ok, here is a picture from TMC of the new X2, for those who want to know.

Sick looking boat. If the wake is up to par with the old X-2 then MC has another hit on their hands.

Awesome...I want one...matches the orage Rover perfectly! Does anyone know how long from tip to tail without the swimstep?

Thanks

I like it but looks kinda plain

Reminds me of the old Nautiques with the big N graphic. Too plain for me.

Still not too sure about the graphics, but I love the look of the boat. If the wake is up to par I think I'll have to trade the '05 up to that in the next two years or so.

damn that boat is awesome will wait a year or 2 for all the kinks to be worked out then upgrading

is it part of their new midget series? that thing looks tiny. I guess less stuff to go wrong though. At least Disaster Raft changed their graphics

(greatdane) · (greatdane) **Join Date: Feb 2001** 08-08-2005, 3:37 PM

I think I am looking at my next boat -- assuming the wake is as is should be. Maybe I will wait 1 year too -- for them to get their kinks out.

Absolutely beautiful...

(loudontn) · (loudontn) **Join Date: Feb 2005** 08-08-2005, 5:42 PM

That was the baby at the Knoxville INT. It was a good looking wake as well. I was pretty happy watch guys ride behind it, it's one of the only MC's I'm fond of.

GO VOLS!!

Is the nose less sloped downward than on the xstar?

It kind of looks like it is less sloped.

The X-Star froks make th bow bigger, this seems to make the bow smaller. Just MO

(nc05lsv) · (nc05lsv) **Join Date: Mar 2005** 08-08-2005, 7:53 PM

Gotta say that I love the 04 X-2 but IMO I think that pickle fork makes it look much smaller. Maybe it is the angle of the pic but look at the girls legs.......just seems smaller......does anyone know if the bow area changed?......just curious

(retrofridge) · (retrofridge) **Join Date: May 2005** 08-08-2005, 8:02 PM

Seems like it wouldnt look so small if the windshied wasnt so big. Is that the windshield off the xstar? Anyway cant wait to see it in person, way to go MC.

(greatdane) · (greatdane) **Join Date: Feb 2001** 08-08-2005, 8:07 PM

I totally dig it.

This could easily be my next boat!

The cockpit looks a lot bigger.

(airrantz) · (airrantz) **Join Date: Jun 2004** 08-08-2005, 10:56 PM

the swim platform is huge!!! I think the large window, and swim deck make the cockpit look smaller than it is. If you look side by side it's bigger inside for sure. The bow is deceiving because it is wider than it is long but I'm willing to bet it's easily more roomy than the current X-2. By the way the mirror looks like a bug antenna or something. All in all a welcome addition to the MC lineup for sure.

(dakid) · (dakid) **Join Date: Feb 2001** 08-09-2005, 12:24 AM

sick!!!! i actually prefer 'plain' or simple graphics vs. fancy/tough-guy-tribal/graffiti type graphics.

is the interior supposed to be roomier?

(ripr) · (ripr) **Join Date: Mar 2002** 08-09-2005, 5:49 AM

I think it looks pretty interesting. I definetly like the 'less is more' graphics, but some of you are right, the nose looks pretty short. I hope the wake is up to par.

(cdm) · (cdm) **Join Date: Aug 2003** 08-09-2005, 6:01 AM

with the transom v'ed seems like it will get trashed/ scratched very easily if not protected. Also, seems to have more interior room than old X-2. I like!

robertt 08-09-2005, 6:21 AM

In the two pictures above, check out the difference in the length of the swim platform. It looks a foot shorter at least on the new model. Thats a huge plus in my opinion.

I dont know about the V in the back, but then again there is only one area you should need to protect from the board in lieu of the entire width.

I think it looks great.

(fox) · (fox) **Join Date: Jul 2002** 08-09-2005, 6:36 AM

On the Team Mastercraft website it says 20'0" which would make it slightly shorter than the current X2, but it has a 94" beam which I think makes it a little wider. That carries a little more width in the bow with the pickle fork. Very nice indeed...trying to get the wife on board to switching to "the darkside"! Any ideas on Price yet?

Looks like the dash is at least partially designed? (Versus the IMO cobbled-together look of the X-Star.)

zboomer 08-09-2005, 8:35 AM

I like that new X2. Had it been out last year I would have given it serious consideration when I bought my VLX. (Except for the mono looking color scheme, I don't dig that.)

Good comparison w/ the 05/06 above. That really shows the extra room in the cab. But it does look squat though.

Still out of my price range.

(malibuboarder75)

I have to say that the aerial shot looks funny. It makes the boat look like a brick, short and fat. I would still stick to the x-1 (old x-2).

(jon4pres) · (jon4pres) **Join Date: May 2004** 08-09-2005, 11:32 AM

Looks short and fat. I usually dont go with short and fat but I love the boat and love the LF fish so maybe I need to start lookin for a woman who fits the new trend.

(cdm) · (cdm) **Join Date: Aug 2003** 08-09-2005, 12:13 PM

i have to say the retro look without the spray paint crap does look better. not saying Id order it that way, but better!

(greatdane) · (greatdane) **Join Date: Feb 2001** 08-09-2005, 12:18 PM

The cabin looks a lot larger. My only NIT on the old X2 was the cramped cabin. On the new X2, the cabin looks much bigger (wider and longer) while the sunpad looks small (who cares; nice trade!).

I will take this FORM for the greater FUNCTION!

Check out www.wakeboardnebraska.com for more pictures of the 2006 X-2. It will be at WWA Nationals and Double Up Del Noche.

Side shot looks like an old trihull, Bow is tiny. (Note the girl sitting in the bow with her knee's bent)

(greatdane) · (greatdane) **Join Date: Feb 2001** 08-09-2005, 6:01 PM

In this picture the guy behind the driver has his leg straight out behind the drivers seat. I remember a lot less room between the drivers seat and the back seat in today's X2.

I dig it. They optimized what is most important.

Norm, you are more worried about the graphics than the wake? Or is that what you meant by "seeing" one?

(bigworm) · (bigworm) **Join Date: Dec 2004** 08-10-2005, 9:31 AM

im not worried about the wake at all if it is not big which i doubt ill make it big and plumb my own system in, but ill drive one for sure b4 i make up my mind totally. im more interested to see the fit and finish and see if there is gonna be any trouble areas that they need to work the bugs out of. i wonder if the ballast is underneath the floor in it???

(erik_c) · (erik_c) **Join Date: Jan 2005** 08-10-2005, 6:06 PM

Ive heard price wise its going to be in the same range as the current x-2 high 40s. But thats all hearsay

(ktmwakeboarder)

sweeeeeet

At that price, they are going to be sold out.

(dr_inc) · (dr_inc) **Join Date: Mar 2005** 08-10-2005, 7:19 PM

from what i can see it looks as big as the current x star...looks like the X2 is gunna be the old xstar.... does this mean that MC has a new Xstar comming out?

(cbrown) · (cbrown) **Join Date: Jan 2004** 08-10-2005, 7:49 PM

Actually it is two full feet shorter than the X-star it just has the same Pickle fork front. Also it is narrower than it's big brother.

If the wake is like the old x-2 or new x-1 then this boat will be sold out nation wide.

As far as price I do not think this will sell anywhere near the high 40s. I have a feeling the x-1 is going to be like the v-ride in that it starts out cheap but as you option it out it will run into the mid40s and that the x-2 is going to pushing into the mid50s.

(dr_inc) · (dr_inc) **Join Date: Mar 2005** 08-10-2005, 8:03 PM

(jiujitsuabs) · (jiujitsuabs) **Join Date: Jul 2005** 08-10-2005, 8:54 PM

What do you think the dimensions of the boat going to be? If it's going to be the x-star hull it would be about 22'6". I've heard the X-1 will be 21'. Just curious about length and beam.

Its the size of the current X2 with much more room. And, the current X2 is/was a great boat.

I think MC should call this boat XSTAR because it is going to be the best boat on the market.

It will easily have a better wake than the current XSTAR because its smaller.

They should name this boat the XSTAR/21 and current XSTAR the XSTAR/23.

If the wake is not too rampy, CC and BU are going to suffer.

(cbrown) · (cbrown) **Join Date: Jan 2004** 08-10-2005, 9:50 PM

Ryan here are the specs that I saw on Wakesiderides.

X2 / Maristar 200

LOA: 20'0"
Beam: 94"
Boat Weight: TBD
Seating: 11
Fuel Capacity: 45 gallons
Engine: 5.7L RTP-1 / 310 HP (optional engine is the MCX @ 350hp)

(bigworm) · (bigworm) **Join Date: Dec 2004** 08-10-2005, 11:14 PM

cept the rtp is supposed to be a rtp2 with 330 hp next year.

looks longer than 20' in the pic but what can that tell us?

(joe_788) · (joe_788) **Join Date: Aug 2003** 08-11-2005, 8:10 AM

MC used the same trick that BU used on the 2005 VLX to significantly increase the rear seating area. It's simple, just shorten the rear storage by 12-15 inches, and extend the seating by the same amount.

If the wake is equal to the current X2, the new X2 will definitely be my new boat.

(jiujitsuabs) · (jiujitsuabs) **Join Date: Jul 2005** 08-11-2005, 12:44 PM

It looks like the storage is smaller, but hopefully it will be a little longer.

They have also done the Sanger/Calabria trick of shortening up the bow to maximise the cabin room by the looks.

(fox) · (fox) **Join Date: Jul 2002** 08-12-2005, 7:03 AM

I called my MC dealer yesterday to see what they could tell me. Basically that was not much! He verified the length but not the price. It is sounding like high 40's depending on options. Also, no timetable yet for delivery. Guess I'll have to go to the Double Up del Noche to get my fix!

(toyotafreak) · (toyotafreak) **Join Date: Sep 2003** 08-12-2005, 9:23 AM

With a 20' length, doesn't this have Canyon Lake written all over it?

Looks like there's some good under-seat storage. That cushion under Zane's foot would be a great place for a good cooler since most of the time people won't be sitting on it. Mine's under the observer seat so someone's always getting moved so we can get out drinks.

Nice twins, too.

robertt 08-12-2005, 9:59 AM

That boat....fits in a standard garage!

That is very cool.

Looks huge and roomy in the pics, but its the same length as mine....wow!

(greatdane) · (greatdane) **Join Date: Feb 2001** 08-12-2005, 10:37 AM

For years we have had a virtual tie in "best" wakeboard boats between CC/MC/BU. Each of these companies have had good to great boats (SAN/X2/VLX) with a few deficiencies here and there.

IMO, this new X2 could put MC above all. This boat could easily be better than all the rest. I can't wait to learn more about the wake, the built in ballast, and the price.
