2022 Mastercraft Prostar - Announcement

[shufflehuff]

It looks like Mastercraft quietly updated their website yesterday with 2022 models. The Prostar page makes reference to the 2022 model year, along with a few pictures that have changed. The starting price appears to have increased around 5% from 2021 up to $78,850. Is anyone aware of any changes in the boat from 2021 to 2022? Has the options list changed at all?

[Horton]

I haven't seen them but I think there's new colors

[davidski]

What are prostars topping out at?

[rico]

this is the colors of the one I am picking up tomorrow...

[Horton]

@rico you just had to have a newer boat than me didn't you?

[rico]

yes and mine is at least .01 mph faster without the tower :smile:

[ALPJr]

@rico and if you try some 100 octane you might get another 0.01 mph.

[BlueSki]

I bet @rico gets around 6 with the 2022

[rico]

@BlueSki at least ?

[BlueSki]

@rico, just so you know, your legend has prevailed in the Midwest. If my RFF 12-year-old gets five, he yells, “I got a Rico!” If you always get 6 and never 5, I’ll buy a new MasterCraft.

[theboardingschool]

The tower actually allows to boat to sit more level, and it’s .3-.5 mph faster.

[rico]

@theboardingschool im surprised the panda did not hit you yet for that comment. Regardless I found @Horton ’s birthday present:

 

 

[LeonL]

@theboardingschool if the tower changes the balance of the boat, what effect does it have on wake characteristics?

[DW]

@theboardingschool - interesting comment, if the tower pitches the nose down which adds wetted surface there must be some power increase or aero drag decrease to allow the boat to overcome the extra surface drag. If it pitches up to reduce wetted surface I can see a speed increase due to less surface drag. If the water surface texture changes between tests, surface drag will be affected.

[bigtex2011]

is that with or without 93 octane :)

[Horton]

@LeonL & @dw you can never tell if @theboardingschool is being sarcastic or not

[theboardingschool]

I actually don’t know what it does. But I do know that I’ve pulled Freddie running 41’ back to back and it makes deep water starts for beginners on a slalom ski a lot easier, so I’ll always get it.

[Horton]

@theboardingschool I use it as a handrail when I get in and out of the boat.

[swb911]

Here are the color changes from 21-22.

 

 

Mine is on order and should be here in Sept/Oct time. From what I heard on changes, No longer offers “X” stitch, Cover & Bimini only come in black, Go Pro Mount Pylon not available (although my bubild sheet still has the mount on it so???). There ya go.

 

Also, only will accept 87Octane

[Keith_Menard]

@swb911 I want to see that Orange!

[Broussard]

@Keith_Menard Turn Buoy orange was used back in the 197 days.

 

[Horton]

how different is it from this orange?

 

[Broussard]

@Horton That color is "Friction" orange, the 2022 Orange is "Turn Buoy Orange" which was the color that MasterCraft used in the 2000s and early 2010s. I'm not sure how different the shades are.

[Cooper_Trelawney]

I'd be curious to see a build with Sandstone and Combat Green.

[Andre]

@swb911 Do you have a ''design a boat'' pix to share?

[sodbuster88]

That brochure boat is nice. Here it is from inside.

 

 

[swb911]

@Andre let me see about posting a design a boat pic. My daughter was the designer this time, and convinced me to go with Kahuna blue instead of the more conservative option. Im excited to see the results.

 

@sodbuster88 That interior looks sweet. The grey in your pic looks much darker than the grey in the ad. Im surprised how good the tan looks with the grey... I would not have tried that.

 

[6balls]

@swb911 LOVING THAT. I'm usually a black/red guy but I want your build.

[Woodybc62]

@swb911 when will you get delivery? Definitely post some pic pics when you get her

[ironhorse]

@swb911 - I like your daughters taste in colors!!

 

 

[swb911]

@ironhorse , I think you are the one who convinced me on team talk. I was concerned of the flake vs non flake blues. Still kinda thinking I should have gone a bit of the blue on the interior... although I stayed a bit more reserved with grey with black.

 

[swb911]

@6balls my prostar this year is black and red with some silver flake. I was never a red guys with boats, although this years boat has converted me. I bought the black/red boat after I found my 22 build was going to take longer than I thought...

[ironhorse]

@swb911 , I do remember that Teamtalk post. I do like the black Mastercraft lettering that you have on your build. The polished silver lettering does not show up well in certain light on the gunmetal flake. There was nothing else that I would change though.

[Roger]

Besides the colors, there is one change to the hull. A new recess near the rear of the boat. Lou Alcamo told our Promo guy that it's to help with low speed handling and has no effect on wake or tracking. I took this photo of his new hull at the dealer a couple of days ago.

 

[skistrom]

Roger, What color blue is that?

[Roger]

@skistrom - looks like Kahuna. See colors on page 1 of this thread.

[skistrom]

@Roger - Hope so, cause that's the color I have on order. Just hard to get a good feel for true color on computer screen, doing the boat builder.

Thanks much,

[TT197]

Our club at Laku Landing got the last 2021built and it has a 2022 hull

[Roger]

@skistrom - Checked with the owner, it's Jetstream blue.

[Horton]

@Roger I'm confused by your above comments.

 

The 2021 it is a substantial upgrade over the 2014 - 2020. Many changes to the hull as well as the interior, construction methods, and amenities.

 

There are no changes to the hull between the 2021 and the 2022.

 

[Roger]

@Horton - Yes there is. The indent you see in the photo I posted is not on the 2021 Hull (unless one of the last ones made had it). It's new for 2022. Dave's 2021 did not have that indent...

[Mastercrafter]

@Horton why do you have to use words like “substantial upgrade” .. right in the feels man!
