So yeah, me and my buddy ended up buiying a 1986 supra comp TS6M. Its in good condition with new floor and stringers in 2000. We went to the storage yard today to put a heavy tarp over it and i took some pictures of the interior. Picked it up for $6400 and i believe it was a good deal even though we didn't get to see it on a lake.

I just wanna thank all the people that answered my millions of questions on here, and help us in finding a solid boat for this season.

We'll be taking the deacls off and replacing them with something newer, and i'm sure i will be attempting my first fiberglass project soon for a tower box.

The tower is not my favorite but its deffinitly functional and very solid.

Heres some pics.

Nice find ! Looking at the 1st pic at least it floats (I think). I kid ! That cockpits funky, it reminds me of a plane.

Jon, Welcome to the Supra family! Any boat that floats and moves on its own power is better than being SOS (stuck on shore). Enjoy your Summer.

Im with you in MI. Just itching in my pants to ride. Maybe, just maybe late April but I hear we're hitting 60 on Friday so we'll see what happens.
