Has anybody heard about this?

What is this all about? (http://www.waterskimag.com/article.jsp?ID=12282)

Is this something new, or did I stumble into an old article about the 98-99 models?

hard to say, could've been driven by a dip$hit that didn't have any business in a boat period.

did you happen to click on the link regarding the Prostar 190?

a little blurb from that

http://www.waterskimag.com/article.jsp?ID=12157


....Our performance tests confirmed MasterCraft's claim to be a boat built by and for serious skiers. While other inboard designs have branched off in search of speed, specialty wakes or recreational markets, MasterCraft has kept its signature model firmly on track.
Based on our test team's subjective and objective measurements, we feel that the new ProStar 190 delivers what it promises. Power is balanced to deliver the optimum combination of speed and acceleration, the cockpit is both comfortable and functional, and the wakes proved accommodating for everything from three-event skiing to barefooting and wakeboarding. This boat is good at everything, and also has great high-end slalom potential, one test skier wrote. The wakes are super-small and soft, and the boat feels smooth and very powerful out of the hole.
It is exactly the sort of praise one would expect one of the industry's benchmark inboards to garner, and the new 190 proved itself a worthy successor to the title.


So......what's the problem with these hulls again?

That's from the 98 Boat Buyers' Guide. They said the same about every other boat in the review including a paddle boat. ;) (note the winking fellow). :uglyhamme

Just bustin' your stones, pal. You been skiing much this season since the nuptials?

/edit. Actually, that's not from the boat buyer's guide. The PPTS was not on the boat during the WSM BBG tests. Moreover, in 1998, WSM boat buyers' guide still resembled a review as opposed to an ad. But since the above was meant as a good-natured ribbing/jab at the more recent BBGs, I'll leave it up.

Not much skiing yet, I wanted to go this past weekend but the weather didn't want to cooperate. I did manage to compound and wax the rig this weekend. Looks good.

That's good. I hear the new 197's don't track nearly as nice as the 190's from anything before that did. Just what I heard from someone who owns a 197 - pls don't kill me.
