Hey guys this is my first post here. i have a question about the boat i am looking at. Its a Mastercraft prostar 214v. i believe it has 700 pounds of ballast as well. does anyone have any experience riding behind these? My dad is a skier and he'll be skiing behind it, as i will be boarding. Also... it unfortunatley has the "mini"tower. anyone with experience there? Let me know. Thanks. Im getting a very good deal if i want to buy it, well below the list. it's a 2008 brand new, sticker is 83, listing for 53,500 and i can take it for 48000....

I have no experience with this boat, but i do know that if i had 48k to spend on a boat it wouldnt be that one.

looks like a better boat. in my humble opinion. Its a v-drive, has listed hours on it, a regular tower and all the great things a boat like that should have.

Sorry, just saw that the boat you listed was brand new. still would like the x-2, probably a good reason why it has no hours is because there are much better boats for the price.

What is with the "mini" tower? I've never seen one like that. Just seems silly.

I agree that if you have a budget that high, that you can certainly do better. Most people get "ga, ga" eyes over a boat they're looking at though so we might not even be able to change your mind.

Take a deep breath, there are lots of good deals out there, the boat you're looking at isn't necessarily "the one".

If you really want a crossover boat then ask for some opinions on what models to get. I, for one, would DEEPLY consider what you're doing before buying a crossover. Your dad will be skiing behind it, but you're the one who's buying it and *you* like wakeboarding. People can still ski behind wakeboard boats it's just not as good as it could be. How picky is your dad honestly? It's *your* boat.

I can get you a new 2008 Super Air Nautique 211 Team Edition through my local dealership for that price on a trailer out the door. There are other offers on the boat, so it might not last through the weekend, but I thought I'd point out that there are other smoking deals on crossovers out there.

If you want an inboard, I could get you a new 2009 Super Air Nautique 209 with the zr6 in it, tower, etc., loaded in that pricerange...

guys i swayed myself out of that one last night. Really im gonna want something that can help me improve as i get better... Im looking at an x15 and an xstar right now, i have offers on both. So we'll see who takes the most off.. As of right now...

i found a 2006 xstar with only 99 hours (edit, brain fart) that im probably gonna buy. So, i'm pretty stoked.

Good! That x14 was garbage for 48k
