Baller Not_The_Pug Posted December 16, 2013 Baller Share Posted December 16, 2013 Nice looking boat. What options did you get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChadW Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 @Jody_Seal I was the one there when you unwrapped that boat at performance ski and surf. Ballers, the boat looks even better in person. I was the beneficiary of fortunate timing. I was at performance buying wing gauges when he pulled up with that boat in shrink wrap from the factory.

Baller 6balls Posted December 17, 2013 Baller Share Posted December 17, 2013 Why the tandem? Does it tow that much better? I find so hard to move 'em by hand I swore singles only for me...but then I don't tow very far or often. Sharp boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller_ Bruce_Butterfield Posted December 17, 2013 Baller_ Share Posted December 17, 2013 Did you have to pay extra for that big gouge in the side or did you add that yourself? If it was easy, they would call it Wakeboarding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller jipster43 Posted December 17, 2013 Baller Share Posted December 17, 2013 @6balls I love towing with the tandem trailer. You hardly know the boat is back there. When I'm towing with a single axle, it feels like the boat is going to pop off the hitch. Besides, A meat neck like yourself should get a kick out of wrenching a tandem around by hand!

Jdubs Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 So I guess you have to know some one at the factory to get 2 Metal flake colors next to each other. Try to create that one on the Nautique website and it won't work. "You may only use the same metal flake color for adjacent flake". And yea I could certainly fish out of that boat. People be sayen - that be one sweet fishen boat and ya getten thar quick with that ZR 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller ForrestGump Posted December 17, 2013 Baller Share Posted December 17, 2013 @jdubs Regardless of what Buildaboat says, In the past you could order a 200 with two adjacent metalflake colors. We've had metalflake black next to metalflake red as well as silverflake next to the blue metalflake before. You just have to talk to the dealer.

Baller_ Jody_Seal Posted December 17, 2013 Author Baller_ Share Posted December 17, 2013 I have been known to fish out of my ski boats. Like the tandem as we do run the boat around and they trail very nice. Most single axle trailers are over sprung for the boat that they carry and tend to bounce at speed. Tandems ride nice especially out on the interstate running 85 mph. The two metal-flake colors are special order but their is one in their catalog. I tried to get the green 200 that was at the Nat's but it was already spoken for. As far as the closed bow I am a bit of a purest and prefer the closed bow and have no need to haul anyone up in the bow area. besides the under bow area is a great place to take a nap in the shade! It is cavernous ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller jhughes Posted December 17, 2013 Baller Share Posted December 17, 2013 @skierjp on the 200s I think it looks better forward up under the rub rail FWIW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Brady Posted December 18, 2013 Baller Share Posted December 18, 2013 Sitting on the couch with my wife last night watching a movie. Me. "Look at the boat. Isn't it beautiful?" Jen "Sure" Me. "You didn't even look over here at it!" Jen. "Yes I did" Me. "sure" Jen. "It had sparkly blue aqua color stuff on it. And it was a boring boat. And we have one that sinks every time we go to Lake Powell. Woo hoo, it was shiny" Damn good thing the water ski industry is not dependent upon my wife for its growth!!!!! Beautiful boat @Jody_Seal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller skierjp Posted December 19, 2013 Baller Share Posted December 19, 2013 Judas, yes you can get 2 metal flakes. You pick the Classic design, chose front and rear color ( metal flake )the same, then pick the deck color metal flake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ Wish Posted December 19, 2013 Baller_ Share Posted December 19, 2013 and folks thought the metal flake on my 87 Supra ts6m was silly. Vindication. Someone in Jacksonville FL has a sweet modern looking black/beige/gold metal flake Supra right now. Good lookn Jody!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Zman Posted December 19, 2013 Baller Share Posted December 19, 2013 @Wish I had an 87 Comp ts6m as well. Charcoal and light gray. Sold it in Orlando after I bought a 98 Supra Legacy from Bob in Sanford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ Wish Posted December 20, 2013 Baller_ Share Posted December 20, 2013 Bob is good guy and made a go of it but just couldn't weather the down turn at the peak of the recession. The sad thing was the latest Comp LTS that Supra produced for 3 event was killer. Best wake and could go head to head with any of them. See WaterSki Mag. This IS a great slalom boat and it is NOTHING like the Moomba's (no offense to Moomba owners) http://orlando.craigslist.org/bod/4251171678.html My first. A 1987 metal flake and all. Don't know of any ski boat that did metal flake back then but Supra was decades ahead of everyone else in design and style IMHO. My understanding is this edition was rare.

Baller Inboardfix Posted December 20, 2013 Baller Share Posted December 20, 2013 Correct Craft's 1986 Silver Nautique had a metal flake stripe. Additionally, Correct Craft's Bass Nautiques were metal flake as well and were produced in the late 70s through early 80s. Back to the original topic. Way to go @teamseal on getting another beautiful boat. Any truck you're in is worth more than $800 as long as you've got some cash in your pocket and Michelle by your side.

Baller Ed_Obermeier Posted December 20, 2013 Baller Share Posted December 20, 2013 @Zman I had a 2000 Legacy before I got my LXI. Great ski boat, IMO one of the most underrated OB ski boats ever made. Bought it new in 2000 and had it 8 years before upgrading. Pretty similar to the LXI but narrower beam, not as roomy. Damn shame Supra quit building slalom boats IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Zman Posted December 21, 2013 Baller Share Posted December 21, 2013 @Ed @Wish Check this... http://www.supraboats.com/history/ My wife just took a bunch of clothes to donate. My Supra Comp World Championship (1989) jacket went with it all, darn. Ed, I also went from Legacy to 2007 Rlxi. I picked up my first Supra at the factory in Sept of 1983. It was a Supra Beast inevery way - black n gray, 425 ci 330HP engine - except it was open bow and tagged as one ofvthe early Riders. Fun boat! Great barefoot boat. Then I got into the 87 Comp.
