What is the difference ngavdba?

[haugy]

Thanks Haugy! Wife liked both the white and the red '92. I need to take her for a ride in a Saltare to show her the difference from the Rider. Probably would convince her to pull the trigger.

That red one is the golden goose. You've got to get him lower than that number though. Blue carpet, yellow piping on the observers seat, and then blue piping on the captains chair, what the hell happened there? I'm thinking $8000-$8500 for that boat.

Original Supra trailer, which is very nice for loading with those bow catches. Put it on, give it gas till it stops, secure strap and done.

I like the white one as well. Those were my to favorites for sure. If you decide to get the red one, and need a place to stop and rest or run into any problems, Nashville is midway. Door is always open. (you just get to be on diaper detail)

Chris, the riders are going to have more of a bowrider feel to them, than some of the newer more flattened out hulls. But the Saltares ride very nice. I've been very pleased with how it's been. My old Mariah would beat the snot out of you in chop. This one is much less. Plus the Rider is so much shorter it is much more nimble and quick turning.

Really?! I've always kind of pictured the rider to be the giant of the old Supra line. I know the Saltare is a long boat but I would have never guessed someone would call a Rider nimble or quick! Interesting

The one I drove was very light and easy to maneuver. The Saltare is no pig. It handles and turns very nicely. But I could feel the Mariah ready to track on rails when I was moving at fast speed with it. The Saltare as I've learned is a little more reluctant for the high speed carving.

The Rider I drove seemed to handle a bit like the Mariah. A little more sluggish, but still handled well.

But the rides between them are night and day.

Haugy have you driven a Sunsport? I'm just interested to hear because the only classic I've been in/driven is mine which is a SS. I would imagine the Sunsport to be very similar to the Riders...

[haugy]

Yep, I noticed nothing different between the 85 Sunsport or Rider. But that's my opinion.

I think I've driven almost every Supra out there except for the Allegro and Beast.

That's interesting. The Rider does have more freeboard than a Saltare though right? I've just kind of always thought that but now I'm just wondering if the long lines of the Saltares have been kind of an optical illusion and made the freeboard look shorter?
