MasterCraft ProStar 197 2009


BOAT REVIEW
When it comes to pulling skiers, the MasterCraft ProStar 197’s pedigree is as good as it gets. MasterCraft’s premier tournament ski boat was the first to pull three concurrent world records in slalom, jump and trick. It’s also the only boat to be USA Water Ski certified in all five events. Drive-by-wire technology and smart rack-and-pinion steering give the 197 superior tracking ability, and slalom specialists will find the soft, flat wakes among the best in the industry.

INSIDE THE BOAT
For a hard-core ski boat, the MasterCraft ProStar 197 doesn’t forget about the passenger. The open bow seating is family-friendly and storage is ample and convenient. For the driver, thoughtful cockpit ergonomics and sharp billet accents make long hours behind the wheel enjoyable.

BEHIND THE BOAT
The MasterCraft ProStar 197 is designed for chasing personal bests and world records, so it’s no wonder skiers of all abilities love its pillow-soft wakes and forgiving pull. Not only are the wakes extremely easy to cross, but the table is perfectly symmetrical and its width is right on the money.
