Tell me why I shouldn't buy a a DD Supra Launch
I don't need heaps of storage space
I take a max of 5 people out at a time boarding.
I am after wake quality and size
So start boat bashing

I love mine.. Very easy to weight and you can just keep adding and adding weight. Wake size and hardness increases with more weight, but never looses its shape.

CBrown - I've been on Sean's Launch with 250 in the back, stock ballast full and 6 people in it and It's P.H.A.T!! - Keep adding weight and it'll keep getting bigger.. Smooth ride, tracks great, planes in no time, holds speed, plenty of power and all round great quality.

Only thing that lets it down is the driver... - Just kidding Sean..

The wake behind this boat was rated the best by the magazines when it's weighted properly. The thing I like about the wake is it is smooth and has plenty of transition to it. I have been behind boats where the wake has a couple of inches of vert at the top, and that's not how it is supposed to be. You should be able to cut hard into the wake and fly way out into the flat. Not cut hard, hit the wake and pop straight up.
Fill the factory rear ballast, put a front sack in the ski locker, put two 350 sacks next to the engine...you'll be a very happy wakeboarder. I have riden behind Nautiques, Mastercrafts, Malibu's and they don't have the smoothness that the Supra does with this weight set up. Plus, the Launch drives great with the weight. Other boats drive sluggish, take long to plane, etc. Be sure to get a new prop though. The factory prop is usually not enough. A prop with more surface area will give you better speed stability, and lower RPM's at 22mph (which means fuel savings). I run this much weight, with an ACME 209 prop, and I swear I don't need Perfect Pass. The boat maintains speed nicely, and is easy on the gas tank.
Some cons: it's a big boat, very heavy. You'll need a big truck to pull this monster. It's about 4500 lb's on the trailer.

I've got the SAME boat that Craig does and I have had up to 3400lbs of weight in it... monster wake man.

CBrown,

There is no reason not to buy a Launch, it's a great boat.
