WaterSki Magazine

In answer to the traditionally basic interiors of slalom-specialist ski boats, Supra introduces the all-new Comp 20. It asks why a tournament-quality ski boat can’t come with both performance and luxury, and answers “Why not?” With everything from stainless-steel accents and etched cleats to the leather-like vinyl upholstery, this ride’s stylish, feature-packed interior will please three-event tournament skiers just as much as the high performance behind the ski boat.

A direct descendant of the legendary Comp TS6M, the newly redesigned Comp 20 makes an art out of blending high-end skiing performance and luxurious comfort. The wakes behind this boat are easily crossable and small enough for shortline slalom sets. Our testers used the standard hydraulic wake plate to change the wake density to their liking.

At under 21 feet, the Comp 20 is quick, nimble and responsive. Yet despite its 95-inch beam, the boat is deep for a 20-plus-footer and handles chop surprisingly well. You can also expect a well-balanced turning radius.

The Comp 20 uses its interior space wisely with a convenient beverage cooler under the rear-facing box seat. We also loved all the little things on the Comp 20, like the new blackwood dash with billet accents and the under-dash flashlight.
