2025 Supra SL 450 – Designed for Performance, Built for Lake Life
The 2025 Supra SL 450 stands as a benchmark in modern wake technology and on-the-water enjoyment. Measuring 23.5 feet in length with a 102-inch beam and drawing 28 inches of draft, it delivers the size, strength, and balance that riders crave for all-day performance. Beneath its sleek exterior, a Raptor 6.2L V8 powers the SL 450 with a robust 450 horsepower, allowing this flagship model to create massive, customizable wakes and surf waves that stay clean and consistent even with a full crew onboard. This boat was designed with both precision and practicality in mind. The integrated wake system uses advanced ballast management, hull shaping, and real-time helm control to craft perfect waves for any rider—from beginners to pros fine-tuning their ride. Supra’s SmartPlate and AutoWake features work together automatically, adjusting pitch and roll to keep the wave shape exactly where you want it. Whether you’re wakeboarding in the open channels of Lake Norman or surfing behind the boat near the coves around Cornelius, the SL 450 keeps performance smooth and effortless.
Luxury and Function for Everyone Onboard
The interior experience of the 2025 Supra SL 450 is as impressive as its performance. With seating for up to 17 passengers, the SL 450 transforms every outing on Lake Norman into a group adventure. Supra’s designers ensured every seat is plush, comfortable, and thoughtfully placed for social connection and convenience. The linear flow of the lounge area, combined with quick-access storage and cooling options, helps keep gear organized and guests relaxed. LED accent lighting, premium vinyl textures, and durable flooring materials give the cabin a modern and comfortable aesthetic. The dash carries an automotive feel, equipped with dual touchscreen displays that manage everything from ballast levels to lighting and navigation. The attention to detail extends to the helm, where controls fall naturally to hand and visibility over the bow is excellent, even with a full ballast load. This focus on comfort and capability is one reason drivers love the SL 450—it’s easy to operate, regardless of water conditions or crew size.
Performance Through Innovation
Under power, the Raptor 6.2L is more than just numbers on paper. It’s built for torque, giving the SL 450 instant pull, fast planing, and efficient cruising. On Lake Norman, that translates to quick transitions between riders and effortless throttle response when loaded with ballast. Supra’s surf systems integrate seamlessly with the engine’s power curve, letting riders tune the wave height, length, and push to fit their preference. Even with its performance focus, the 2025 Supra SL 450 remains impressively stable and quiet. Sound insulation and balanced construction minimize vibration while underway, and Supra’s unique hull design keeps spray low and direction tight through turns. It’s a refined, confident performer built for those who live on the water.
Craftsmanship and Details That Matter
Every feature aboard the SL 450 reflects thoughtful engineering. From the non-skid swim platform to the transom camera for wake monitoring, every aspect serves both function and comfort. The rear-facing convertible bench lets passengers easily face the action, while multiple USB and 12V outlets keep devices charged all day. Whether it’s a quick evening cruise or a long weekend ride, the SL 450 stays organized, smooth, and capable. At 23.5 feet, storage is generous—under-seat lockers, in-floor compartments, and specialized ballast tanks all integrate without compromising passenger space. Cupholders are placed intuitively, upholstery stitching holds up beautifully against sun and spray, and integrated lighting keeps the cockpit usable even into twilight rides.

Comparison
2025 Supra SL 450 vs Malibu Wakesetter 23 LSV, MasterCraft X24, and Nautique G23
The 2025 Supra SL 450, available now at SouthTown Watersports in Lake Norman, stands as one of the most capable wake and surf boats in its class. In the increasingly competitive 23-foot segment, the SL 450 often competes directly with the Malibu Wakesetter 23 LSV, MasterCraft X24, and Nautique G23. Each of these premium models offers strong performance and technology, but the SL 450 distinguishes itself with a refined balance of price, design, and integrated innovation.
Performance and Handling
The Supra SL 450 is powered by a 6.2L 450 horsepower inboard engine, making it an ideal choice for demanding wakeboarders and surfers alike. Compared to the Malibu Wakesetter 23 LSV, which typically runs a similar power range, the SL 450 delivers more efficient torque at mid-range speeds, ensuring quicker planing and smoother transitions between rider levels. The MasterCraft X24 and Nautique G23 offer slightly larger engine upgrades, but they also come with higher fuel consumption and added weight. Supra’s SmartPlate and Swell Surf 3.0 systems allow riders to customize wave length and shape on the fly, providing flexibility across all skill levels while maintaining class-leading fuel efficiency.
Build Quality and Materials
Supra’s construction methods rely on hand-laid fiberglass, strong composite stringers, and precision-molded components that ensure durability and excellent ride quality. While Malibu and Nautique employ similar composite structures, Supra’s precision fit-and-finish and extensive noise-dampening technology make the cabin notably quieter underway. Additionally, Supra employs billet aluminum accents and premium upholstery with Chill Tech vinyl—materials chosen to resist UV damage and heat, a practical advantage for summer use on Lake Norman or any inland waterway.
Technology and Innovation
Technology defines the SL 450’s identity. Supra’s Vision Control dash merges three touchscreens that manage GPS navigation, surf settings, ballast, and climate functions. In comparison, the MasterCraft X24’s dual-screen layout offers similar control but requires more manual sequence navigation. Supra’s AutoWake technology remains one of the simplest automatic wave-optimization tools in the market. By continuously adjusting ballast and pitch to maintain the selected wave profile, the system removes much of the manual setup required on competing platforms. Moreover, integrated wireless charging pads, RGB lighting, and a premium JL Audio system come standard—features often costing extra on Malibu and Nautique models.
Comfort, Convenience, and Space
Interior space is one of the SL 450’s greatest strengths. Its 23.5-foot layout provides generous seating for up to 17 passengers, with deeper freeboard and a convertible transom lounge ideal for socializing at anchor. Compared to the Malibu 23 LSV’s slightly narrower layout, the Supra offers more legroom and flexible storage zones. The Chill Tech vinyl mentioned earlier not only looks refined but remains cool under direct sun exposure, enhancing comfort during extended days on the water.
Value, Warranty, and Ownership Advantage
Supra’s comprehensive warranty includes limited lifetime coverage on the hull and five years of bow-to-stern protection, aligning with or exceeding most warranties in this size and price class. When factoring in its extensive list of standard equipment—options that are often costly add-ons from Malibu, Nautique, or MasterCraft—the SL 450 delivers strong overall value. Buyers benefit from Supra’s proven reliability, outstanding dealer support provided by SouthTown Watersports, and a lower cost of ownership relative to similarly equipped luxury wake boats.
Final Comparison Summary
When compared to the Malibu Wakesetter 23 LSV, MasterCraft X24, and Nautique G23, the 2025 Supra SL 450 presents a balanced blend of power, performance technology, craftsmanship, and long-term value. Its refined driving dynamics, intuitive control systems, and premium finish make it an ideal choice for families and riders seeking professional performance without compromises in comfort or cost efficiency. For those seeking a new wake and surf boat on Lake Norman that combines the latest innovations with trusted quality, the Supra SL 450 stands out as a strategic and rewarding investment.
