Seems like a pretty good deal, a bit under book. Does anyone have experience with this particular boat? Wake, weighting, handling, etc...

that thing is a piece of shiz. I'm not sure that thing will float.

why is it a piece of "shiz". Looks like a pretty good vessel to me.... 96 supra? Anybody else have any HELPFUL thoughts?

A friend has this same Supra Comp. He loves it. They are nice boats when weighted will give a good wake and decent room. Overall they are great for the money spent

Very nice boat with a good looking interior. I would have the whoel boat checked out by a good boat mechanic to make sure there isnt some hiddne problems that you wont notice for a few weeks. Then get him to come down a grand or so and you will have gotten a bargain.

Around here (Nashville) 1988 mastercrafts with no tower that are in crap condition still go for $9k.

I looked at a 1982 Ski Supreme that they were asking $6500 a few days ago!

Cool, thanks for the tips...I don't actually live in the state that the boat is in, I'm just looking for next season and trying to get the most information about a variety of boats before I get one. I like this one because it is fairly new at a decent price. I see the mastercrafts go for 15000 or more for that year. The nautiques are just too much for that new of a boat.

Thanks again

It is a Supra Comp TS6M. Do a search on TS6M and you will find plenty of info.

whirly5master,

that piece of ??"shiz"?? is actually an awesome boat. what is shiz anyways? did you not listen to snoop dogg's press conference telling people that those types of words are getting old? you know, like "forshizzy my nizzy" and the "izzle fizzle dizzle".

but anyways, its quite like a 92 nautique that a buddy has, and i must say, with 6-10 people in the boat that wake is BIG, and fairly free of wash. its fun. all youll need is a pole.

agfan12, That hull is different than the Launch. The older Supra Sunsport and Saltare has the same hull as the Launch.

Jimmy F, My B, thanks though

How can you tell it is a TS6M? I thought the only difference was the bigger motor which the ad doesn't say.... If it is the TS6M and not the STS, it is well below book. The TS6M is booked out at around 16K, whereas the STS is around 12K. Just a thought...

Sorry I guess the ad does say that it is 260 HP. NADA says the STS is rated at 285 and the TS6M is 310. Must be a STS, any thoughts?

I have the same boat, and I was happy with it! I was able to load it up with about 1000 lbs of lead and water, but there are some limitations.

The sloped nose can take water over it in super coppy water or even a bunch of weight in it. There is also an extreme shortage of storage space. The wake does have a nice shape and it is a fun boat however 11K with no tower I would be a little suspicious - sounds high to me.
