That looks like an 87-90 Mastercraft prostar, I mean identical to it.

roxy_babe 12-07-2006 12:18 PM

Well i know ...its my dad who bought the boat.... and we both said its exactly like a Mastercraft with different stickers

polarbill 12-07-2006 12:22 PM

It looks more like a 83-86 to me. The windshield, engine cover and overall lines look more like my old 84.

100% sure It's an old MC Prostar... Don't know what it's doing with someone else's stickers on it though. <BR> <BR>'85 Prostar <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65921/394660.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65921/394661.jpg" alt="Upload">

yeah interesting... what does the title say?

insuranceman 12-07-2006 3:19 PM

It's a procraft. I have seen a couple of them in the past. Probably they bought the old molds from mc

greenpinky 12-07-2006 4:36 PM

But it's a model year 2000? Wow, nice boat, but for 2000, that would definately look dated.

insuranceman 12-07-2006 4:52 PM

Mike, I agree. <BR> <BR>Maybe that is what they called that series and she is unsure of the year.....

roxy_babe 12-08-2006 3:44 AM

April, since you are in England, there must be some kind of licensing arrangement for production in Europe between MC and ProCraft. Either that or it is a direct knock-off (copy) of MasterCraft's model. You should be able to get lots of information on the MasterCraft ProStar and it should all apply. <BR> <BR>What are you trying to find out?

roxy_babe 12-08-2006 10:10 AM

just where this boat has orginated from because all the pro crafts ive seen are fishing boats

dbjts 12-08-2006 10:50 AM

Where's the pic taken, it dosen't look like southport.

roxy_babe 12-09-2006 12:18 PM

Our private lake <BR>where did you get the idea of southport from? <BR>is it on my profile?

woreout 12-09-2006 12:29 PM

MB was making boats out of old MasterCraft prostar 190 molds not that long ago. Procraft probably just got hold of an old MC and pulled a mold off of it. It looks like they changed a few things ie; top deck vent placement, so it wouldnt be an exact copy. <BR> <BR>(Message edited by woreout on December 09, 2006)

roxy_babe 12-10-2006 6:41 AM

yeah, it is very similar apart from some changes but the dash is totally different!

snyper1d 12-10-2006 8:42 AM

If you look at the back of the Pro-Craft, you see MBC 29. The Hull ID for all MC's start with MBC (Mastercraft Boat Company). Coincidence???

dbjts 12-10-2006 8:55 AM

Yeah April your profile says home lake is Southport, which I was taking as being the saltwater one on the seafront. I've been there once or twice with a friend who lives in the area but I hate the taste of salt water and its shallow enough to bang your head on the bottem. <BR> <BR>(Message edited by dbjts on December 10, 2006)

Additionally, the tooling for the motor box is the exact same on both of them (including the vinyl patterning)...

roxy_babe 12-10-2006 1:40 PM

yeah i hate southport too but my auntie and uncle own the place sooo....free ride! MBC 29 is the registration number for a lake in lincoln (people who previously owned it)

prostartjh 12-11-2006 12:42 PM

I also looks identical to my first boat - 1988 Marlin Magnum Skier which I was told was shot from the mold of the 1986 MasterCraft Prostar 190.
