I would like to thank everyone on this forum for all the help and support general knowledge that IÂ’ve learned here. We are currently on our 3rd new Supra since 2020. Our current boat; 2024 se550 has been problematic and a lemon at best. In 130 hours itÂ’s had its share of issues. Currently in the shop getting another transmission and drive installed. Our first one went out July of this year, after getting it back in August the next one lasted 3 days and same issues again.

We have had the thrusters replaced under warranty last year as well.
Numerous gel coat issues and the new tower is not very rigid and I have quite a few gel coat cracks from where it mounts.

We really liked the wave on this boat and several other things. Realistically it is not worth the money when compared to our first new Supra which was a 2020 sl450. Imo the new tower and stereo is a miss, the lighting and jl audio was night and day better on our 2020 and 2022.

The other issue IÂ’ve had is with the boat mate trailer. For whatever reason they went to a greased bearing hub vs the oil bath. Every time we Would tow the caps would come off and sling grease all over the boat. After numerous attempts by the dealer, I ended up wadding up a microfiber cloth and wedging it btw the wheel cap and hub. They have stayed on but on last inspection they were all full of water.

My wife and I have came to the point where we donÂ’t trust the reliability of the boat to warrant keeping it. Between my dealer and skiers choice we have gotten several phone calls, not seeming to want to address the problem, it more seemed like they were interested in making sure we wouldnÂ’t write a review etc.

Long story short we just placed an order for a 2025 centurion ri245. While there are certain things I prefer on the Supra, they donÂ’t justify ordering another one. We did demo one this summer for a day. Wave was definitely better than the Supra even when I had lead in it. The real selling point was we got 8gph vs 17-18gph in the Supra. Lighting and stereo is night and day better as well.

I really hate to leave the Supra family but there just hasnÂ’t been enough change in the last few years and this last boat has soured me on Supra and our local dealer.
Thanks again for all your help
