2013 Toronto Boat Show- Mastercraft, Nautique, Tige, Supra and Bu
So I will focus on the Mastercraft booth for now. (Other vendors shortly as I need more pics as I am going back on tuesday (15 min walk from my downtown condo) This booth at the show keeps getting better, Buckeye Marine now with a Dealer in Muskoka (in Minet on lake Rosseau) along with with the existing Kawartha location now as complete coverage of the most important and busy boating/cottaging areas in North America.
Buckeye had the following at the show X-Star- with A KILLER Full wrap, 7.4ltr Illmor def a dream boat! X-Star (boat was on the indoor lake by the Sesitec 2.0 setup. colour scheme like the launch boats... very nice indeed) X-10- Amazing new model, I honestly think it will be a top seller in the area! X-30 X-2 X-25 X-35 X-55 PS-214 http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k2...ps7ca38198.jpg http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k2...pse218d87f.jpg http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k2...ps1b1e973c.jpg http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k2...ps9a43ccd1.jpg http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k2...ps01cf4c13.jpg http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k2...psb57ce1e0.jpg |

Great pics.Thanks Greg!
|
Damn that supra is sick... Not into transom seating though. Those tiges look sick as usual too the 210 is a classic for sure but she's starting to look a dated
|
Great PIcs.... Digging the Bimini designs on the Supras..
|
Nice looking boats! Agree Tige makes a great looking hull but not digging those towers.
|
That supra got my vote!Such a nice looking boat.:)
|
See I love the Tige Tower. Also like that it doesn't move an inch. But I don't care for it in the sparkle' metal flake. Mine is just basic black.
|
The tige vector tower is uggggggllllly though, but I dig the alpha z it has great form and function and is solid as a rock the only downside is speaker mounting but it comes with factory wet sounds soo...
|
I got to say that Supra is looking very very nice :)
|
I hope Tige comes out with some better graphics for these sick looking boats next year. The MC hulls look great too but I cant get into their tower at all. Not that I have the cash for one tho so I probably shouldnt be posting :p
|
Took a closer look at the boats today and i can't over the G23... I am not a fan of the interior at all, especially for the money. I think the 230 is a better boat.
New centurion Enzo is nice other than the bow. Maybe i am partial to the Mastercrafts,but the fit and finish is much better...Tige has come a longway too on their boats. |
Quick video I threw together..ya it has some flaws in it, but you'll get the just of it....Done on my small $140.00 point and shoot camera. Didn't bring the 5d Mark II or the goPro

The Tige look is growing on me...the Malibu w/ the Canadian flag which they debuted last yr is a great looking paint job.
|
Looks like the Malibu is all set to surf, the others? Not so much.
|
Why would anyone want a giant sticker across thier boat that says "SURF"? yuk. No thanks.
|
Love how that Malibu MXZ canadian boat turned out. Very simple and clean.
I bet that little Centurion closed bow direct drive is a blast to drive. |
Great pics again Greg.Looks like a lot of the Manufacturers are using metal flake paint this year.

The interior in the x-star on the water is gorgeous! I would like to see a complete shot of that boat. It might be the first star of this generation that I like.

I also really really like the new MC interior vinyl! |

Here are the pics from a test dive event in late October by Muskoka Boat Gallery. Found out it was sold to a nice guy on my lake who had a yellow/blk 08 x-star. Can't wait to see it in the spring!

The 70s called...they want their boat back.
|
Greg,thanks for all the pictures and the video.Now I'm less bummed that the show here is wake boat weak.Nautique and Moomba will probably be the only ones and no pool show.
|
our show in North Alabama is this weekend and it will probably be mostly bass boats. LOL

I was thinking that the first picture was tan piping. I thought that we were going to see a star with classy colors.
|
Man the Xstar interiors are terrible, completely terrible. I am trying to like the new Xstar, I really am, and have not had a chance to drive or ride one, but I really hope the wake is amazing because the boat is just very difficult to look at....
|
What happened to the x-15? Did MC discontinue it?

What's crazy is that I talked to my friend who is an MC dealer in Tennessee, and he said that he has already presold his xstar allotment for 2013. He's trying to get 7 more stars for this season. Apparently, (and I'm scratching my head here) there's currently a big market for $100k+ tow boats.

I agree that the first pic of the star was encouraging. I do like the new vinyl. Then seeing the whole boat was a let down. They have got to get rid of those graphics and whoever came up with them. Try a solid color with the shield and a simple "mastercraft" on the hull. There has to be something that will look good. Oh and the power tower. It's the only tower that looks half good now. Too bad it costs as much as a used boat. |
MLO I really am not attacking you on this so please don't take it that way as lots of people say similar things.
I find this statement ironic. "^^^ I hear the 1% ers are doing well." Well I hope they are after all they are the top 1%.... If they were not doing well what would that say for the rest of us? |
^ wut..........................
|
Power tower isn't my fancy
The interior is really use friendly and not a big box like the G23 Was surprised that the G23, Z3, x-star are all around the same 100k mark |
I like the lines of the boat, just don't like the graphics or the tower. Just looks awkward, IMO.
|
That PS214 :drool:
That color scheme has got to look amazing in the sun.... |
