MasterCraft was founded in 1968 and is based in Vonore,
Tennessee and is one of the largest boat manufacturer. MasterCraft boats are popular for use in water
skiing and wakeboarding. In its first year of operation,
MasterCraft only built 12 boats. But the boat design was
so revolutionary that the company began getting order
after order for its boats and MasterCraft soon became
recognized as a force in the tournament ski boat market.
Today Thirty-eight years later, MasterCraft is producing over 3000 boats per year.
MasterCraft's President & CEO, John Dorton, and Vice
President of Worldwide Sales, Scott Crutchfield, work with
hand in hand with their teams to innovate. They step out
of the boardroom and into their bindings to ensure their
company is a top boat manufacturer for the wakeboarding
and waterskiing market. This constant
evaluation and focus on the customer has made the soul of
the company more attuned to skiers needs with each passing
year.
MasterCraft Boats is by far the largest producer of inboard ski,
wakeboard and luxury performance powerboats in the world.
It sells boats in 25 different countries and has over 100
domestic and international dealers. Every MasterCraft
comes from Vonore and hundreds of owners, skiers and
boarders visit the company's headquarters every year to
see the birthplace of their most prized possession. Since
wakeboarding began, MasterCraft has been one of the most
influential companies in the industry. They've gotten that
way via relentless product innovation and continued
investment in the sponsorship of some of the biggest
events and best athletes in our sport. MasterCraft's 2003
introduction of the latest generation X-Star shook the industry and continues to be one of
the most talked about moments in wakeboarding history.
MasterCraft Boats pioneered a long list of firsts in the ski
boat industry, including major innovations like triple
fins, the PowerSlot gear reduction transmission, the
WearGuard ski pylon, the swim platform, all-fiberglass
construction, electronic fuel injection and a patented
in-tank fuel pump. In 2002, the company's introduction of
the MasterCraft exclusive Cadillac LQ9 led to the AWSA's
only 5-event hull/engine certification in history. In
2003, MasterCraft rewrote the record books towing 3 world
records behind the ProStar 197 and introduced the revolutionary new AP-1
wakeboarding hull. In 2004, the MariStar 280 VLD was voted
Boating magazine's "Boat of the Year" and 2004 was also
the year that MasterCraft introduced the first twin-engine
inboard in the watersports market - the MariStar 280 STS.
In 2005, the X-Star was voted "Wakeboard Boat of the Year"
by WakeWorld.com for the third consecutive year. 2005
brought forth a new "day boat" knows as the MariStar 245 /
X-45 and MasterCraft also ventured into the saltwater
market with its Saltwater Series. Now, MasterCraft is
introducing a new MariStar 200, X-2 and has added 3 more
boats to its line of Saltwater Series boats.
Some Top Model Boats from MasterCraft
X- Star - It is the most successful model from
MasterCraft. This is what one of the fan of X-Start boat
had to say "It's a great boat, great size. 22 Feet is just
about the right size. It holds a lot of people and is
comfortable. That boat was built purely for the wakeboard
wake." Probably considered one of the top 3
wakeboard boat of all time.
X-30 - Is a big boat, just redesigned it for this year.
It's just now hitting boat shows and it's even a little
bit bigger. It's roughly the same dimension, but they were
able to go in and pick up a little more interior space and
some new styling on it as well.
X-2 - It remains a strong favorite. X-2 is very
competitive in pricing with most of those price point
boats. It's a little bit more, but the quality
construction and all makes it a better value. So that's
another reason why this boat is doing strong business.
Mastercraft Prostar - Without
question one of the top two ski boat lines along with the
Ski Nautique series from Correct Craft. If you are
into waterskiing, do not pass up a test drive in this ski
boat.
The sucess of MasterCraft can be attributed to the
dedicated team work of management and staff. The
management team is very involved with their employees.
It's one of the very few companies, the only one this
size, where the management team is out boarding. When they
are done building boats and running the company, they head
out to the water. They are right on a lake.
