MasterCraft X-1: The Catch

When MasterCraft unveiled the modestly priced X-1, fully equipped with a single-axle trailer, the biggest question was: what’s the catch? The answer: none - MasterCraft has simply repackaged the best-selling, most decorated wakeboard boat in history – the same boat that’s pulled the X Games and Pro Tour since Day One; the boat Parks Bonifay rode to multiple MasterCraft Pro Wakeboard Tour and X Games titles; the boat that has sent junior riders to the pro level, and given every amateur rider who ever dreamed of landing his first invert at least a fighting chance.

The X-1, over ten years in the making, will continue to make waves this year thanks in large part to its proven wakeboarding heritage – a reputable hull which has shaped the industry, literally. A 91-inch beam and smooth running surface combine to provide thick, clean wakes with a crisp lip that brings imagined tricks to life. Factor in the standard KGB ballast system and drivers can control the wake size with just the push of a button.

The X-1 features the latest incarnation of the ZeroFlex tower, complete with increased billet styling and beefy 2 ½-inch aluminum posts and patented nylon WearGuard insert with USCG-approved tower running light. The razor-style ZeroFlex gives riders a higher pulling point for launching off the wakes and dramatically increased hang-time. And since every MasterCraft tower is thru-bolted to the industry-first integrated aluminum plates right inside the fiberglass, you won’t have to worry about that safe and secure pull ever going away.

The X-1 comes standard with the ballast-pushing 310 hp GM Vortec RTP-1 engine. This multi-port EFI V-8 ensures that throttle response, torque, and power – even with heavy loads -- are always in excess and it now comes packaged with enhanced digital throttle control, CAN computer technology, enhanced MasterCraft Cruise (MasterCraft’s own no nonsense cruise control system), and the latest in Delphi ECM software, giving the X-1 unprecedented control and accuracy.

At nearly 21 feet in length, the X-1 is also nimble enough for tight double-ups and large enough to seat 11 people. With an open bow, wraparound seating amidship and a 3-piece sundeck, you can spread out and store your gear below the integrated underseat storage, or up above on the tower.

Maybe most importantly, every MasterCraft X-Series boat also comes with an excess of style. The X-1 continues to set the wakeboard trend with fresh graphics, black-faced gauges, hammered metal vinyl textures, and gelcoat colors that grab attention, further solidifying its legacy as the icon of all wake generations --- yesterday, today and tomorrow.

So what’s the catch? Answer: the X-1.
