2007 Mastercraft X1

This was the boat back in the day. It was the first to carry what has become a legendary name: MasterCraft X-Star. It pulled the X Games – seven times!

Proportionally speaking, the 700 pounds of factory ballast is a tremendous amount for this size wakeboard boat. The aluminum Zero Flex Flyer tower comes standard with its 2 1/2-inch posts mounted amazingly well.

These wakes never go out of style. With a 90-inch beam, it’s a narrow wakeboard boat, so the distance to cross the table is very doable for beginners. The peaks are rounded but retain enough pop for any-level rider. If you’ve seen any old-school video of today’s rock stars launching off the old X-Star, you’ll see what’s possible with this MasterCraft X-1. And the wakeboard boat’s nimble size makes handling and turning ideal – and you only need a 310-horsepower engine to blast off like a water rocket.
