07 Sep 2018 MasterCraft XStar | THE NEXT FIRST
2018 MasterCraft XStar
Introducing the new icon. Completely redesigned and rebuilt, wakeboarding’s original high-performance boat brings it to 2018. And by “it” we mean a radical new hull design for unparalleled wakes and the FastFill Ballast System to get them rolling in under three minutes, plus a new custom rudder for next-level-nimble handling. Add to that an intelligently designed, comfortable interior that includes even more storage for all day sessions with everyone.
The XStar serves up the biggest, baddest wake in the industry—plus more high-end extras as standard than any other boat we make. This includes: the ZFT4 Tower, our innovative dual screen control, a 4th mid-ship ballast tank and the FastFill Ballast System, a next-generation 5500 GDI Ilmor Engine with 2:1 transmission and a premium audio package. Welcome to the new era.
For 50 years and counting MasterCraft has forged the future so we can have fun. We put it all on the line to create every product—to put that power in the hands of other enthusiasts, technical perfectionist and athletes. This project is about that endless pursuit of progression.
In the North Carolina high country, we lined up six of wakeboarding’s heaviest hitters for a private, closed-water session. Their mission? Ride the ultimate wake. Unlock the perfect line. Watch what kind of mayhem happens when you mix raw talent, perfect conditions and the boat that started it all—the MasterCraft XStar.
