Out of these three, which one and why. Looking at all three. 18 se450 May be in the works. Obviously it’s the most expensive. But the 17 supras and the makai are evenly priced

Sure

Thank you!
If it was me, I’d buy my 17 SA again in a heartbeat. Holds plenty of people, and a wave that’s hard to beat. Plenty of room for more stereo gear if you want it, or lead, or anything else. Doesn’t take ridiculous amounts of weight to get a fun wave.
As much as I’d love an SE, I just don’t need that much room. And it’s take that much more weight I’d have to carry when I’ve got a small crew.
2019 Makai with the 450
Space, performance, wave and wake.
Makai with a 450 trumps previous generation SE with a 440. I have owned both. Currently have Makai. 575 in the old one would make the choice more interesting, still would likely lean to the Makai.
SL is a killer boat. No doubt. Wave is delicious.
Makai is massive. The biggest of all. If you came from 247 land you’re going to want room...

What about value down the road??

If you can tolerate the size, SL is a great boat. The only thing you would be missing is a transom walk through if you were getting something older than 19. Which you would probably have to in the Supra.
It is an awesome feature. I will say it again this Makai is a marked improvement over my 2016 SE450. Do know however that boat did not have auto wake or 3.0.

The 17s and 18s SE would be hurt the most. I was looking at an ad for an 18 SE, 40 hours, owner traded for a 19, I think it was just dropped to 104k.
By 2020, the SA will follow the redesign route and follow the same value as the SE.

But I can also buy a used makai for 86

Sounds like you have 2 great choices in the 18SE and the 18 Makai.
So what are you leaning towards? Have you been on that year/model boat for any test rides?

I would have the same feeling.
It’s a 24’ boat, it’s deep, most buyers will upgrade to the extra ballast for a boat that size (1000-1500#), then start adding all the people that will be looking to ride on that new boat.
A lot of weight on a 400. I sure it will run with the motor and prop, but I would spend the extra cash and take the bigger motor.

Ahhh. The winter thoughts we all have of how much weight can we throw in there and how great it will feel cruising down the lake.
Summer yet?

Awesome ride!! Do you know the % of the tint on it?
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
All black or ultra black also?
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Man we need some more pics of this thing. I definitely want to see that Black Flake!!
The tint looks like 20%....I was asking bc I am going to have mine tinted before I take delivery and I was curious as to the % vs the black as that will be similar to mine. Yours looks great!!

How many hours?
100 is avg. He broke it in for you and traded for 2019 . . . . Good for you.
