Bumping up 1-3 mph from factory settings seemed to clean it up.
#DOCKSTAR PRO LABEL CODE#
Wife surfed Left 4 and seemed like she was in a different zip code she was so far back.I preferred Right 6 at 11.1 with the weight we had that day. I tried 7, it was basically the G wave, steep and rampy. Can surf further back from boat on XT than I ever did on G - I'm goofy and the picture below is on Right 6 setting 2 adults in boat, no additional ballast.Simple ( you can get into settings and configure basically unlimited) 1 - 7 from mellow to steep and then left or right. Surfstar System - THAT WAVE!! AMAZING ( granted Nautique has also updated their surf system, but overall I like the Surfstar better than my '18 G, can't comment on new G).The way Mastercraft handled some issues around delivery and pricing and stood behind Roger's to service their customer really re-enforced I have made the right decision. Combine that with my being born and raised in TN, I have always wanted a Mastercraft, so I am admittedly biased. The team there is phenomenal and having previously bought 2 boats from them, couldn't wait to get back in the "Family" so to speak. From the day they became a Mastercraft dealer shortly after buying my G, I was basically counting down the days until I could flip it. Roger's Performance Marine - Relationship with my local dealer is the sole #1 reason.I'll try to bullet point our initial pro/con below as compared to the G. With the final build sheet we didn't feel like we sacrificed anything vs the new G or X for nearly 30-40k less depending on the boat.
#DOCKSTAR PRO LABEL UPGRADE#
A lot of those options were standard on the X, but an upgrade on the XT.

That said, I LOADED up my XT with all the options I thought were practical and left very few things off. When I started doing builds on the 3 boats, I just kept coming back to the XT, it really had everything we wanted. It seemed to be everything we needed but at a much lower starting build price. As part of that exercise, I looked at getting a new G vs the X24, then Mastercraft released the XT24. That was probably the most frustrating part for me personally, she had no legs so to speak.ĭue to the market being what it is, we actually sold/traded the G back in June for more than we originally paid. We primarily boat at Lake Powell and like to get upstream so to speak, the G would use 30% of a tank just to get to our favorite spot. I think I pulled a wakeboard 3 times in 3 years. Which, looking back, quite honestly we didn't need, as we only surf. It was loaded with damn near every option and the 550hp supercharged engine. We put over 300 hours on the G, and loved it. These were the main reasons, we ultimately chose the G, everything else seemed VERY Close at the time. At that time we had a local Nautique dealer in my town, but not a Mastercraft dealer. My wife especially loved the thrusters, since that was our first wake boat coming from 2 Monterey's and a Sea Ray. We liked the storage of the G, my wife liked the cooler in the floor instead of giving up under-seat storage. We felt at the time that the Regular wave on the G was better than the X. It was a close decision and honestly we ended up going with the G because we couldn't find a new X at the time. When we originally bought our G back in '18, we compared it to the X23 at the time. I know its a polarizing topic, but these are just my initial thoughts having made the decision to go with Mastercraft. I posted yesterday in another thread about fitting my new XT24 into my garage and a few people wanted my thoughts on comparing it to my G.
