2026 Supra SL 450 – Performance Refined for the Modern Wake Era
The 2026 Supra SL 450 exemplifies premium craftsmanship and balanced performance within a spacious 23.5-foot design. Supra has consistently led the towboat industry by pairing driver-focused innovation with surf systems that allow total control of shaping and ballast adjustments right from the helm. The SL 450 integrates these traits into a boat that feels powerful, confident, and luxurious—whether you’re towing riders through crisp morning sessions or relaxing with family in the afternoon sun.
Design and Layout
This Supra’s dimensions strike a perfect balance of stability, agility, and social comfort. At 23.5 feet in length and 8.5 feet across, its interior accommodates up to 17 people without sacrificing balance or storage capacity. The seating layout emphasizes flexibility: lounge-style seats convert easily for forward or rear-facing views, and under-seat compartments provide ample space for boards, ropes, and safety gear. Durable marine upholstery ensures longevity under heavy use, and the thoughtful finishing details add a refined touch throughout the cockpit.
Every corner of the SL 450’s design feels intentional. The bow offers deep seating and armrests for safety and comfort underway. Integrated cup holders, storage for anchor and gear, and non-skid flooring throughout the walkways make it ideal for active days on the lake. Supra’s helm architecture is intuitive, giving the driver a clean dashboard and clear sightlines. Touchscreen technology simplifies every adjustment, whether controlling ballast levels, lighting, or music.
Power and Performance
Under the deck lies the powerful Indmar Raptor 6.2L V8 delivering a broad 450 horsepower through a reliable V-drive configuration. This system creates optimal balance and thrust for clean takeoffs and customizable wave profiles. Supra’s performance hull technology ensures predictable handling, minimizing bow rise and maximizing efficiency even when fully loaded. Riders benefit from clean, well-shaped waves that are long and powerful with customizable push, designed for both wakeboarding progression and laid-back surfing.
The SL 450’s surf capabilities shine thanks to Supra’s advanced wake management system. It automatically balances ballast and trim to create symmetrical waves with adjustable length and height. Whether fine-tuning with the Supra SmartPlate or refining ballast distribution, this boat consistently produces waves that suit both beginners and professionals. Combined with smooth throttle response and tight cornering, every run feels crisp and confident.
Comfort and Interior Features
Inside, the SL 450 radiates a sense of premium usability. Plush seating configurations promote social connection while large storage areas keep the space uncluttered. Ambient lighting enhances the mood for late-night cruises, while the tower-integrated sound system delivers rich, clear music even at speed. Thoughtful details like phone charging ports, climate control touches, and softly textured flooring make extended days on the water more enjoyable and less tiring.
The driver benefits from a modern digital cockpit with touch controls designed for immediate response. Adjusting ballast, switching from wakeboard to surf mode, or setting presets for riders happens seamlessly from the helm. The combination of analog reliability and digital precision ensures seamless transitions between activities.
Build Quality and Engineering
Supra’s legacy of innovation lives in every layer of construction. Using high-quality composite materials, the hull remains light yet durable, reducing vibration and improving efficiency. Reinforced stringer systems keep the frame rigid under load, supporting consistent wakes even when heavily ballasted. Every component—from the stainless hardware to the tower’s fold system—has been engineered to withstand the rigors of frequent use.
Durability is matched by service accessibility. The Raptor engine’s design allows easy servicing and diagnostics, a major advantage for long-term owners. Supra’s commitment to lifecycle support ensures that your investment continues delivering premium performance for many seasons to come.

Comparison
2026 Supra SL 450 vs MasterCraft X24, Malibu 24 MXZ, and Nautique G23
The 2026 Supra SL 450 represents a modern benchmark in the 23–24 foot towboat category. Designed for riders who demand premium surf and wake performance, it stands alongside well-known competitors such as the MasterCraft X24, Malibu 24 MXZ, and Nautique G23. Each of these models commands strong attention in the high-performance wake market, but their approaches differ in technology, ride quality, and overall ownership value. The following comparison examines how the SL 450 stacks up in performance, design, innovation, and value.
Performance and Handling
The Supra SL 450 features a 6.2L Ford Raptor by Indmar engine rated at 450 horsepower, offering robust power with smooth delivery whether surfing, wakeboarding, or cruising. Compared to the Malibu 24 MXZ and Nautique G23, which offer similar power outputs, the SL 450 utilizes SmartPlate™ and Swell Surf 3.0™ systems for intuitive wave shaping. This combination allows precise control for both new riders and competitive-level setups. The boat’s deep-V hull and AutoWake® technology further help maintain consistent wave symmetry across different crew weights, a notable benefit over the manual weight adjustments often required on other brands.
Build Quality and Design
Supra has a reputation for structural integrity, and the 2026 SL 450 continues that legacy. The composite construction eliminates wood in favor of precision-molded fiberglass stringers, reducing long-term maintenance. The hand-finished interior integrates triple-density foam and premium vinyls similar to materials used in high-end automotive seating. While the MasterCraft X24 and Nautique G23 share comparable craftsmanship, Supra brings competitive finish quality at a slightly lower price bracket, emphasizing durability without compromising comfort.
Technology and Innovation
Supra’s Vision Control System with dual touch displays provides a streamlined command center, placing ballast, lighting, and surf systems within intuitive reach. The interface offers seamless integration with compatible mobile devices and user profiles for different riders. The Malibu 24 MXZ offers a similar digital control concept but requires menu navigation across multiple screens, while Supra’s dual-display layout reduces complexity during operation. In addition, the Supra Launch System and auto-latching bow and stern anchors simplify setup before each run — details that improve ease of use and onboard efficiency.
Comfort and Amenities
Passenger space and ergonomics are vital factors for buyers comparing towboats in this category. The SL 450 provides generous seating for up to 17 people with plush lounge areas, convertible seat backs, and convenient in-floor storage. Ventilated seat bases and Chill Tech™ vinyl help keep surfaces cooler in direct sunlight. The MasterCraft X24 competes closely in upholstery quality but lacks Supra’s ventilated seating and integrated chill zone layout. The Malibu 24 MXZ offers a similar social configuration but falls slightly behind in available storage volume.
Warranty and Ownership Value
Supra provides a limited lifetime hull warranty and a five-year bow-to-stern coverage package, consistent with premium-class protection. Compared to competitors, Supra’s warranty terms match or exceed most programs, including MasterCraft’s five-year plan and Malibu’s limited coverage. This strong warranty support, combined with dependable local service at SouthTown Watersports in Charlotte, North Carolina, ensures long-term confidence for buyers investing in a performance towboat.
Overall Value and Buyer Insights
When performance, technology, and comfort are equally important, the 2026 Supra SL 450 offers a compelling balance. It delivers power and surf versatility on par with boats costing significantly more, while integrating innovative systems such as AutoWake®, Swell Surf 3.0™, and the Vision Control Dash as standard equipment. The competitive price-to-feature ratio makes it especially attractive for buyers seeking premium performance without exceeding the budget often associated with the Nautique G23 or MasterCraft X24. Combined with exceptional build quality and dependable local support from SouthTown Watersports, the Supra SL 450 stands as one of the strongest 23-foot wake and surf boats available in the 2026 model year.
