When it comes to wake boats that blend technology, strength, and comfort, the 2026 Supra SL 450 stands as a defining model. Measuring 23.5 feet in length with a 102-inch beam, this machine delivers a wide, stable platform built to create perfect wakes and a smooth, dry ride. Its Cyanic Mist exterior commands attention on the dock, while the Tan interior sets the tone for relaxed luxury. Offered exclusively by SouthTown Watersports – Lake Norman in Cornelius, NC, this boat is built for active families, longtime riders, and anyone who loves time spent behind a quality towboat.
Power and Performance That Delivers
The heart of the SL 450 is the Indmar Raptor 6.2L V8 pushing a strong 450 horsepower. This engine brings consistent pull no matter how the boat is loaded, making it ideal for large crews who run full ballast. Its torque-rich delivery gets riders up quickly and sustains stable speeds for expert-level runs. The Raptor 6.2L is also known for its reliable cooling systems and fuel efficiency at cruise, allowing longer sessions with fewer stops at the marina. Paired with Supra’s surf architecture, the SL 450 uses onboard ballast and adjustable plates to shape waves that cater to any skill level. Wakeboarders benefit from tall, firm wakes that stay clean at rope lengths up to 80 feet, while surfers can switch sides instantly using the Supra Launch System. Every adjustment is made through an intuitive touchscreen interface, allowing riders to move seamlessly from one ride style to another.
Design and Comfort Built Around the Crew
Inside the 2026 SL 450, every feature considers the passenger experience. The Tan interior is practical yet elegant, offering seating for up to 17 people. Contoured bolsters, multi-density foam, and premium stitch patterns make long days comfortable whether you’re in motion or anchored in a Lake Norman cove. Cupholders, storage compartments, and grab handles are placed exactly where you expect them for convenient function during active sessions. The helm offers a driver-centric layout with dual touch displays, navigation tools, and efficient control placement. Supra Command lets the captain manage ballast, speed, lighting, and surf shape at a glance. The panoramic windshield provides great visibility both forward and to the rider, increasing safety during high-traffic weekends on Lake Norman.
Technology for Efficiency and Control
Supra’s dedication to onboard technology goes beyond performance. The SL 450 incorporates smart steering, integrated cameras, and rider presets that simplify operation for new users. The functionality of the Supra Launch System means the captain can switch surf sides without turning the boat, keeping the ride smooth and uninterrupted. The silent cabling and well-insulated engine bay reduce vibration, letting passengers converse naturally even at speed.
Luxury Details That Define the Experience

Bluetooth connectivity, charging docks, and customizable lighting create an environment that fits the mood of any day on the lake. The Cyanic Mist hull looks modern and sleek both underway and moored, playing beautifully under changing light conditions.

Comparison
2026 Supra SL 450 vs Malibu Wakesetter 23 LSV, MasterCraft X24, and Nautique G23 Comparison
The 2026 Supra SL 450, available now at SouthTown Watersports on Lake Norman, continues to define high-performance wake and surf design in the premium 23-foot category. For buyers comparing the Supra SL 450 against other leading names like the Malibu Wakesetter 23 LSV, MasterCraft X24, and Nautique G23, key distinctions in engineering, comfort, and value help show how Supra continues to deliver top-tier performance with exceptional overall value.
Performance and Handling
Powered by a 6.2L 450 HP engine, the Supra SL 450 provides balanced torque delivery and responsive acceleration suited for wakeboarding and wakesurfing. Compared to the Malibu Wakesetter 23 LSV, which typically features a Monsoon M6Di engine producing similar power, the Supra’s combination of the Indmar Raptor 6.2L and Swell System refines wake shape and size with more granular adjustability. Against the larger MasterCraft X24, the SL 450’s length and hull geometry deliver tighter cornering and easier trailering while still producing competitive wakes. The Supra’s ride quality remains predictable even with full ballast, a highlight for riders who appreciate consistency day after day.
Construction and Build Quality
Supra employs a highly rigid composite structure and all-fiberglass stringer grid to eliminate flex and improve longevity. The precision hull design, featuring an aggressive bow profile, enhances efficiency in a variety of water conditions. While Malibu and Nautique also use composite construction, Supra integrates CNC-milled precision within key hull sections to ensure symmetry and durability. Buyers seeking a low-maintenance ski and surf boat will appreciate that the SL 450’s foundation is engineered for longevity with less vibration and structural noise compared to similarly sized competitors.
Standard Features and Onboard Technology
The 2026 Supra SL 450 is equipped with extensive standard technology, including a dual touch-screen Command Center, power-assisted driver’s seat, JL Audio sound system, and the AutoWake 3 system that automatically adjusts ballast and pitch. In comparison, the MasterCraft X24 and Nautique G23 require additional packages to match this level of integrated control. Supra’s all-digital interface and intuitive software simplify operation—ideal for families and multi-sport riders who desire easy setup with minimal manual adjustment. Malibu’s Surf Gate and Power Wedge systems remain excellent innovations but typically come with additional cost tiers, whereas Supra keeps performance software standard.
Comfort, Design, and Functionality
The SL 450 offers a spacious 23.5-foot cockpit, convertible rear seating, and premium materials throughout. Supra’s Chill Tech vinyl stays cooler under the sun compared to traditional marine vinyl, adding real comfort for long days on Lake Norman. When compared with the G23’s luxury-focused interior, the Supra still commands attention for its clean layout and practical usability—particularly the transom walk-through and large swim platform, which enhance accessibility and movement onboard without compromising space.
Value, Warranty, and Ownership Experience
Supra backs the SL 450 with a comprehensive limited lifetime hull warranty and up to five years of full component coverage. By comparison, Malibu and MasterCraft offer strong warranties but require optional coverage for certain electronics or upholstery. Supra’s pricing structure—especially at SouthTown Watersports—typically positions the SL 450 as a better overall value in its segment, giving owners premium features and power without the higher entry cost often seen from competitors.
Why Choose the 2026 Supra SL 450
Buyers seeking a new wakeboard and surf boat that delivers advanced control systems, refined power management, and luxury-grade fit and finish will find the Supra SL 450 to be one of the most balanced boats in its class. Its combination of intuitive technology, build integrity, and comprehensive standard equipment sets it apart from the Malibu Wakesetter 23 LSV, MasterCraft X24, and Nautique G23—making it a smart choice for those who value reliability, advanced surf systems, and long-term support.
