Guessing the Supra team was busy this weekend wrapping up the last PWT tour stop in Boise Idaho. Probably rolled back into Tennessee early today.

I dont understand why they would get rid of the cooler in the floor and make it like the Makai with regards the shoe storage and a trash can.

I use my in floor cooler for drinks every time out. I dont even use the insulated Supra Cooler bag in there. I place a rubber stopper like circle over the drain to keep the ice and water in the cooler from draining out and fill it up with drinks and ice and it lasts all day in the hot Texas weather. So much easier to get into the floor than have the cooler under the bench seat and have to ask someone to get up every time you need a beer or the kids need a Gatorade. Not to mention 3 cases of beer, water, ice and gatorade is good for 100 lbs of in floor ballast...until you get closer to the end of the day when the beers gone.

I would say it’s probably for a good reason because it’s happened to every boat.

In my Makai I removed that little tray, moved the batteries over next to each other and an RTIC 20 fits perfectly in there.

I recall someone on Facebook talking about a soft-sided ? RTIC 30 ? cooler fitting in the center - it was a 2018 SL.

Anyone done this?

When you see how much room there is in the port helm, I think the battery move is worth it.

I suppose you could throw an 18 pack and ice in the tray and garbage can.

That is basically what I did. Maybe it was a 30? But I think it’s a 20.

Goose mentioned a ton of good info on transmission ratios above. I have one more question. My current 2009 Supra 24SSV says it has a 1.46 to 1 V drive and a 1 to 1 transmission. When you are talking about the 1.76, are you talking transmission or V drive? Is the trans still 1 to 1 and the V drive is 1.76? I'm looking at upgrading to a new Supra and I'm trying to figure out if we'll be able to get my 76 year old Dad up on a Slalom ski like we can in our current Supra. He needs to get up fast or he can't get up. He can't drag in the water waiting for the boat to plane. Our current Supra has the 340HP ETX CAT and the boat weighs roughly 4000lbs. That is 11.6 HP per pound. A Supra SL with a 450 Raptor is 410HP which works out to 13.65 HP per pound. It get worse with the heavier SE at 15HP per pound. Those numbers make me think these new boats will be awesome for me and my kids to Surf and wakeboard but I'm worried I can't get my Dad up on a slalom Ski. I'm sure the 1.76 and props play a part in all of this as Goose explained. I'm trying to figure out what exactly is 1.76, the V drive or trans? I'd like to compare to my current Supra.

When can we expect to get some info on the 2020 Supras and the redesigned SA? My 18 SL550 is itching to be traded in on a 2020

You know you cant wait. Just trade it in blind.
