I just tell my kids to push on front foot to accellerate, and push on back foot to brake. They all surf pretty well with just stock ballast in an X1.

The Ronix Koal is very easy to surf, but your...

I waited for my boat to come to me! My favorite MC dealer is just 275 miles away at Tablerock Lake. When he got the used boat I wanted, I sprang.

Please define "power load", because maybe I'm not understanding the term. My MC trailer manual states "drive your boat onto the trailer at a slow pace." Is that "power loading"?

Is $200 too much for a spare tire?

I'm lazy. I can order a spare tire (GY Marathon), already mounted on a modular rim, from Overtons for about $200, shipping included. Or I can shop around for both wheel and tire, then get them...

I don't think even stock ballast is included in the capacity rating. I'm fairly certain lots of folks ride/surf with more than "legal" weight in the boat. I've never heard of a ticket for excess...

I had to pull my 85 out of the water once or maybe twice when it wouldn't start. The winch is to hold the boat on the trailer, not to pull it on. You've got to get really deep to float on. ...

Ok, not a MasterCraft, not a ski boat, not even a powerboat. But this looks like a good deal on a lake toy: http://wichita.craigslist.org/boa/3811304740.html

I think you will find that your MC is way more reliable than any PWC. I always "drive" my boat off the trailer. That way, if it doesn't start you are not drifting.

I think you say "43 years was a good run" and then go out and buy a new air compressor. Not worrying about an exploding tank has to be worth something.

There are differences in covers, some are roadable and some not. I've had original MC covers for both my boats, 1985 and X-1. I generally tow without the cover unless I am also using the boat to...

I don't think I'd really consider purchasing one just to hook the trailer to the truck. I'm more interested in using it to move the boat around in the garage. I also like the built-in brake, so I...

Anybody use the Trailer Valet?

This could be a pretty useful tool, but does it work?

Please throw tubing and fishing right out of the equation. ANY boat can do those things.

I would add:
You can store a reasonable amount of gear.
You can operate one on a reasonable amount of...

This thread is kind of silly, because it all depends upon what you want to do with the boat. If you are a footer, I assume a BF 200 is better than an X-Star. If you want to cruise Lake Michigan an...

Wow, Malibu in the same tier as Mastercraft? Apparently they've come a long way. I would have guessed that CC dropped off into Malibu's tier, and MC was alone at the top.

Is a transom saver something that can be ordered? I would think it had to come with the boat.

I've got an X-1 with the removable teak platform. There is about a 3/8 - 1/2" gap between the platform and transom. The trouble is, when waves or wakes hit the back of the boat, water shoots up...
