gold metalflake mastercraft?

i just read a different thread that said travis moye's new boat is a gold metalflake??? anyone have any pics of this?

Here you go Jake, we did a clean graphic for him using clear vinyl. I think it looks sick, LOVE the gold!

sick

wow. dam master craft doesn't stop. sick

SICK!! Looks sweet with the graphic!

Can't wait to see in person

dude, that is sooo nice, shes gonna sparkle!

OG!

Does that boat have Peanut Butter interior? I really hope it does because that would make it even better.

those graphics are awesome

I think it does
here is a shot from Bess Marine's Site
the original, and many other great wake shots are here

I'm impressed!

Wow, very nice!

since when has peanut butter been a color? That's so freaking ghetto I coudn't help but laugh. I haven't heard that since I left Louisiana, seriously.

Thanks for the plug Nick

Love the gold metalflake.

Hey Bess, Great shot! Do you have any more shots of the boat? I would really like to get ahold of them if possible. Thanks

I don't really have any other shots of it. I need to take some in the water. But, all I can say, is that I absolutely love it. That thing makes me smile everytime I see it. And it is unreal how much that thing sparkles in the water. I'll try to get some shots of it. If not, I know a pretty decent photographer that might be able to help me out. If you guys haven't checked out Bess's work you are missing out. She takes amazing shots!

Here is one of her rear.

No Doubt Travis, I've been looking through her shots for the last hour or so... She is the reason I never call myself a photographer, with 15gs in equipment I still just take photos... Nice stuff Bess!

Glad your stoked on the boat Travis...

That graphic is nice and clean. I have never seen a flaked platform, very nice! The peanut butter makes it.

benjamin/travis,

is this gold metalflake the same as the "shimmering sand flake" that you can see on mastercrafts website..or was this a special deal?

Great looking flake and I really like the attention to detail in the clean/understated graphic. I have always been a fan of subtle details.

Yeah, is that the shimmering sand or did you get MC to do a one-off for you, Travis? I need to get back down to Orlando sometime to come to the camp because 4 years has been too long, but Sasser is keeping me busy here in Dallas with his school. Regardless, I'll see you in a few weeks at the Pro Tour at TXMC. -Andrew

Dude that boat is sick! I want it!

I am pretty sure it isn't the shimmering sand. I know that when Major was doing her first flake book Mike at the Charlotte MasterCraft had a book full of about 50 different flake options. I am sure it wasn't 50 but it was a lot more then the 5 that MasterCraft offers.

I have a few more shots of 'er in the water, I'll post them up tonight when I get home.

I just have to say that I love this community.

I've been riding since I was young behind an I/O. Still love the sport as much as anyone else! This year I am bringing home my very first inboard (87 SunSport thread is active now). Paid for my my own hard work. Couldn't be more stoked!

Travis please enjoy a cold one for me in that beauty. Give 'er a little hug too. Doesn't anyone else hug their boat?

WOW...that is the sweetest XStar I have ever seen. Hands down winner.

Damn.

It should have a Studio 54 logo on the side.

It seems like I am in the minority, but not a fan of the way it looks....

That being said I wouldn't turn down a ride behind it.

That boat is hot! I've had Gunmetal, Red, and Silver flake and I think I like the gold better. Need some shiney water pics.

It's actually gold, not the shimmering sand. There are quite a few colors you can get that aren't shown on the website.

And, Tim, it's not for everybody. Only people who like boats that are kickass!

Love it! If Donald Trump had an X Star this would be it. Get a bottle of his Vodka to keep on board http://www.bevmo.com/productinfo.asp?area=home&seref=froogle&pf_id=0000 0080482

My thursday blog post is 4 more shots of Travis's x-star at The Boarding School. I thought the size I use on my blog would work for WW as well, but I guess they are still a hair too big. Anywho, you can check them out here:

It's definitely a saawweeet look'n boat bub.

my work just got in a gold x 35, the thing is insane, it looks to sick

Love the pics....thanks for posting the link. Hands down the best new boat this year here.

my work just got in a gold x 35, the thing is insane, it looks to sick

Hi-Jack:
Bess, are you going to make it to Wisconsin or what?... My parents bribed me and said if I moved I was cut-off... so it looks like I'm not movine now

on a hi-note part of the bribe was 2/3 weeks of wake coaching of xmas break...get me booked at the boarding school please

END HI-JACK

Actually, funny you should mention that... meg and I might be going to the tour stop in Wisconsin if we get if enough book sales with our personalized wake coffee table books. First test round is this weekend at Wake Games, wish us luck!

Travis- Never seen the double mirrors. How much of a difference does it make? Is it just for those huge d-ups?

I'm not a fan of all the crazy new wraps that are out there...but that thing is beautiful. Still has some flash, but in a classy package. I think the metal-flake is a great look.

Matt, I have one of the mirrors angled to watch the rider at speed, and the other one angled down a little so you can see them really well when they are in the water getting the rope, or hopping on the platform. I just try to make it where I have to turn my head as little as possible. I sit in that boat A LOT!

I love Gooooooooooolddd. Sweet boat Trav, ill have to bring a grill to wear if i come to your camp sometime soon!

pimp!

Nice thinking on putting the two mirrors on the boat. I can imagine otherwise your neck would be sore at the end of a long day.

Travis or Bess:
I was watching the "Ugliest Dog Competition" and they had this fruity little greyhound on there...this dog was gross, it got like 3rd place... but all I could think of was the shot of Bocce (who isn't nearly as gross, I think) running full speed and it looks like an alien... I couldn't find it on the blog! WHERE DID IT GO!

haha, yea, that shot got deleted from the blog... wasn't as sharp as I'd like it to be, that and my buddy mark called me out on it, haha. Was kind of a fun shot though, I just liked it cause bocce looked like a dinosaur in the air, or like an alien, but, if it's not sharp... it's not sharp. poop. I guess ya win some ya lose some.

PS If Bocce were a real dude, I'd say he's definitely funny lookin, but in a hot way. Would never call bocce ugly though... once you get passed that perma scared look he's a handsome little devil. Maybe one of the upcoming blogs will be a more fun/flattering shot of Bocce.

Whoa! Now wait a damn minute. Yes, an Italian greyhound did win the ugliest dog competition, but I don't feel the need to call them fruity. And, "Bocce(who isn't nearly as gross, I think"...what is that all about? Bocce is a good lookin' dude, and in no way fruity or gross. Not to mention he is a world class athlete! If he were human he would be like a David Beckham type, only a lot more talented.

Bess,
I am enjoying flipping through your site, you take some great photos. I am developing (pardon the pun) an interest in photography lately and it is nice to see your perspective on things.

Sorry sorry, all I know of that type of dog is they can be champion ugly dogs and Bess's picture....
haha, again I'm sorry.

Travis, what does the boarding school do for camps just after christmas, do you guys take any sort of break around then?... my parents said if I don't move to Florida until after I graduate they'll send me down to wakeboard/get coaching every break I get, it was either that or I'm cut off... I would like to go to the boarding school because of how highly Bess speaks of it, but I don't know if those times make it harder to do.
Most likely Jan. 1st - 15th (give or take)

Thanks stephen, I'm glad your liking it and good to hear your dabbling in it yourself. If you ever have any questions/comments (good bad or indiffernt, please if you hate a shot tell me) on any of the shots too (how it was done, processing, etc.) just drop a comment on that image and I'll reply to it. I don't withold any info. I'm a big believer in sharing. And I'm a dork.

Why is there all that water coming out the drain hole from the bilge, forget to put the plug in?

I have been waiting for someone to ask that. No, I left the plug in, and we had a huge rain storm while it was on the trailer.

NICE!!!!

My old 1972 Sanger flatbottom was gold metal flake. My personal experience with gold metal flake is that it fades over time. Hope the new stuff lasts longer.
