MasterCraft doesn't have that much white, black, teal and gray laying around to splatter and make a display for his rig and besides if he gave them all his stuff, the Museum would be full of his stuff alone and room for nothing else.

The heck with having my picture in a boat on a trailer...I WANT TO GET IT WET AND SKI IT!!



Now that would be an awsome story, to say that you were pulled by the first MC!

This is the version of the story that I'd heard as well.

To me, this forum is about love of inboard boats. It is about the sharing of information and, on a good day, some humor. It is not about post count, brand of boat, or any other superfluous labels that lend themselves to a false sense of superiority. Please, respect one another, try to pass on accurate information, and keep your eye on the ball.

I know that they have some of the first MC's in the back parking lot. From what i have heard. Along with proto-type x-80 hulls, and even the X-TREK.

Chad said X-80 hulls (just engine, floorboards, steering wheel, and throttle) were just rammed up on shore, just to test new placements for ballast. He said he saw a few X-80 hulls in the back field (no trailer i don't think) and the X-Trek parked somewheree in the back. I might be wrong, or they might have moved it in, i could be wrong.

Power Hour had this boat on it the other day...will have to check the TiVo for the date. It was the Matt Curmi episode, he went to the factory...pretty cool. They had it sitting outside with no cover....well at least for TV they did.
