Comparison
2026 Supra SA 450 vs MasterCraft X24, Nautique G23, and Malibu 23 LSV – Premium Performance Wake Boats Compared
The 2026 Supra SA 450, available at SouthTown Watersports in Charlotte, North Carolina, represents the latest evolution in high-performance wake and surf boats. As one of the top models in the 22–23-foot range, it competes directly with models like the MasterCraft X24, Nautique G23, and Malibu 23 LSV. Each of these boats is aimed at serious wake and surf buyers looking for a balance of performance, technology, and luxury. This comparison highlights how the Supra SA 450 stacks up against these leading competitors in performance, design, and overall value.
Performance and Handling
Powered by a 450-horsepower engine, the Supra SA 450 delivers strong acceleration and consistent pulling power for wakeboarding and wakesurfing. The Swell Surf System combines smart automation with precision ballast control, allowing easy wave customization for all skill levels. Compared to the MasterCraft X24, which often carries a higher price point for a similar 430–440 HP range, the SA 450 offers a competitive balance of horsepower and hull efficiency.
The Nautique G23 is known for its advanced hull design and surf versatility, though it typically requires additional upgrades to match the Supra’s surf control customization that comes standard. The Malibu 23 LSV features the Power Wedge III system, offering strong surf profiles, but the Supra system’s blend of simplicity and adjustability stands out for riders who value consistency and ease of use.
Build Quality and Materials
Supra’s precision construction utilizes high-grade fiberglass, durable stainless hardware, and premium interior materials engineered for long-term use. The Spradling ChillTech vinyl used in the SA 450 resists heat buildup and wear, enhancing onboard comfort during long days in the sun. While the MasterCraft X24 and Nautique G23 also use premium upholstery, Supra’s inclusion of heat-resistant seating across all surfaces gives it a functional advantage in warmer climates like North Carolina’s summer months.
Innovation and Technology
The 2026 Supra SA 450 integrates vision-control touchscreen technology that consolidates navigation, surf settings, and media control in an intuitive layout. The SmartPlate system allows riders to instantly shape wakes and surf waves without delay. Competitors like the Nautique G23 offer their LINC Panoray display, and Malibu’s Command Center provides similar digital control—but Supra’s interface is known for its simplicity and responsiveness, minimizing distraction and setup time.
Standard Equipment and Comfort
Supra continues to lead in standard luxury features, offering heated captain’s seats, RGB lighting, a premium JL Audio package, and extensive storage solutions as standard equipment. In contrast, many competitors require added cost upgrades for equivalent configurations. The cockpit ergonomics, wide transom lounge, and convertible rear seating provide excellent flexibility whether entertaining, relaxing, or spotting riders.
Warranty and Support
The Supra SA 450 includes a five-year factory warranty covering hull integrity, drivetrain, and components. MasterCraft and Nautique offer similar coverage, but Supra’s dealer network, including SouthTown Watersports in Charlotte, is recognized for personalized service and regional product expertise—helping buyers with maintenance, surfing setup, and local lake knowledge.
Value and Overall Comparison
When comparing overall ownership value, the 2026 Supra SA 450 stands out for its price-to-feature ratio. While the MasterCraft X24 and Nautique G23 can exceed similar price tiers once options are added, Supra delivers much of that equipment as standard. This means buyers spend less time selecting upgrades and more time on the water. For those seeking a premium wake boat that offers professional-level performance, thoughtful design, and dependable technology, the Supra SA 450 presents a balanced and compelling choice.
