    Default 2017 Supra SA400 Build

    I'm new here and wanted to start a build thread of my new Supra SA. I previously had a 2006 Mastercraft X15 for 10 years.

    2017 Supra SA400

    Exterior Colors:

    Gunmetal Flake - Originally ordered with silver flake. Went back and fourth a lot.
    Britney Blue
    White - Went with white as an accent color. I was thinking about black as well.

    My last boat was red and black. I wanted to change it up and go with blue this time. I'm very happy with how the colors turned out.

    Interior Color:

    I went with the darkest options: Light Graphite, Dark Graphite, Charcoal Accent. I'm not too worried about it getting hot being in Washington.
    I didn't want a lot of color so I went went with blue piping and added the blue panel accent.

    Flooring:

    Seadek. I hate carpet in boats.

    Engine:

    I thought about going with the 450 but I couldn't justify the up charge when it's just a tune. The 400 should be fine since most the time I'm at less than 1500' of elevation. I ordered the boat with the stock ACME 1235 and bought an OJ 948 that I will put on. If the 948 is not aggressive enough I'll switch to a 945.

    Tower:

    Upgraded to a white tower to match the stripe on the hull and added the PTM clamping racks.

    Stereo:

    Ordered with no stereo options. I prefer to add my own components but will keep the interior JL's. I did add the transom remote and steering wheel controls.
    Tower will be 4 Wetsounds Rev 10's in white powered by a SD2
    Interior speakers will be powered by a SYN-DX4
    Sub setup is yet to be finalized but it will either by four 8" subs in a ported box or two 12" in sealed box.

    Cover:

    I went with a custom Evolution cover over the stock unit. The main reasons were the Evolution is made of Sunbrella (vs Surlast for the stock), the ability to customize the cover and it's a true towing cover. Fortunately Evolution is in the area and was able to pattern the boat (anyone with a SA can order a cover from him now). Also had a platform cover made.

    Here are the options:

    - Color: Charcoal
    - Openings for cleats
    - Provision for a hang tie to the tower
    - Blue accent stitching

    Trailer:

    I went with a fairly basic trailer. Only options being the underbelly spare and aluminum tread plates.

    Miscellaneous:

    - Swell System
    - Dual Battery's
    - Heater
    - VR-140 Mirror

    Here's what I didn't order but seriously considered:

    - Docking light. I decided a hand held spot light would function adequately.
    - Underwater lights. I can always add them later.
    - 18" wheels on the trailer.
    - Runway lights.
    - Trailer backup camera.

    I got a build slot in October and picked it up from the dealer at the beginning of December. It's going to be a long winter

    I'll be adding all of the mods and additions that are happening over the winter.

    Looks awesome.

    Completely jealous Evolution is local to you! I talked to him on the phone a couple times as I wanted to get a cover for him and skip the factory cover on my boat but he doesn't have a pattern for the Craz and isn't sure if/when he will.
    Boatless for now

    Really nice colors.

    Those covers are sweet. How much was that?

    Did you consider the SE or SG?

    It will probably be $900-$1200 depending on the boat size and options. The charcoal color, cleat access and custom stitching is all extra.

    Yes I demo'd the SE, SG, SA. If money and size was no issue I would have gotten the SE. The SA fits in my current garage (barely) and I thought it had the best wake. I think the SE is better than the SG unless you prefer the traditional bow. The SE has the best surf wave out of the box. I think the SA needs a little extra weight for surfing so I got 300 lbs of lead when I only have a few people. It ultimately came down to the SA meeting all my needs and fitting in my garage.

    Here's a shot with the cover. Cory (Evolution) said the wrinkles will come out once it warms up. The cover stretches when it is first installed to take a "set" to the boat.

    So awesome and congrats! I love that blue in the sun and it's a great fit with the flake. Heck of a change from the X15.
