Looking for a Supra and Found this

[blackout00]

Hello,

I have been looking all winter at wakeboard boats and found this one.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...id=p2759.l1259

Just curious as to what everyone's thought are on this boat. I plan on using it for Sking and Wake surfing and just general fun. Any input / concerns would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Looks like a nice ride - not much to go on by the pics though. I don't know if that's a good price for a 94 or not . . . .
Sorry, not much help.

Blackout. I HAVE TO CALL BULLSH*T on that 3 ft wake. Your looking at the GREATEST SLALOM SKI BOAT EVER MADE (small wake)..which is the opposite for wakeboarding!! I am also worried about the year he is saying it is, I am 90% sure they changed the body style in 92' to a all fiberglass new body style. I have that boat and with 1600 lbs in it (the most I've ever seen in small supra) and i can only muster up 12'-15" wake. And he doesnt say what weight or where he is putting his weight for a 3' wake, I would ask him. I use 2-550's beside the eng and a 400 behind the eng and 100 lbs in the nose. 2-probs with this boat are walking around room (because of fat sacs) and the nose going under even on small waves. I have figured out how to get over them and not dip the nose (ancient Chinese secret) lol. If you want to go out and play and wakeboard cheap do it..Its a nice looking boat. Jet

Prob areas:
wood rot under floor
nose very low in the water
floor room
small 18 gal gas tank

OK. 2-more things to be worried about on his ad. He says it throws a 3' WAVE, not wake?? And he says the gas tank is 21-30?? Bullsh*t try 18 gals and with 1000-1600 lbs and 2-4 people, 18 gals lasts about 4-5 hrs not all day! i have been thinking about adding a additional 6-12 gal tank under the nose? Im not sure this guy either doesnt know much about wakeboarding or he's stretching the truth?? i sent him a question email about his wake size and weight? I'll let you know. jet

It is a nice boat, but it is simply not a wakeboard boat. Any boat you see that is closed bow or labled as a Comp boat is made for waterskiing (exception is the Ski Nauti "2001"1980s models). Tower looks nice (would like to have the tower pads), but it will not make much of a wake. IMO that's about all you need to know. Keep looking for SunSports or a CC Sport Nauti.

What is your budget, where are you located?

i'm no comp expert, i like open bows. vinyl looks like its fairly new. someone spent some money on it...vinyl, tower, stereo, trailer painted with new wheels....

i wonder what happened to the boat....rebuilt engine, new shaft, new rudder, new prop. sounds like someone went a little shallow with it. frozen engine?

it looks nice if a comp is what you really want. but like jet said, they are small boats. i'm guessing the 3' wave is in reference to surfing?

Thank you for all the help. I thought it looked a little fishy. I am looking to spend 10-20k. I know that is a broad range but I am truly in the research stages right now. I would like about a 23' vdrive boat, but am open to options. What are some other good sites to look for wake board boats? I really like the 23' Malibu Ride line. Little more than I want to spend. The Supra boats seem to have a great reputation and have been around long enough that an early 2000 would work great. Thanks again for the input keep It coming!

if your looking at a comp you should look at mine in the classifeds, also I am leary of that boat it has a squared windshield so I dont think he his right on his year .

[jasonba1]

blackout and I will also stand behind my boat with everything that is listed. I can almost promise you that is not a 94 with that windshield? My boat is all fiberglass so you dont have to worry about floor rot. I wakeboard, wakeskate, and ski behind mine all of the tim. If you are interested in mine Ill cut you a better deal since your a forum member also if you are close to TN you can come look at it anytime and we will take it out if you are serious because right now it is in storage and winterized but if you like it I will defintly get it out.

Check my boat out under the classifieds under completly redone 92

Blackout..Jason's is one bad ass boat. LOTS of upgrades and i dont think his boat needs anything. Take a good hard look. Jason, what do you have it listed for? Jet
