    Default WW: Parks' new XStar

    Sorry but I think it's at least worth a look.

    Please keep your comments PG13; outright flaming/disrespectful comments WILL be removed by me. Pretty controversial material here lol.

    You'll notice he didn't opt for the power tower. Also I am not a fan of the crazy looking gauges on the top of the dash.

    Pretty interesting. It sure would be nice to "get" a new boat regularly like they do.

    That power tower is unique for sure. I think it' a cool concept and it will be refined if people seem to like it.

    Sweet boat, the X-star is world class, beautiful! and that 540 HP engine is incredible.... Parks on the other hand did nothing for me in his advertisement, I was waiting for his head to explode!

    MasterCraft has to much bling for my taste. I thing they are great boats with some nice features, but just to much bling in the design. And i dont have to speak about the price tag. But i would like to try the supercharged engine .

    I service alot of X star customers. One common complaint is slow and high speed manuverabity. When a driver is used to a center engine or even a flat bottom V drive, which all handle much better than the X star. The rudder is way to small for the displacement and hull length. For my taste I do not like the graphics. Did I here it is a "wrap" Boy if it is, one scratch and you are done, no repairing. Only replacement. Al

    Default Reflecto

    The reflecto interior is atrocious. can you imagine riding in that thing with full sun beating down on it.
    i have a pair of reflecto bindings. One word of advice 'Don't leave them in the direct sunlight' The finish starts to fade and crack super quick.
