Supra LaBrisa Boats for Sale
The Supra LaBrisa is a classic direct-drive inboard from Supra’s early lineup, designed to deliver a smooth, consistent ski wake with a touch of added comfort and style. Known for its solid construction and predictable performance, the LaBrisa offered slalom skiers a dependable ride and handling that made it popular among families and recreational skiers alike. With its classic lines, inboard power, and balanced hull design, the Supra LaBrisa remains a respected model for those who appreciate the early era of precision-built ski boats.
The Supra LaBrisa was introduced during the late 1980s as part of Supra’s expanding range of inboard ski boats built by Skier’s Choice in Maryville, Tennessee. It shared design influence with the well-known Supra Comp TS6M but was developed to provide a slightly softer ride and more versatile interior layout. Measuring roughly 19 to 20 feet in length, the LaBrisa featured a direct-drive configuration that balanced performance for slalom skiing with comfort suitable for small families and recreational use.
Most Supra LaBrisa models were powered by inboard V8 engines such as the PCM 351 Ford or Indmar small block, producing between 240 and 260 horsepower depending on configuration. The boat’s running surface produced a soft, clean wake that appealed to intermediate and advanced slalom skiers. Supra’s use of hand-laid fiberglass, composite stringers, and high-quality upholstery materials helped the LaBrisa maintain its reputation for strength and durability.
During its production years, Supra refined the LaBrisa’s interior layouts and graphics to align with the brand’s premium image. Features such as full instrumentation, teak swim platforms, and well-finished interiors made it an attractive option for buyers seeking a stylish yet practical ski boat.
By the early 1990s, Supra began transitioning toward models with expanded versatility, and the LaBrisa was eventually replaced by newer designs that catered to both skiing and emerging wakeboarding needs. Today, well-maintained examples of the Supra LaBrisa are appreciated by collectors and enthusiasts for their classic handling and straightforward design that delivers an authentic inboard skiing experience.
