Cheated on my Yamaha this weekend

[MattFX4]

went out on my neighbors 2017 Supra SE 450 and had a great time. I love my Yamaha but man his boat is something else. I love the layout. It feels massive on the inside with the wrap around seating. The fit and finish along with the features on that boat are top notch. It has the 450 hp raptor 6.2 engine that sounds amazing. Loud growl when you hammer it and then it quietens down and just a smooth rumble while under way. Wake and wave were great too. It has seriously got me thinking about trading.

The Supras are very nice and ride great with its deep v hull.

Don't tell her but I cheat on my Yamaha every night on YouTube lol. Maybe one day I will hit the lottery and get a nice Supra or Centurion. I'd love to have a Supreme as well.

Really love this Centurion Enzo!

Yes I was surprised how well it rode. First time being on a wake boat and it didn't feel much different than my Yamaha. It actually felt smoother. I guess because it's heavy and more solid. I'm going to look at their new SL model later this year and at the boat shows. It has 3,500 lbs of under floor ballast standard!

550 supercharged PCM on the FS44. Yes. Please.

Yup the Supras put out a nice wave . I'm subbed to wake9 on YouTube and have enjoyed watching him put the hours on his new SE550. It's not bad on fuel either considering he pushes around 12k lbs through the water https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1qjLn95vdskJSursXZpBD_RwmJCBjL3RXJq3Y1i1AD60/htmlview#

Cool will have to check him out. Yeah the one I was on has the non supercharged engine and we were out there about 6 hours and the fuel hand barely moved. That 6.2 is supposed to be pretty efficient

What does his boat look like? U take any pics of exterior and interior?

 

[MattFX4]

No, didn't get any pics but lifted these off a website. His is same boat. His is blue with silver metal flake though. You get the idea though.

I realize this boat is big, but could the canopy be any smaller!

With any bimini extending back from the tower you quickly run into all kinds of issues with routing the tow rope. Not ideal in a dedicated tow boat.

The Supra is a really nice offering. Ragboy from Wake9 switching camps from Tige to Supra was a big PR bump for an already great brand. I've admired Supras for years, but they have really come on strong with the surf wave in the last few years. And they are now offering a bigger Bimini @SCP1 !

Btw - tow boats usually are short on Bimini size,top end speed, storage and anchor lockers. Things that are frustrating when you switch from a Yamaha, but are lower priortites for those manufacturers/buyers

I'm really interested in the new SL they introduced for 2018. 23' with 3500lb of standard ballast all subfloor. Think I'm going to keep my 242 one more season and make a move for summer 2019. Of course things may change by then but that's the plan. I also like the SA. Both the SL and SA look to have a deeper hull than the SE I was on.

These waves look way better than the OPs. I'm assuming they have more ballast than stock and its position is finely tuned.

Yeah I have no idea how he had his ballast set up while we were out. Also the one video of the wave by itself was taken when we were heading to a cove to anchor for lunch. I believe he had already slowed down at this point. He did a test run earlier in day to show us the wave on the goofy side and it was nice. It was curling like a wave you see in the ocean
