2000 Supra Boats Legacy — Las Vegas, Nevada 89131

A 2000 Supra Legacy at Las Vegas, Nevada — Lake Mead's diet of sun and flat water — asking $27,900 through Pop Yachts. The Legacy was Skier's Choice building a bridge boat before the market had a name for it: a 21-foot direct-drive hull, Indmar power around 330 horses, engineered for a soft, consistent slalom wake with an adjustable wake plate that lets you coarsen it for boards. Owners still describe it as the best slalom boat they have owned, with kids skiing, tricking and wakeboarding behind the same hull in one afternoon. As a definition of the family tow boat, that sentence is hard to beat.

The argument against comes from Supra's own faithful. On the brand forums the SunSport is named the better hull for wakeboarding and weighting down — the Legacy's wake stays ski-polite even when you ask it not to. Supra owners also report recurring vapor lock on hot days (annoying rather than fatal), gelcoat cracking on some hulls of this era, and — the orphan's problem — thin factory support for boats this old. None of that is disqualifying at the right price. Which brings us to the price.

$27,900 for a 2000 Legacy is a bold ask. Sister hulls of the same vintage have been advertised in the low teens, less than half this number, so either this boat's hours and history are exceptional or the seller is testing the market's patience. Ask for the engine hours and the service file before you drive to Nevada; a desert boat has usually led an easy mechanical life and a hard cosmetic one, and the upholstery will tell you which this is.

The honest comparisons frame the ask. At the bottom of the same ladder, the 1988 Ski Nautique does the slalom half of this boat's job for $16,900 less:

For $1,600 more there is the 2001 Tigé 21i, the direct rival that answered the same two-sports question with a hull-attitude plate instead of a wake plate:

And if the family's habit has already tipped from skis to boards, the 2005 Air Nautique 226 with factory ballast and a tower is $7,100 further up:

The wider field lives on the powerboat shelf. But if one hull genuinely has to serve a skier and a boarder without a committee meeting, survey this one first — with the price conversation ready:
