Supra Owners

[finman]

I am looking at purchasing a 22v Supra 2002 thru 2005. Anything I should look out for when looking at the boat?

Thanks,

Finman

Hey. Just noticed you were looking for a used 22SSV. I'm not sure if you've seen it but I have one for sale here:

The boat is in great condition. I'm just over in Arkansas and can help with delivery if needed. I'm in the Rogers/Springdale area a lot. Let me know if you need any more info or if you have questions.

Supra hasn't changed much on the 22SSV since 03, same basic design, same hull, deck, etc. I would just check engine hours, how the boat was serviced, vinyl condition, how clean it is, etc.

Thanks for the info Jon. That is one that is on my list to look at. Will let you know when I can get over there.

t- MINUS 30 minutes before Curtis sees Supra in the Subject line and chimes in

Saw it yesterday The only thing to look at is the price, and then look at your wallet, then look at yourself in the mirror and know you got a great boat with everything you "really" need for a considerbale amount less than the big 3.

The only thing I've heard of being wrong wiht a few is the TPS (throttle psotion sensor) I've heard of quite a few being replaced under warranty. Also note that on every supra I've been on, mine included the quick connects on the sacs leak unless they've been "fixed"

I'm not a fan of the double up seting either. It takes up valuable storage space.....I turned it into a speaekr box holding 2 10's.

Thanks forthe info guys. I have never owned a wakeboard boat. Have driven other boats for 25 yrs. I have experience driving a 24' runabout, 38 scarab, 54' bluewater cruiser so I dont thing handling the boat will be a problem.
I am looking for a wakeboard boat to get the kids into water sports.
I have been slalom skiing for several years but havent wakeboarded in a while. My main concern on a boat is fit and finish, build quality, ride quality and reliability. I am only familiar with wakeboard boats from what I have seen on the interenet. Never even ridden in one.
I am not sure what the double up seating is.
The range of boat for me was spending around $35k meeting around 22' long, and years 2002 thru 2005. Supra seems to fit in this range.

Again thanks for the info,

Finman

Darn! I should have bet the under. That was quick Curtis..

I have noticed on some Supras it has a tab that has a hydraulic ram on them. Others I have notices that have a tab that has 2 metal braces on them. Are these adjustable while driving?

[Jon]

Only the wakeplates with the hydraulic ram can you adjust when moving. The others you have to srew up or down by hand.

I think Jon Adjusted that last post by hand - twice. But he is right. The wakeplate is a very usefull thing. I am another 22ssv owner - 2003. There isn't much to tell - Adam & Jon covered most it. If the sensor hasn't gone out by now - 200 hrs plus - its most likely ok, the sac thing anyone here can tell you how to fix it, if its not fixed already. I went to extreme's on that one. Replaced the rear sacs with tanks.
Too bad it wasn't a year from now - I might be selling
Have fun shopping

acurtis_ttu,

Not to shanghi this post but do you have any pics of your 2 x 10" subs? As I understand it you have them under the rear seat. Amp size etc. I'm looking to throw a sub and amp in my 03' and I'm looking for ideas. I got leaky bags as well (lousy way to go through life!). Was thinking about GG bags or a cheaper equivalent. Thanks...jg
