    May be the same one? I’m not sure on exact hours. Just knew it was around 100. It’s from Tn I believe

    So what steered you in that direction as opposed to the Makai? Did you get an extended warranty? I really liked the Makai, but after 4 years in my Mojo, which I love, I just want to step up to something nicer.

    It’s just a nicer boat In my opinion. I like the styling of the SE over the makai. Colors were a factor also. I know the surf system works well. I’m sure the makai does as well. I could’ve saved about 5000 from a new makai but I personally think it’s worth the extra.

    For sake of information: Makai interior materials are nicer than what you’re used to on your Moomba. It’s a step up—the same vinyl that went into the 2018 Supras before they switched to ChillTech in 2019.

    I owned a 2016 SE450 for 170 hrs, and now a Makai that has 35 hours. The differences are aesthetic to a degree. Example: grab handles are simple chrome on Makai, fancy billet type stuff on Supra. However....and this is interesting....we prefer the “cheap ones” because our kids heads, our elbows, etc hurt a lot less when we bang them on the cheap curved chrome ones. Aesthetically inferior, practically superior. Same for the flip seat brackets. Knee killers on SE, non-factor on Makai. The vinyl patterns are more elaborate on the Supra. The gunnels are fancier. The seat bottoms are narrower on Makai, yielding a larger floor, and more “open” feel. The driver footwell has a side on Supra, none on Makai.

    The walkthrough is a major advantage to Makai. We really like that. Storage favors Makai big time. Stereo in Makai is much less fancy than Supra touch screen, but is dead simple to operate. I actually prefer it (kinda like cruddier grab handles).

    Supra is def a bit fancier, but less user friendly and open. Perhaps prettier, but less well thought out in the human-ness department (example: phone holders in Makai are brilliant). Freeboard is much bigger in Makai.

    If you ordered a Makai, the 450 is worth every penny.

    Swell 3.0 is better than Flow 2.0, but ballast arrangement in Makai is better. They both make a huge wave when dialed. Swell will clean up a little bit easier. Negligible advantage overall once you dial.

    I have a unique perspective having significant time in both. I see the merits of both. It’s really what your priorities are, and which one “captures” you.

    Thanks for the thorough input. I spent a lot of time in the Makai at the Birmingham boat show and like I said, I liked it, but after being in a friends 2018 SE last summer I have Supra on the brain

    I have a much longer horizon to buy a boat then most people so I can see how prices are next year or the year after that and decide if a used 2019 Supra is still worth the extra money over a Makai.

    I'm more interested in an SL than an SE but it seems that 2018 SLs are selling for more than 2018 SEs, why is that?

    I am not "in the know" on this but I would assume the 2018 SEs "value" is suffering due to the all new redesigned 2019 SE. The SL was a new model in 2018 so it is holding its value. Either way I feel like there is a lot of value for people buying 2018SEs at the lower prices as they are great boats.

    I was told at the boat show that the SL would probably be getting a redesign as well in the next year or 2.
