sorry to say this... but those are pretty old news...
Anyway nowadays X-stars look way cooler than that.

I think it looks awesome. And the term concept and future aren't considered "old news" I guess luchog doesn't believe anyone should discuss things that aren't cool to him.

I think he was just trying to point out that we reported on this concept boat about three years ago.

Cool rendition of a concept though.

I received this picture of one MC's concept boats leaving the factory heading to an unknown lake for testing a few weeks ago.

Why so many trailers? On the concept boat, there is no seating, no sundeck, and the tower is right in the way. I would rather have a new X-Star.

scrogg dog, what I do believe is that that article is way to old, and that a concept may look nice but is not practical.
The tower is in the middle like a ski pole, there that cockpit thing between the two seats.
There is no wraparound seating, and it is a closed bow boat and the stern seems a bit comnplicated for being a sundeck or getting to the swimdeck
Ahhh but check!! it has some kind of plane jets on the tower!!!!
Then I repeat, nowadays X-stars look cooler IMO.

I hope they have a long launch ramp to get the thing off of the trailor.

If the future is a green and blue, 5 person, closed bow, Yamaha jet boat look alike, then this sport is in trouble.

Ok, I'm sure everyone figured out that the truck doesn't have a boat on it. April fools, seemed much funnier in my stuffy cold inflicted head
The semi is actully hauling part of one of the largest injection molding machines ever built leaving the parking lot of Cinicinati Milcron.

That truck is insane. It must have steering somewhere in the rear like a big firetruck. I've heard of 18-wheelers, but by my estimation, that's about an 80-wheeler!

My guess is, a Big Power Transformer for a substation or power plant.

I thought the article was interesting. I had never seen it before. Thanks for posting that Ryan.

"There is a totally cool awesome wakeboarding site www.wakeboarder.com you should check it out!"

He already did. The collective level of the board has dropped even lower than it always was, from almost useless, to where it will actually set you back in your knowledge by reading it.

If there's any post about any boat at all, he leaves his typical Mastercraft literature/salesperson post in response.

I'm thinking about starting a Boat OWNER's web site, where maybe there could be some more useful information. I'd love a general all-brands forum up to the maturity level of the MBO forum (Malibu Boat OWNERS) but I don't know of any, unfortunately. I think that forum is so good because people there OWN the boat, and put THEIR money into it. Makes a big difference. Same thing on other OWNER sites like planetnautique, tigeowners, etc. Much more mature level of communication.

It seems when you actually own a boat, you have a little more valuable input, instead of just quoting sales literature. It's the teens who's daddies buy them $100k boats who's opinions tend to be pretty worthless.

I dream of a forum where when someone asks an opinion about one boat vs. another, the posts are a little above the level of "Any Mastercraft will do what you want better than any other boat!", or "Nautique's are the best, nothing compares.", or "Sanger's are by far the best-built, best performing, best boat period!", or "My Malibu is head and shoulders above every other boat for EVERY user!"

You get the idea, that kind of drivel is worthless, period.

I'd hate to see this forum drop down to the wakeboarder.com level, but it's seems like it's just a matter of time, sigh.

When you keep the boat owners in their respective corners of the internet they are fine, but when you start mixing them they become rabid fanboys
