Wakeboard Boat Review
Supra Boats‘ Launch 242 is a big, comfortable, well-appointed boat for people who want plenty of space for plenty of people. At just over 24 feet in length and with a 15-person capacity, it’s the biggest boat in Supra’s lineup, and this lounge-centric monster has what feels like acres of wraparound bench seating that maximizes space and social potential. We love the flip-up seating that converts dead space to rear-facing seating, and there’s tons of storage under every seat. The 242 is also luxuriously appointed. The Vision Touch screen houses rider presets that automatically set your ballast, speed and wake plate settings through a single button. And driver presets adjust the helm to your specifications, including seat height, screen display options and even climate control. Cup holders and speakers are everywhere you look, and durable vinyl with stylish accents finishes off the plush interior. The 242 also has one of the sharpest profiles on the water. With its traditional bow, low profile, flowing lines and new metal flake gel coat options, the 242 was made to stand out on the water. After your last set, flip on the LED lighting for a cruise as the sun goes down, and relax with space to spare.
The Supra Launch 242 is the best wakeboard boat for you if: You’re looking for a spacious boat with a sharp profile and all the luxury appointments.
