1998 MASTERCRAFT MARISTAR V210

Hey guys quick question I am looking at this boat its loaded out with tower, racks etc. How does the hull compare to the X Star of its time etc. Are they the same is there that big of a difference in wake especially if its our first boat?

Thanks

huge difference, you're looking at a boat with no ballast, not even really a true *wake* boat..the maristar 210 is a "luxury inboard"..your getting a mellowed down version of whatever X-series model that boat is available in..in this case the x-10..there will be a huge difference in wake from the original 205 hull x-star..and especially the new picklefork x-star..if you're looking for a *wakeboat* from mastercraft..go x-series..not maristar..my .02

***i know some maristars are available with ballast..in this case of this boat does have ballast..will be much better then without..forgot about that sorry

Maristar hulls won't throw the same wake as an X1/2/* hull, but they are plenty good enough for 95% of the market. That is probably the same hull as later X-10's.

They are designed for drier, smoother rides, and IMO are a better all-around boat, especially if you're in choppy water frequently.

Beer Good,

That's the exact boat i have now. (See the picture in my profile) I got a great deal on it, put a tower on it, and usually run 3 sacs and 4 or 5 people. It throws a great wake and like what others have said, it handles the chop pretty well. It is the same hull as older X-10s. The craftsmanship is also top notch. This isn't to say that it's my dream boat, just what i could afford at the time. I think the Maristar would make a great 1st boat and then if you really want to you can drop more cash into a newer boat later. That's what i plan on doing, hopefully getting most of the money i put into it out of it. Feel free to private message me if you have any more specific questions.
