New Supra Sl

Following^ I had the 15x13 in SA and could see where 440 would be needed. Curious on your prop question.

Question regarding engine choice in this boat.

If you did not want to pony up for the SC option, would the 400 be enough given that the torque spec isn't much different than the 440? You could easily weight this boat past 10k lbs, and with its 1.5:1 transmission ratio, I'm wondering how well the 400 would do getting to wakeboard speeds with max ballast. Not worried about top speed, so with a reprop would it be okay with the 400?

I struggled with this decision initially also. To go from 400 to 440 its a $6130 upgrade. I'm coming from and SE with the 2775 prop, boat weight listed at 5500 pounds. The SL is listed at 5600 pounds, and I will prop with the same 2775. To me, the 400 seems like too large of a regrettable decision.

I wish I would have went with the 550 on my 2017 SA. I reproped to a 15x11 and still have to dump to 60% to be able to wakeboard. I do have the enzio sacks though and I only have the 400.

Wow, 15x11 is an AGGRESSIVE prop! Still need to dump weight to wakeboard with that prop on an SA 400? This makes me think the 550 is an absolute requirement in the SL. I really don't think you could tell the difference between a 400 and a 440 given the similar torque curves.

As an aside, how much top end did you lose with the 15x11 Cactus?

All the Supra's are ordered with the 575 since we are at high elevation and is a must with full ballast. The Moomba's are ordered with the 400 since it's a costly upgrade to the 440 when looking for a smaller budget. If you can afford the 440 or 575 it's well worth it IMO.

Keep in mind he is running the Enzo's which would be at least 1500 additional over stock pounds.

I have the 440 in my SE with 700lbs of lead. I run the 15x12 prop with little issue surfing unless we have a boat load of people. But at wakeboard speed even with auto launch I have to drop some weight to get to speed. The 575 would be best if your going to weight it much beyond stock ballast.

It came from the dealer with the 15x12 or 12.5. I went from 35 mph to 34 mph wot at 5400 rpm. It has no problems surfing even with 10-12 people and ballast full as long as the weight is distributed correctly. Mainly having enough nose weight. That is the only thing that I would change. But $16000 extra for a 550 could be to much just to wakeboard with that much weight. Not to mention we don't wakeboard that much. But I would love to see the wake

Good call. I did not notice that.
