Comparison
2026 Supra SA 450 vs Malibu 23 LSV, MasterCraft X24, and Nautique G23 Comparison
The 2026 Supra SA 450 represents Supra’s commitment to performance, design, and innovation in the 22–23-foot wake and surf category. Available at SouthTown Watersports on Lake Norman, this 22.5-foot surf-ready machine competes directly with well-known premium models such as the Malibu 23 LSV, MasterCraft X24, and Nautique G23. Each of these boats targets wakeboard and surf families looking for state-of-the-art technology, refined styling, and proven reliability. However, examining them side by side reveals how the Supra SA 450 delivers serious value and capability for its size and price point.
Performance Comparison
Powered by a 450 horsepower engine, the Supra SA 450 achieves a fine balance between torque delivery and overall efficiency. While the MasterCraft X24 and Nautique G23 may offer slightly larger displacement options or supercharged upgrades, the 450 HP setup in the SA delivers strong surf push and consistent wake shapes without unnecessary fuel consumption. The SA’s optimized V-Drive hull design ensures predictable turning and steady tracking at various speeds, a quality often praised by professional riders testing at Lake Norman and other inland wake destinations.
In practical comparison, the SA 450’s 22.5-foot length makes it slightly more nimble on tighter waterways than a longer X24 (24 feet) or G23 (23 feet). This translates into easier trailering, storage flexibility, and reduced fuel costs—all without noticeably compromising wave quality or weight distribution.
Construction and Build Quality
Supra has developed a reputation for robust hull laminates and high-end interior materials. The SA 450 benefits from precision-molded construction, composite stringer systems, and heavy-duty upholstery resistant to UV and water exposure. Malibu’s 23 LSV offers similar craftsmanship, yet Supra’s integrated billet aluminum accents and premium components distinguish its finish, giving a modern, performance-oriented feel. Moreover, Supra’s unique noise-dampening features and solid hull structure provide a quieter cruise compared to some competitors.
Technology and Standard Features
Supra’s tech integration is one of its strongest competitive points. The SA 450 comes standard with Supra Vision Control—a full touchscreen helm system managing ballast, speed control, surf settings, and lighting. In contrast, the Malibu and Nautique models offer comparable control systems, but Supra includes many features as standard equipment that require upgrades in other brands. These include the Swim Platform Camera, Patented AutoWake System, and Clamping Board Racks.
The stereo system, by JL Audio, arrives fully tuned at the factory with subwoofers and tower speakers, whereas many competitive models require costly add-ons to achieve similar output. The Supra SA 450 also includes features like Chill Tech vinyl for heat resistance—helpful for boaters spending long days on Lake Norman’s open surface.
Warranty and Ownership Experience
Supra supports the SA 450 with a strong factory warranty rivaling MasterCraft and Nautique’s protection programs. The limited lifetime hull coverage and comprehensive five-year components warranty simplify ownership and help retain long-term resale value. Service access through SouthTown Watersports ensures prompt local support, making maintenance schedules convenient for North Carolina buyers.
Value Proposition
When comparing base prices and standard feature lists, the Supra SA 450 frequently comes in below the cost of similarly equipped Malibu 23 LSVs and Nautique G23s. Buyers secure premium surf performance, state-of-the-art control technology, and rich interior appointments without stretching into higher price categories. The result is strong value in the performance wake segment, wrapped in a refined 22.5-foot package suitable for both professional and recreational riders.
Conclusion
In summary, the 2026 Supra SA 450 delivers a balanced combination of performance, innovation, and overall ownership value. Compared to competing models like the MasterCraft X24, Malibu 23 LSV, and Nautique G23, Supra provides more standard technology, confident handling, and a refined build at a competitive cost. For buyers shopping the Lake Norman area or researching high-performance surf boats, the SA 450 from SouthTown Watersports stands as a smart choice aligning premium capability with sensible investment.
