Mean and Clean
Ilmor is MasterCraft’s exclusive engine partner, and for good reason. As a Penske Company with over 30 years of racing cred, Ilmor knows a thing or two about building engines. We don’t just build power—we build it responsibly. Ilmor engines meet the highest environmental standards around: EPA? Check. CARB ultra-clean? Check. Even EU-RCD and single/twin BSO certified. Ilmor engines offer industry-leading warranties: 7 years/1,000 hours for standard models and 5 years/500 hours for the 6.2L Supercharged engine, ensuring peace of mind and top performance.
DRIVING FEATURES
From genius docking features like our proprietary DockStar Handling System and the most powerful stern thruster on the market to comfort upgrades like intuitive displays and underwater exhaust—every MasterCraft is built to make driving feel less like a chore and more like a flex.
Maneuver with ease thanks to our all-new stern thruster, developed by Ilmor exclusively for MasterCraft to deliver powerful performance. Available on XT and X models and standard on the XStar, this system delivers intuitive design and functionality more efficiently than ever.
Tight spaces don’t stand a chance. DockStar gives captains of every skill level a boost of confidence, making docks and marinas way easier to navigate. Two flanking rudders direct water flow in reverse for total control. Available on every model except XStar models and the ProStar.
Less noise. Fewer fumes. Better vibes. Our underwater exhaust system quiets the ride and cuts down on emissions for a more enjoyable ride. Standard on all models.
