MasterCraft Poster/Brochure Error

(lakeaustinrider)

I am just wondering if anyone else spotted the error in the poster side of the MC brochure?

I picked up the brochure at the Austin boatshow. The poster has a yellow X45 pulling (Zane Schwenk?). It looks like a photo taken from a helicopter with Zane in the foreground and the X45 pulling him in the background. A pretty cool and unique photo.

I was looking at this poster while thinking about hanging it up somewhere when I noticed a major error in it. Now I don't think I will hang it up because it is a pretty major screw up in my opinion. See if you can spot it!

I was looking at a different pic... but same boat.

I think this is the pic you were talking about... still going with the mirror thing, but does look much more normal from this angle...

The pic isn't level for some reason, but other than that I don't see anything out of the ordinary.

I think same session but different angle,It's more looking down on the boat and he is doing a spin.(see front of rider)

yeah I think it's the pic where Zane is doing an off-axis spin and the X45 is in the background. I will look at it later (it's in Big Ed garage)

So Zane Schwenk is riding, and out of six people on the boat only one is watching him? That seems kinda strange. What's the deal--swass has be riding to get their attention?

Its not a Nautique???

OK, I still don't have a photo to post that shows it but I will tell everyone since some people can look at the poster itself.

The tower leg on the far side of the boat is missing. This means the tower only has 3 legs not 4. If you look closely you can also see that there are 3 horizontal crossbars on the top of the tower. One of these (the middle one) should have been photoshopped out but was not. My opinion is that Zane was really riding behind an X-Star and the X-45 was completely photoshopped in. Too bad the did such a poor job of it.

Love to see a pic posted of it.

Looks like it's taken from a boat behind him. Doesn't Zane have a history of being hit by the camera boat? Seems like I remember his breaking his leg some time ago after being hit by the camera boat.

Trust me - my riding doesn't get anyone's attention. Not the good kind, anyway.

That's too funny. I'm looking at the poster right now and you're right. I'm not sure what they were trying to do, but that tower violates the laws of physics. Too bad, because it's a really great shot of Zane. I'd scan it in, but it's a huge poster and my scanner isn't that big.

So how about a picture, Dave? I hear you have a camera.......

That is great... I wonder how many people approved that error??? When BIG ad budgets go BAD huh

(lakeaustinrider)

Thanks for posting the boat photo.

Someone mentioned that only one person in the boat was looking a Zane. That's because the boat photo was taken with nobody riding behind it.

Isn't that Mastercraft's new tower design that gets around Correct Craft's tower patent?

Nope, you are all wrong...I was behind the X 45 and I do have HAIR. Thanks for noticing though!!

Zane

One more thing, what rope changes like this??? I say one part or another was just drawn in.

Zane I'm a nice guy and really would believe you about riding behind the X-45. But we have to face the fact that 1/4 of the tower just isn't there...

sorry for the second post... but just realized this...

this is a pic of the X-45 from the NY Boat Show. I see two totally different pylons in the rear of the boat.
