Great report thanks and congratulations on this BA ride

Awesome! Glad you like the boat. It looks awesome. I have a buddy in a Malibu 23 LSV and he has considered switching to the G23 is why I asked. I have been trying to tell him to check out a Supra. He mostly surfs.

the 450 with the 1.76 could be the bomb for everything to be honest. The initial reports back on the Makaii are nuts. 3400 ish surf RPM with big big weight. I love me the 575 and thats what mine has in it but the 450 is no joke with that reduction change.....Quote:

I'm so stoked on this ride Rance! Being from UT and 5600' boating I've heard the Makai with the 450 was AMAZING, one day I will find out.
Would like to see wake pics, just rode the SL and holy sh!t the wake was massive.
Sweet ride...Sounds like if you get the 450 now on the SE it comes with the 1:76 tranny, I am curious to hear how it works.
Is the 450 the 410 hp 452 ft.lb 460
Raptor or the 398hp 427 ft.lb 440 Raptor?

460. And she’s a beast.

I was very pleased with the 550 so far. Fuel consumption was about what I expected. Hoping to try a few props out and see if I can tweak it.

Curious if it’s another ECM tune but on 93 octane with the same internals.Quote:

I don’t think so. It’s got a different top side from what I have heard. Intake and cam....what I heard anyway.Quote:

Planed a Makai pretty easily with 1700# lead, full gas, 3 guys, and 60% ballast in a 16x16.25 prop.
That really got my attention.

Also have a good pal running a ZX5 2:1 460 and says it’s plenty by a comfortable margin.
Could be a really nice setup for these bigger boats!
That being said, the 575 is an animal for sure!

The g23 surf wave (at least stock) isn't all that. I've surfed a 2015 plenty and it's okay, but my XLV puts out a cleaner surf wave that's taller (but not quite as long) as the G. And I'd say most of the newer Supras easily put out better waves than the G (again, I'm only riding a G with factory ballast).Quote:

But DatTexasBoy, your color scheme is amazeballs. I'm not a fan of chrome wheels, but the boat itself is stellar. That would look badass behind my wife's Sterling gray F150!!!
Your F150 would die trying to tow that big beast. My 2017 F250 Super Duty knows that my 18SA550 is back there. With boat and trailer you are at 7,200 lbs plus 450 lbs of gas, 600 lbs of lead, then your are at 8,250 lbs without any gear, full cooler of beer, etc. you can get to 9,000 lbs real quick.
haha. I hear ya. But it would STILL "LOOK" Badass!!! I'm 6250 all in boat and trailer with my XLV so yeah, and extra 1500 pounds would get noticed quick! But hey, I don't like the taste of beer, so look at all my weight savings!!! LOLOLQuote:

I concur, towing an 18 SA with an 18 F150, you know it’s there. The 3.5EB can handle it, and the F150 is level, but it pushes a half ton around.Quote:

It is interesting the way compliments trend on here. My momma told me long ago “if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all”
Maybe I am old school, but I guess I focus of the good things to compliment.

No doubt! Man rocking a brand new boat and someone comments on the trailer wheels lol.Quote:

I disagree 110% with both of your comments above. I feel my boat behind my 2017 F250 with the 6.7 currently. I traded in my 2016 F150 with the eco-puke, the heavy duty tow package and 3.55 gears for my F250.Quote:

No way I would trailer long distances with a F150 pulling 9000 lbs plus on a regular basis.
Too each his own I guess...give me 3/4 ton all day.

I've been wondering when the chrome wheels will make a come back. I LOVE the look and can't wait to see more hitting the market. I think I've seen an all white SL with chrome wheels.Quote:

Boost did great pulling a 9k 2 car hauler, 3/4 ton diesel is the only thing better, I've had them all. My puke had 3.73's and 35" toyo mt's too.

Killer boat. I’d tow it with my tahoe. I’m amazed at how well it pulls my SL. I think the newer trailers have a lot to do with it. I’m coming from a 2015 Diesel super duty and still think the Tahoe does great. 11 mpg loaded too...
I like the steps and hand rails on the trailer. I end up jumping onto the bow from my trailer on the boat ramp. I’ve never busted it big but it’s coming.
No opinions are like buttholes, everyone has them, but I don’t go around showing mine to everybody. If I didn’t like his wheels I prob just wouldn’t say anything about them. But I guess where you come from things must be different than where I’m from.Quote:

My curiosity about them was satisfied and heck, it gave DFTR a chubby because he is getting excited now for a chrome wheel comeback!
Stop being snowflakes! I really don't feel like it's a problem to put a tiny qualifier in an overall compliment.
I have no doubt 99.9% of people can take any compliment with a qualifier on this forum.
Just an observation that qualifiers are used here often.
Not a big deal, carry on.

Big blue truck w/some chrome wheels . . . . nice.
Some blue color in that big boat sporting some some chrome wheels . . . . nice.
Matches. Looks good to me.
So let's see someone flying through the air on that big ramp that thing will throw.
I hadn't seen the pic of the truck with the boat/trailer. I'd just seen the boat/trailer alone. :-PQuote:

I'd rather be behind the boat myself!
Congrats on the new boat DTB. Drop dead gorgeous.
I've got an SE on order for April, moving from a maxed out Tige Z1. Planning on using similar colors, dark graphite and steel blue flake, just in a different config.
Hell yeah. Congrats.Quote:
