Introducing the 2025 Supra SL 450
The 2025 Supra SL 450 represents a new era of precision-engineered surf and wake performance. At 23.5 feet in length and 102 inches wide, it is designed for riders who demand an exceptional on-water experience while maintaining luxurious comfort for everyone aboard. Every contour of the SL’s profile has been engineered to produce rich, powerful wakes that can be shaped and tuned to your exact preference. This boat stands at the forefront of wakeboarding and wakesurfing design, crafted to bring together technology, durability, and unmatched rider enjoyment.
Power and Performance
At its core lies the robust Raptor 6.2L engine, delivering a commanding 450 horsepower through an efficient powertrain that was specifically developed for wake sports. The torque curve is tuned for low-end pull, getting riders up quickly with minimal bow rise and consistent wave formation. Whether you’re setting up for an early morning surf session on Lake Norman or towing a crew for a full day of riding, the SL 450’s drivetrain responds with steady, predictable power. Advanced cooling, digital throttle control, and responsive steering all combine to give the captain total confidence at the helm.
Wake and Surf Technology
The Supra SL 450 integrates Supra Launch System technologies that have been fine-tuned for effortless wake customization. Adjustable surfaces manage hull shape and displacement, helping you create clean wakes for wakeboarding or long, pushing waves for surfing. This adjustability allows riders to fine-tune both side-to-side balance and wave height in real-time—perfect for sessions where different riders want different setups. The Supra SmartPlate adjusts on the go, while onboard ballast options let you set up each configuration exactly how you like it, ensuring every outing delivers the consistency Supra is known for.
Interior and Comfort
Inside, the layout supports both performance and relaxation. With a seating capacity of up to 17 passengers, the SL 450 hosts an open bow, wraparound seating, and convertible rear lounges perfect for watching riders or hanging out at anchor. Premium upholstery, refined stitching, and durable marine finishes make every surface soft yet reliable under the summer sun. The flooring is both functional and attractive, providing traction without sacrificing comfort. LED lighting accents the mood in the evening, and the high-end sound system transforms a normal lake outing into a true experience.
Helm and Control Systems
At the helm, Supra’s Vision Control dash provides full command over performance settings and comfort systems. Multi-touch displays show everything from ballast levels to surf profiles, engine data, and navigation features—all instantly accessible with intuitive controls. It’s designed to keep operation simple and precise, helping captains of any experience level craft the perfect ride.
Engineering and Construction
Underneath the styling and technology lies serious craftsmanship. The 23.5-foot hull is engineered for maximum efficiency at surf speeds while maintaining stability in chop. The robust stringer system offers quiet, solid performance even at high towing loads. With a 28-inch draft, it balances depth with accessibility, allowing easy navigation around Lake Norman’s popular coves and sandbars. Supra’s attention to strength and quality means you’re investing in years of reliable performance whether your weekends bring you to tournaments, casual surf sessions, or long summer afternoons with friends.
Style and Design
Every visual cue of the SL 450 speaks to its purpose. The lines are sleek yet functional, integrating storage, technology, and comfort seamlessly. The transom walkthrough allows easy access to the swim platform, while cushioned sun pads make it ideal for lounging between sets. Supra’s signature details—from precision stitching to durable exterior coatings—tell the story of a company deeply committed to quality.

Comparison
2025 Supra SL 450 vs Malibu Wakesetter 23 LSV, Nautique G23, and MasterCraft X24
The 2025 Supra SL 450, available now at SouthTown Watersports on Lake Norman, stands as a premier choice among 23-foot wake and surf boats. Competing directly with the Malibu Wakesetter 23 LSV, Nautique G23, and MasterCraft X24, the SL 450 combines power, thoughtful engineering, and refined comfort for those seeking top-tier wake performance and premium amenities in a new ski and surf package.
Performance and Power Comparison
Under the engine hatch, the Supra SL 450 features a 6.2L Raptor by Indmar engine producing 450 horsepower. This powerplant delivers smooth performance across surf, wakeboard, and ski sessions. Compared to the Malibu Wakesetter 23 LSV’s Monsoon M5Di (around 360 HP) and the Nautique G23’s PCM ZZ6 (approximately 450 HP), the SL 450 offers competitive horsepower with efficient fuel management and proven reliability. The MasterCraft X24 offers higher optional power at a greater cost, but for the 23.5-foot range, the Supra SL 450 provides an ideal balance of torque, acceleration, and control for family and professional use alike.
Handling, Ride, and Surf System Technology
Supra’s Swell Surf System combines smart plate technology and customizable wake zones that fine-tune wave shapes based on rider preference. Compared to Malibu’s Surf Gate and Nautique’s NSS, the Swell system offers quick transfer times and adjustable wave symmetry accessible through Supra’s Vision Touch dashboard interface. The Smart Plate also allows for better running attitude and fuel efficiency, giving the SL 450 excellent handling even in choppy lake conditions.
Build Quality and Materials
Supra’s crafts are acknowledged for solid construction using high-performance resin-infused fiberglass hulls and composite stringers—no wood anywhere—resulting in strength without added weight. The fit and finish inside feature premium vinyl, laser-cut diamond stitching, and billet aluminum hardware. In direct comparison, the Malibu 23 LSV and Nautique G23 share similar high-end materials, though Supra integrates more standard billet components and ergonomically shaped seating configurations. The result is lasting comfort with a contemporary interior feel.
Standard Features and Interior Advantages
While most brands in the segment package key surf and convenience features as add-ons, the 2025 Supra SL 450 includes a comprehensive suite as standard equipment. Buyers receive power-adjustable driver seating, Chill Tech vinyl, RGB interior lighting, and Supra Launch System ballast exceeding 3,500 pounds. By contrast, Malibu and MasterCraft models require optional upgrades to match the SL 450’s standard specifications. The cabin also integrates a large Vision control screen with wireless phone charging, multiple USB access points, and under-seat storage with quick-dry drainage systems—details that emphasize Supra’s functional design approach.
Innovation, Support, and Warranty Coverage
Supra provides an industry-recognized 5-year comprehensive warranty, matching premium competitors such as Nautique but exceeding some in coverage transparency and convenience. SouthTown Watersports at Lake Norman backs this support locally, ensuring service ease and continued reliability through dedicated Supra-certified technicians. Buyers benefit from factory-backed parts and regional expertise, reducing long-term ownership costs.
Value Proposition: Why the Supra SL 450 Stands Out
When evaluating price-to-feature ratio, the Supra SL 450 delivers measurable value. Its included surf technology, advanced control interfaces, and performance engine present comparable capability to higher-priced competitors. Owners save on optional upgrades without losing comfort or precision on the water. The 23.5-foot length offers agility for diverse riders while maintaining ample seating for up to 17 passengers, a key advantage for multi-sport families around Lake Norman and beyond.
Conclusion
In direct comparison with the Malibu Wakesetter 23 LSV, Nautique G23, and MasterCraft X24, the 2025 Supra SL 450 presents a balanced blend of technology, performance, and design efficiency. Its strong standard feature list, reliable Raptor 450 engine, refined interior, and comprehensive warranty make it a compelling new choice for those seeking a high-end ski and surf boat that delivers long-term satisfaction and consistent performance on every outing.
