The Supra Launch Gravity 24 SSV 2008 vs Supra Sunsport Comp LTS 2005 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Supra Launch Gravity 24 SSV 2008 measures 24,0 feet overall (2008), giving it roughly 5,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Supra Sunsport Comp LTS 2005 at 19,0 feet (2005). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Supra Launch Gravity 24 SSV 2008 tips the scales at 395 lbs — 110 lbs more than the Supra Sunsport Comp LTS 2005 at 285 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.
The Supra Launch Gravity 24 SSV 2008 carries a rated maximum of 450 hp. Engine data for the Supra Sunsport Comp LTS 2005 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Supra Launch Gravity 24 SSV 2008 carries 52 gallons versus 34 gallons in the Supra Sunsport Comp LTS 2005. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Supra Launch Gravity 24 SSV 2008 is rated for 16 passengers, while the Supra Sunsport Comp LTS 2005 caps at 1. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Supra Launch Gravity 24 SSV 2008 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Supra Launch Gravity 24 SSV 2008 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 16 passengers and at 24,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Supra Sunsport Comp LTS 2005 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 1 that costs less to run day-to-day.
