that would be striking. I liked the Tige' Z3 with a similar color.

Thanks again

And yeah Brad, it just so happens that the boat does match big ugly, it actually makes the old truck look better doesn't it??? I played around with the boat builder and I couldn't find a color combination I liked any better than this one either.

When we left the lake after this weekend, the hour meter is showing almost 60!!!! We've been enjoying it a lot.
