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?

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.

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.
