So what would everyone want to see on the new 23s?
The next Supra in the 'rotation' would be SE, but then the newer ideas will flow over to the SA, SL, etc.

I am ordering a 2023 SL this week and dealer told me no major changes for 2022 to 2023 SL.
I am wondering if the SE and SA will get the bow walkthrough/air damn.bowfiller combo. Also, if the SA/SE will get the observer cutout like the SL has (not sure if SE already has this). Finally, would be nice if they put the battery cover and flush amp rack in the SA/SE that the SL has.
Those are the features that sold me on the SL over the SA. If the SA had those features I would be looking harder at the SA.
Some things I would like to see on the SA/SE line:
As mentioned flush amp rack and battery like the SL with accessible jump start lugs.
The bow seat, arm rest, air dam config of the SL
Memory drivers seat with driver 1 and driver 2 settings
Wearable transfer switch like Nautiques have
Covered Trickle charger plug on exterior of boat ( the 22 plug set-up is horrible)
Incorporate Sonic’s trash chute for the trash in the starboard bench end with 5 gal can
Cooler compartment in OB compartment that opens into walkway, or a lifting mechanism for the floor cooler (thinking air bag or water bladder)
12v cooler option
Hinged corner cushions
Factory completed ceramic coating option
Same key for surf locker and ignition
Key/wrist FOB or phone key app for ignition
Better hinges for the transmission hatch (the only greater frustration in life is having with a teenage daughter)
Plug holder in battery switch compartment
Less useless swag. Towel was good, thermal cup was meh, and key chain went to donation. I’d rather the price be lowered the $20 those items cost.
2022 SA 450
Factory ceramic coating would be bad idea.
There are so many factory scuffs, scratches,mars and gloss correction that is required on a new boat before I would ceramic coat it.
The leather key chain is bolted to my tower and works as a rope holder.

Curious to see the new colors on both Supra and Moomba.
I'm betting the ballast is increased from 4100#s to somewhere around 4500-4750#s for the SE.
As brought up before in the 2023 Moomba wishlist, a rudder position indicator would be great. I hate going back and forth between full lock to find center.

I know some would never use this, but I'm not uppity and more DIY with finding solutions for my SA. Put this on my steering wheel a couple years ago, very simple and works great! Also, people having issues, just don't go WOT on takeoff, ease into the throttle. That does 2 things, keeps the prop from slipping so it engages better and uses less gas and it gives the driver time to correct the rudder to straight while not being under load.
I used to want a rudder indicator, however it just really isn’t that critical. Even at full lock it’s easy to correct quickly.
You get a little wiggle, but net result to rider is minimal.

My buddy just wrapped his July build on a 23 Se. Essentially has all the updated features Of the 22SL but updated ballast to 4700 lbs. The shocker is the 2023 msrp prices. His build price was 271k msrp. For comparison sake we built a 2022 sl and se before finalizing our purchase. They were within 1500 of each other with an msrp of 231-233k. We ended up going going the sl route. Essentially almost a 15% increase from 22-23.
