2011 Mastercraft X35

Classy isn’t a word you’d ordinarily attach to wakeboard and ski boats, but it certainly applies to MasterCraft’s new X35. The powerboat Mastercraft X35 is a 7.14 meters sport tow vehicle with accommodation for 16 people and a draft of 0.69 meters which can reach speeds of up to 42 knots.

Before the engine’s fired up though, the first thing that grabs your attention is the X-35’s wakeboarding tower. MasterCraft calls this anodised aluminium masterpiece ‘Zero Flex’-which presumably refers to its stability on the water. Unlike some wakeboarding towers that sway and groan and generally act as though they might fly off. This one doesn’t.
