2007 Mastercraft X-45

Where to go?

Start up front. With the SuperFly design, you’ll have room to ask along three more, as the X-45’s square bow offers up more seating room than any traditional triangle shape. Gear stores below twin, lifting rotocast seatbacks, while drinks keep cool in the self-draining cooler.

Or, get behind the wheel. Wrap your fingers around a billet throttle knob which controls up to 450 horses of raw pulling power. Gaze into a custom-matched dash cluster which puts electromechanical gauges and tip-lit toggle switches at your disposal. To the driver’s right are the keys to board immortality; ballast switches kick on the 750-pound under-floor system.

Better yet, get behind the transom. The X-45 tosses back massive, defined wakes that float riders to the flats. With a new, refined ZeroFlex tower system, pulls are pure, as is the sound from the standard Clarion/JL audio system howling to the tune of 500 watts. Slow it down to 11 mph, hop on a wakesurfer and you’ll think you washed up on Huntington Beach, with clean curls that allow you to surf as long as your legs hold out.

Whatever spot you choose, there is really only one way to go: the X-45.
