Review: 2003 MasterCraft X-Star
Conclusion
What can we say? The 2003 MasterCraft X-Star is an amazing boat. It looks great, it drives great, it fits plenty of people and gear and it provides a great wake. Most of what we picked on here was pretty minor and the only major drawbacks that we see are the tower and rack problems mentioned. However, those will have little affect on your time on the water. If you're looking for a new, top-of-the-line wakeboard boat, you'll definitely want to make your way to a MasterCraft dealer and give this one a look.
