| the above comment is true we go to the boat show to see new stuff that mc came up with i think very few people would get alot of that crap but its great to see the new inovations there coming up weather you like them or night with. look at nautiques or anyone else same crap every year there not at all as inovative as mastercraft.

| its a good thing that MC only made one of those boats cause i think that no one would want to buy a boat that looks like that. sure there might be a few but the majority of people dont want something like that.

oregonrider, Some of us see MC's "new" stuff as gimmicky.
Just because something is new or hasn't been done before doesn't make it good.

| King of the Tigers, I agree and definetly am not a big fan of this boat. However it is good to see them pusing their design. This boat is not for me but you know if they start making special editions maybe the next one will be something that I really like.

I think the Boat looks AWESOME.........
If u could afford it and u ride, u would own it.
Most posts are from jealous individuals.............
IMO, MC Boats are VERY Expensive (I Can't Afford one), their Boats require that extra something (Bling, Bling) to attract buyers to purchase the 70-100K Wakeboard Boat.
When that Boat is 10 yrs Old, the resale will still be more than my 04 Tige purchase price....lol

I don't understand why people feel the need to rip on someone because they have a nice boat.
I can look at it like this if you'd like. You just anounced yourself as some hardcore expert wakeboarder and because someone has a better boat and can't ride as well as you they must be a poser right? This is how I see it, YOU are a freaken retard that can't make enough money to buy a boat let alone a nice boat so you feel the need to rip on someone who can.
Who cares if someone has the money to afford a boat like that. Who cares if the rims on the trailer are nice. Who cares if the boat has a bunch of useless cosmetic accessories? If you want to spend your money on these things then do it.
Who cares.

| I think it's a pretty sweet showroom boat. I think it would be cool to go up in it and look at all the stuff and the designs. No, I would probably not buy the boat. I think that was made to be a piece of art rather than an actual boat for someone to buy and use every weekend. You cannot tell me that if you saw that at a show, that you would not stop and look at it. It's something different from the norm and that's what the designers wanted.

Nice effort, I'm sure someone will give it a good home. There's plenty of people with enough resources to grab "the most extreme" anything; take the International CXT truck for example. MC is just following up on market research. It'll sell quickly.

I'm sure there are a ton of people that can afford an expensive boat but choose not to. I just get sick of the guys on here that rip someone for spending their money for a high end product and for some reason they think they're hardcore because they're a better rider.
If they are so hardcore, why don't they ride on the tour? Why don't they have a full ride with one of the big boarding companies? Because they're not good enough that's why.
Hardcore? What does that mean? I know what it means to me.

Some people have alot of money, others don't.
Some people ride really well, others don't.
Some people are cool and not self-centered, others aren't.
I think we are mostly dealing with the last one here in this post. If you ride good, thats good for you. If you have a nice boat, thats good for you. We are all here cuz we like wakeboarding, so lets not rip on people with the same interests.

I would say a TRUE wakeboarder's style is very much function over fashion.

I'm going to disagree with you on that. I believe that your boat, board, jacket, whatever should be a reflection of your PERSONAL tastes and preferences. Be it boat size, wake shape, jacket, board size/shape and yes- even the color/graphics of any of the aforementioned. Style is a matter of personal expression and how it relates to function. If function were paramount, we'd all be running around in suspenders, bowties, and pocket protectors... wearing polyester pants from sears.

I thought the boat was cool.
I myself am not one that wants to look likie everyone else.
I don't have the flow to buy an x-star like that, but I would deffinatley look at it if I did.
For all the people that are trashing the boat, don't buy it! Don't ride in it!
I am sure if someone rolled up next to your "cool" boat and asked to hang out throw a few back and talk about riding. You would welcome them with open arms, even if they had a beefy barbed wired tatto!
You can tell it is winter time everyone gets all tore up about the stupidest thing!
Only a few more months and everyone can make it back out on the water full time and stop worrying about the little stuff!
Good Day

Comments like this make me laugh.
Could I afford that boat? Nope!
Am I going to have a job where one day I could afford it? You bet.
And guess what? I want an '02 SAN when I have the money to afford what ever boat I want.
Kids are maybe jealous of another kids G.I. Joes and thus make fun of it. But I doubt that any of the opinions expressed on this X-Star having an unfortunate appearance have to do with jealousy.
That being said, sure I'd take a pull behind it in a second. But that doesn't mean I like how it looks nor would ever buy it.

It is 70 here today, but the folks in Fl, SoCal, and parts of TX are the minority when it comes to winter weather.
The tension is rising and it will only be worse as it builds up to April.
Before everyone starts riding full time some will argue that the sky really isn't blue, just to help thier boredome!

It's indigo!
I think the thread title proclaiming this boat as the "best ever" attracts undue attention. A "check this out" or "interesting idea" or similar would probably garner some better feedback.
PS. This post is the BEST EVER.

No, I would never own that boat
My next boat will be all white with just a sunsetter graphic. No tribal, or whetever else they might have in the next few years. I personally like simple boats, and I know quite a few people that also like simple boats.
that boat is hideous and IMO should not even be considered a wakeboard boat. There are tons of dudes that but their boats for the sole purpose of looking cool, and thats the type of person that would buy that boat

What is your opinion of a wakeboard boat then? No lights, No stereo, don't put any racks on it either then. My god, lets take the color out of it, while were at it, lets make it look like every other boat on the water.... What color is your car? Your House? You must not own a suit that's not blue as well? I guess that makes it easier so you only have to wear black shoes right? Do you have any individualism? Let me guess, you wear pink panties to set yourself apart Well I guess that's a start.
What a joke

i couldnt do w. out the stereo and racks those are two very needed items. the stereo part of the boat is where i like to be different and do it myself.
but taking the color out isnt a bad idea maybe the boat one color and then a logo on the side

How does a stereo help you ride?
"the stereo part of the boat is where i like to be different"
Be different? That's not allowed if your deemed to be hardcore though right? So to be different, that's ok? I thought being different was bad?
I'm not picking on you, just making a point...

spending 80k+ on a "look at me boat" is individualism?
I have lights and stereo on my boat. But thats for me and my comfort, not for everyone else to notice me.
My opinion of a wakeboard boat is anything that can pull you. But spending 10's of thousands of dollars on useless gimmicks is when you go past "wakeboard boat" and enter into "I need to feel better about myself"
Again this is my opinion.
How many guys are there on your lake that buy exspensive boats, and do nothing but drink heavily and cruise around. the places I ride at our overun with them. The less of "these" people we have buying "wakeboard" boats and causing problems on our waterways the better off we all are.
And whats wrong with pink panty's....

Second that. In fact, sold that. My old "go fast/look at me boat" was flashy and very individualistic. My new boat (CC SV211 Team) costs more and is all about function.

i actually am a fan of correct craft and i think they are good boats,All joking aside and i really dont know the difference in performance with a cc sv211 vrs. sv211 TEAM
sorry to say a TEAM boat is definitly a look at me boat. may not look the same as the x-star but im sure still a looker

x2hoss,
I see where your coming from but let me elaborate. The Team edition was the most economical way to get all the functional performance options I wanted (ballast, tower, stereo etc.). I also spent an extra $3k on the bigger motor which nobody other than me will see. BUT the main point is compared to my old go fast jet boat/look at me with my roster tail boat the SV211 Team is all function. The new boat doesn't have the performance or anywhere near the bling bling as the old boat but function? It's got a heater for god's sake....
The purpose of my post was just to emphasis my belief that Wakeboard boats are more about function than they are style. They can be stylish but not in comparison to numerous other brands (DCB, Ultra, Donzi, etc.) or styles of boat as I posted earlier in this thread.
-Tyler

yeah, thanks for the post, and I'm glad that you are excited, but I think that the paint and carpet is a little much. I'm all about subtle and simple. Plus, these things are supposed to make the guy riding look impressive. Function before fashion right? It's a posers boat.

Psychologists call these types of claims"projection."
How can you possibly know about someone's self-esteem based upon the price of the boat/accessories that they bought?
Perhaps "10's of thousands of dollars" on what you perceive to be "useless crap" (that's really in the eye of the beholder though, eh?) is no big deal if the guy is a high roller.
One of the things that makes threads like this one so entertaining is the comments from the clueless kids.

This guy doesn't need bling to get the girls. Maybe we can all learn a lesson from him. You know that a guy having a smoke while his girl carries 200 lbs of sticks has got game. His boat is probably white with no graphics and maybe just the base model stereo. I'm guessing he passed on the carbon-fiber rope handle too.

Okay....now I'm in......
X2HOSS....the boat is great. Not for everyone, but the perfect boat for someone. It will do exactly what it was built to do, get people talking.
It is unfortunate that there is so much negativity here, but I wouldn't personalize it.....or put that much stock in it.
Hell, if someone posted that was Parks 2005 X-Star....everyone would be saying how great it was....bla...bla...bla.
