Anyone ride behind an old Supra Saltare or Sun Sport... How is the wake? Forced to sell my Toyota v-drive and looking for a cheep boat w/a good wake and room. I know i'll be ghetto but as long as I cun ride it will tide me over for a year. HELP!!!!!!!!!

Is that wake in your profile behind your sunsport? If so how much ballast did you have in it if any? The wake has to get bigger than that...doesn't it? Is the sunsport and saltare the same hull if not is one better than the other???

Shane your obtuseness has made my day. Thank You! Since my first response zipped well beyond your reach I'll offer another. The wake behind sunsports is great (I cannot speak to its similarity to a Saltare however). The wake in the profile picture is behind a 1992 weighted with about 1400lbs+2 people. I highly recommend it as a very economical alternative to the $30/40/50K wakeboard boats of today.......... Although it obviously will not be able to provide the pretentious ride you are so deserving of.

I owned a Saltare and loved it. I didn't feel it needed a lot of weight (but it did help) and shape was nice. I ran 600 pounds and a few friends, loved it! I would own another one in a heartbeat as they can be had for cheap for what they are. Mine had 454. Gotta love that too.

The Sunsport is the same size and hull design as the Supra Launch. The wake behind the Sunsport should be the same as a Launch.
