In 2003 the X-star was only issued to Pro TEAM riders only. At a sticker price of over 80 grand for the new flat bottom boat, not to mention it is 28 feet long and lest than 20 were made and YOU CAN NOT BUY IT. The only one in North Carolina and it belongs to Megean Major who rides for Master Craft and Hyperlite.

As for a tower Austin all X-star are wakeboarding boats and were designed to be the official tow boat of the X Games. The all the Xboats come with a factory towers.

Awww, how cute... they have matching light bars...

I don't really care what year it is, if its a mastercraft its good enough for me. Looks like i might get to ride behind the supra before I head down on thursday I'll also probably be able to grab one of these too for anyone thats hard core about skiing.

Its a little overkill for me, but I can still ride it. We are an official test center so we have a few of them and its the only one I'd probably be able to borrow since not many people are up to using it. When are we going out on the lake? Is it going to be on memorial day? Also, how big is the lake. I'm used to skiing on a small lake and once you have access, you start to get really picky about your water. I'm going to have fun no matter what, just curious?

You going to make it to the meet jon/matt?

Thanks for having this Jason and Jeremy I need to do a little work. Are their trails near by?. We are gonna drive down for the day I want to fix my winch and maybe flush my tranny. I got a new selenoid and replaced the one I thought was bad. Hopefully Jason will be able to test it for me or something.


Has your friend had problems with his boat. We got our boat in 2000 and have many probs. The X-star has electrical problems like the cruiz control and I think we got water in the gas cause it runs rough at about 1/4 tank. We could spend all weekend and still not fix that durn boat. With all that it throws a nice wake up for some good air.

Our supras at work are virtually problem free. We had some problems with the stupid stupid electronic gauges but that was a design defect and they went back to mechanical gauges in the next model year. I would syphen out the old gas and put in new are you guys crazy!?? Are you bringing your boat too? are the x-stars Vdrive I assume? Our supras were straght but we had built in water tank and a big trim tab. I never got to see any super good wake boarders behind them though, just skiers.

I second the earily thank you to Jayson and Jeremy for hosting this thing!!

Well, yes dumbasses, but if you think about it... a jet ski is a toy. When your driving a boat, even more so on a ski boat, you are very in tune to what is going on, is my speed right, where am i going, is anybody on my ass etc. When your on a jet ski, your on it to have fun, and the last thing on your mind is... Oh, am I following to closely?

Ps, that is nto me, but the average jet-ski'r and they don't do it on purpose, its just the nature of the machine. Either way, I'm sorry to hear about those accidents. I'm glad they are outlawed on our lake. Though, I do love riding them...

Ps, we will have to play it by ear with the caravaning...

You guys see the weather report (not that I'm saying they are reliable but...) its suppose to be 85+ (90 on sat) and Isolated T-Storms all weekend... grr, it better clear up for our day on the lake. As long as its not raining i'll be down, it will keep all the other drunkers docked!

From: Minnesota, SE that is.
Not a lot of trails real close, BUT...Something I had noticed at one of my suppliers. They have loading docks in the front and back, and one on the front has a ramp poured of concrete. Might not be to official, but you could use it as ramp to check articulation. Its over near the Doll house too!!! Extra bonous

Well, if we can't get them dirty we can atleast get them clean. I washed and waxed my rig the other day and got some new wax and I didn't get passed the cleaner wax. I know you can only polish a terd so much, but... its a good looking terd dammit!!

On a more serious note...
Jayson/Jeremy... I still have yet to see an address/directions to your place I don't even know if I have your phone number. I have the address to your old place, but not the new place. if you don't see this tonight give me a call on my cell, i'll leave it in your pm box.
