2024 Supra SL 450 Overview
The 2024 Supra SL 450 stands at the forefront of wake and surf performance with a design that blends athletic power and refined comfort. Supra’s SL model has long been recognized for its balanced handling and commanding wakes, and the 2024 edition takes that foundation even further. With its 24’5” length, deep freeboard, and aggressive lines, the SL commands presence both on the trailer and in the water. Styled with precision and engineered for functionality, every contour of the hull serves a purpose: to shape the cleanest, most powerful wakes in the Supra lineup.
Powered by Indmar’s Raptor 6.2L engine, the SL 450 delivers an assertive 450 horsepower through a V-drive configuration. Torque builds effortlessly for strong hole shots, and when fully ballasted, the SL retains its composure no matter the load. Indmar’s advanced cooling and performance systems also provide consistent reliability season after season, giving owners confidence to push their sessions without hesitation.
Performance and Handling
The combination of AutoWake, Smart Plate, Swell Surf, and Supra Launch Systems makes this boat a precision machine for both seasoned riders and families looking to progress. AutoWake uses onboard sensors to monitor pitch and roll, automatically adjusting the ballast to maintain the ideal wake shape—not just initially, but continuously throughout the ride. The Swell Surf System allows instant switching from left to right surf sides, while the Smart Plate refines both wave length and steepness.
When cruising across Lake Norman or other Carolina waterways, the SL glides with impressive smoothness. Supra’s performance hull efficiently cuts through chop, maintaining comfort and quietness inside. Drivers appreciate the responsiveness of the steering and throttle, as the SL feels nimble despite its 24-foot length.
Interior and Design
Inside the SL 450, luxury meets durability. The wraparound lounge transitions seamlessly between lounging and setup for social time at anchor. Convertible seating enables quick reconfiguration for spotters or relaxed companions. The high-back helm chair gives the driver elevated visibility, and Supra’s Vision Control dashboard integrates all key functions—ballast, navigation, lighting, and surf settings—into an easy-to-read, glove-friendly touchscreen.
Premium interior materials like Chill Tech vinyl stay cool under the sun while resisting stains and moisture. Deep storage compartments handle boards, ropes, and gear, while details such as stainless-steel accents, RGB lighting, and a premium audio system with multiple zones create an immersive onboard environment. Every inch of the interior is designed for comfort and easy clean-up after a long day.
Technology and Innovation
Supra continues to refine how boaters interact with surf and wake systems. The SL 450’s Vision Control System allows fine-tuning of every aspect of the ride—from ballast percentage to surf side balance—directly from the helm. Combined with AutoWake sensors, riders can trust that each session starts with perfect symmetry and ends with consistent wave quality.
Connectivity features ensure seamless integration of smartphones and devices, while reliable instrumentation displays everything from depth and diagnostics to navigation data. Every component is selected for maximum reliability on the water and easy maintenance when dockside.
