SUPREME S220

The smaller sibling of Supreme's $240, the all-new S220 is an all-around wake-making machine designed to provide more bang for less bucks, and it delivers on several fronts, and in a size that can be more approachable for a lot of buyers.

While the "S" moniker has been in the Supreme lineup for years, the latest iteration is anything but similar to its predecessors. The S220, along with its bigger 24-foot sister, features higher freeboard, a hybrid bow shape, and a clean hullside and sheerline that give it a solid, defined look on the water. Simply put, the S220 looks like it can create some serious wakes and waves, and thanks to its all-new running surface, it does.

The EZ-V hull is similar to the Opti-V hull from sister company Centurion, which features 30 degrees of deadrise at the stem and 20 degrees at the transom. This gives the S220 a solid and smooth ride in choppy waters and helps the transom displace more water, in turn helping to create sizable and symmetrical wakes and waves. Combine the EZ-V hull with up to 4,400 pounds of internal ballast capacity and room for 12 on board, and the S220 is capable of producing wakes and waves for beginners to advanced riders and all those in between.

FLIPPING THE SWITCH

FLIPPING THE SWITCH

Much reporting focuses on reasons why one might choose electric marine power. The issues of range, speed, noise levels, winterizing and ethanol challenges, lake restrictions, environmental concerns and more all must be resolved on an individual basis. Little gets said about how a boater choosing to repower with electric actually gets that accomplished. Is it DIY? And if not, how does it get done?

STICKING POINTS - Anchoring alternatives, and why you will always need a traditional anchor.

My brother-in-law likes to fish offshore reefs, and the process once entailed navigating to a mark, dropping a float, and idling upwind or up-current to drop the anchor in hopes the set would drop us back to the float.
