Luxury flagship buyers wanting the biggest, most refined surf wave

For surfing, the XSTAR 23 shapes its wave with the MasterCraft Gen 2 Surf System / SurfStar (FastFill) surf system and carries 3,850 lbs of factory ballast. Flagship XStar re-emerges with what MasterCraft calls the industry's biggest wake, a heavy steep surf wave from a 7,600 lb hull.
It is best suited for Luxury flagship buyers wanting the biggest, most refined surf wave. New pricing starts around $395,000, though options and model year move that number substantially.
