A NEW GENERATION OF PERFORMANCE AND COMFORT
The 2025 Supra SL 450 captures what serious riders demand—a powerful inboard built around precision handling, next-level surf systems, and the comfort to share it all with family and friends. At 23.4 feet in length with a broad 8.5-foot beam, the SL 450 strikes a rare balance of size and agility. It’s the kind of wake boat that feels equally at home carving glassy mornings as it does running a full load of ballast and friends for an all-day session. Supra has consistently refined the SL series, and the newest 450 embraces decades of design expertise with fresh technology and styling touches that keep it ahead of its time.
POWER THAT PERFORMS ON AND OFF THE WATER
At the heart of the SL 450 beats the Indmar Raptor 450—a purpose-built 6.2L V8 producing a confident 450 horsepower. This engine was engineered specifically for tow sport duty, providing instant low-end torque and consistent pull no matter how fully loaded your ballast may be. The Raptor’s efficiency is a hallmark of its design, allowing longer sessions between fill-ups without sacrificing performance. Its whisper-quiet operation and refined vibration control make every idle and acceleration seamless. From deep starts to responsive speed corrections, the Raptor 450 ensures the wake always feels predictable and strong.
ENGINEERED FOR CUSTOMIZED WAKE SHAPING
Supra’s performance DNA runs deep, and the SL 450’s surf technology showcases that expertise. With the combination of Supra Launch System, Smart Plate, and Swell Surf 3.0, riders can dial in wave height, length, and push with pinpoint precision. Adjustments can be made on the fly via the touchscreen helm, giving the driver total command over every session. Whether dialing down the lip for beginners or building a competition-level curl, the SL turns every outing into a personalized surf experience. Combined with the deep hull design, this configuration ensures clean, symmetrical wakes with minimal wash, keeping the fun consistent for each set.
INTERIOR BUILT AROUND SOCIAL DESIGN
The SL 450’s interior is more than just seating—it’s a social space built for connection. With room for up to 17 people, every detail feels deliberate: from the convertible rear-facing seat that turns the observer bench into stadium seating, to the deep, cushioned sun pads and oversized storage compartments that disappear beneath the floor and seats. The soft-touch vinyl resists UV damage, heat buildup, and wear from heavy use, allowing the cabin to maintain its premium look season after season.
Ambient LED lighting adds just the right glow for those late-afternoon rides, while stainless hardware and carefully positioned grab handles ensure the cockpit always feels secure and refined. Supra’s attention to ergonomics is apparent in the captain’s chair—a perfectly contoured command seat paired with a fully digital helm.
THE DRIVER’S EXPERIENCE
Climb behind the helm and the technology becomes second nature. The Supra Vision Touch System ties together surf control, speed, ballast, and entertainment, displayed on crisp high-resolution screens. Configurations can be saved for multiple riders, ensuring everyone in your crew gets a ride exactly how they like it. The helm layout prioritizes visibility and functionality, aligning analog and digital cues for precise navigation. The throttle responds with smooth confidence, allowing fine control even in choppy conditions.
DETAILS THAT DEFINE THE SUPRA DIFFERENCE
From bow to stern, the 2025 SL 450 reflects Supra’s commitment to perfection in every surface and feature. The signature Supra Tower folds easily for storage, supports multiple board racks, and integrates high-end audio that transforms the lake into your private concert. The transom area, finished with a rear walkthrough and swim platform, makes transitions between sets quick and easy. Non-slip decking ensures steady footing, while the in-floor cooler keeps refreshment duty close at hand.
Every surface feels deliberate, and every texture serves both style and function. The combination of rich upholstery stitching, precision-fit panels, and sporty detailing gives the SL a sense of confidence that matches its power. The cockpit layout encourages connection—passengers can relax, watch riders, or lounge between turns without ever feeling cramped or disconnected from the action.
ON-WATER PERSONALITY
The SL 450 handles with distinct character. Its deep-V hull provides a comfortable ride in chop but turns with agility that belies its size. The weight distribution, tuned to support ballast versatility, means the boat remains balanced under any load. The moment it comes on plane, you can feel the design working beneath you—tracking steady, cutting through rollers cleanly, and maintaining precise steering. Drivers appreciate how easy the SL makes towing and landing riders, allowing smoother pickup lines and perfect positioning after each fall.
A SOCIAL CENTER, ON THE LAKE
Supra engineered this model for more than just performance—they created a gathering place for those who find meaning in shared water time. With space for 17 passengers, there’s room for everyone to enjoy. The layout invites conversation, laughter, and music. Thanks to the premium JL Audio sound system, every note from bow to transom comes through clear even when powering down the lake under throttle. The SL 450’s thoughtful storage design ensures that gear, coolers, and personal items tuck away neatly, keeping decks uncluttered and safe.
DESIGNED FOR LONG DAYS AND EASY NIGHTS
Fuel efficiency meets convenience, and the quiet hum of the Raptor engine sets a relaxed tone. The 2025 SL 450 isn’t just about making great wakes—it’s about sustaining great days. Every fixture is designed with longevity in mind. Stainless steel hardware resists corrosion, and sealed electrical components ensure durability in wet conditions. The digital systems are intuitive enough for new owners to master quickly, while professionals can explore advanced customizations with ease.
STANDOUT STYLE
Visually, the SL 450 leaves zero doubt about what it’s built for. Clean, muscular lines sweep from bow to stern, framed by crisp angles that catch sunlight and reflections alike. Supra’s bold color packages combine metallic sheen with deep, rich tones, emphasizing the athletic silhouette. The tower complements the profile with an aerodynamic stance and integrated lighting, tying together performance and presence in one cohesive form. On the trailer or floating just off the dock, this boat demands attention in all the right ways.
TAILORED FOR RIDERS AND FAMILIES ALIKE
Whether you’re setting up surf sessions for beginners or pushing competition-level tricks, the SL 450 adapts effortlessly. Parents appreciate the spacious layout, extended sun pads, and cooler accessibility for all-day comfort. Riders love the precision-engineered wakes and immediate throttle response. It’s a rare combination—technical enough for demanding use but comfortable enough for laid-back cruising when the day winds down.

Comparison
2025 Supra SL 450 vs Moomba Makai, MasterCraft X24, and Malibu 23 LSV: A Detailed Comparison
The 2025 Supra SL 450, available at SouthTown Watersports in Charlotte, North Carolina, continues Supra’s legacy of designing premium performance boats for riders who expect more from their time on the water. Measuring 23.4 feet with a 450-horsepower engine, this model competes directly with the Moomba Makai, MasterCraft X24, and Malibu 23 LSV. Each of these boats delivers high-end wake and surf performance, but key differences in construction, features, and technology make the Supra SL 450 a standout choice for buyers seeking advanced control and luxury without unnecessary compromises.
Performance and Handling
At the heart of the Supra SL 450 is the Indmar Raptor 450 engine, offering balanced torque and responsive power. Compared to the Moomba Makai’s standard 400 HP powerplant, the SL 450 provides stronger mid-range pull, particularly useful for riders transitioning between wakeboarding and wakesurfing. The Malibu 23 LSV’s Monsoon M5DI engine produces similar output, but Supra’s optimized hull design—paired with the Swell Surf System—delivers more customizable wave profiles with minimal setup time. Meanwhile, the MasterCraft X24’s larger displacement hull supports heavier ballast loads but comes at a substantial price premium and slightly reduced agility at low speeds.
Build Quality and Materials
Supra’s attention to durability shows through its hand-laid fiberglass construction, deep freeboard, and refined interior finishing. The SL 450 integrates high-density foam flooring and billet aluminum accents, resulting in a modern, ergonomic cockpit. In comparison, Malibu’s 23 LSV emphasizes plush comfort yet uses more vinyl in high-traffic zones, which can demand more maintenance over time. MasterCraft’s X24 maintains a similar level of finish but can add considerable weight, influencing trailer handling and fuel efficiency. The Moomba Makai, positioned as a more affordable option, delivers solid performance but lacks some of the material refinement found in Supra’s build.
Standard Equipment and Technology
The 2025 Supra SL 450 comes fully equipped with Supra’s Vision Control dash—a triple-screen setup that consolidates essential functions like surf control, ballast management, and navigation. Keyless ignition, a premium JL Audio sound system, and power-adjustable driver seating are all standard. By contrast, Malibu and MasterCraft reserve several comparable features for optional packages. The Supra system’s intuitive interface and over-the-air software upgrade capability also give it a distinct edge in user convenience and long-term technology support.
Innovation and Comfort
Comfort-focused design is a major differentiator in the SL 450. The Chill Tech vinyl remains cool under direct sun, an advantage over traditional marine upholstery. Supra’s AutoWake technology automatically calibrates ballast and pitch adjustments for consistent wake shape, a feature that competes directly with Malibu’s Surf Gate and MasterCraft’s SurfStar systems. While each brand offers strong surf technology, Supra’s automated calibration process simplifies operation for new owners and riders alike.
Warranty and Support
Supra backs the SL 450 with a five-year limited warranty that includes hull, drivetrain, and components, aligning with the coverage from both Malibu and MasterCraft. Owners also benefit from Supra’s long-standing dealer network, and in this case, full local support from SouthTown Watersports in Charlotte ensures responsive service and maintenance expertise.
Value and Ownership Advantage
When considering the price-to-feature ratio, the 2025 Supra SL 450 strikes an ideal balance. Buyers receive premium power, advanced automation, and upscale comforts at a cost typically below similarly equipped MasterCraft or Malibu models. The inclusion of top-tier technology as standard equipment, combined with Supra’s proven build quality and stylish design, gives the SL 450 a compelling advantage for those who prioritize both performance and practicality.
Conclusion
Compared to the Moomba Makai, Malibu 23 LSV, and MasterCraft X24, the 2025 Supra SL 450 delivers a well-rounded blend of power, technology, and craftsmanship. For buyers in North Carolina seeking a new 23-foot class performance boat that offers both premium features and strong long-term value, the SL 450 available through SouthTown Watersports stands as a thoughtful and rewarding choice.
