Unprecedented industrial innovations
MasterCraft introduces several world premieres on these XStar :
- SurfStar 2.0 a new, ultra-precise wave-setting technology that can be controlled via the touch screen.
- Scalable ballast to 4,300 pounds to shape the perfect wave.
- Ilmor 6.2L Supercharged propulsion system (optional): explosive acceleration and total control, even with the boat fully loaded.
