MasterCraft Power Turn

[cadoda44]

Practically stuffing the bow.The boat's OK,at best.Pail's in comparison to my Crownline 195 SS,5.0 MPI,with High Five prop.

[sixtynizzle]

can you do this in a xstar??

[francisdebelo]

@sixtynizzle

If you want to recover it from the bottom of the lake.

[sixtynizzle]

@francisdebelo Oh damn really? you'd think it would be able to, can you explain?

[francisdebelo]

@sixtynizzle

Well lets just say its more of I wouldnt do it than it cant. The X star has a very low bow and is a really heavy boat. Power turns are possible but the water better be glass and you better not let off throttle too fast.

[Eng8492]

Any century resorter could do that alot better.

[chillinkillin0]

i have a 97 prostar 190 and love every bit of it

[thebigmann25]

can you do a powerturn with an i/o

[kallewsmith1]

@splat jeux they make some nice ones but those are not nearly as much fun as racing stand up jetskis

[SuperKar1005]

isn't he cool

[kallewsmith1]

You think it's fun making sharp turns in that peice of crap? Try 45 on a stand up jet ski. Now thats fun

[SplatJeux]

@kallewsmith1 lol mastercraft's are nice boats

[sixtynizzle]

he should turn on the pumps before he sinks

[AustinWhite1259]

This may be why The water sucks so bad every time I try to wakeboard.

[ridinthewake94]

Freakin awesome... I have always wanted a mastercraft... We have a 1984 Malibu skier that turns on a dime... Nice boat

[skimboardable]

hey how bout u actully ski or wakeboard. whats a mastercraft for

[JoshuaSaunders20]

i had a 1987 ski supreme that had a 400 Chrysler engine in it and it could do that easy just people in there master crafts thing there so much better have the time but Malibu is the way to go

[fan182forever]

@JoshuaSaunders20 I have a 79 supreme awesome boats and great handling The older supremes almost have close to the same hull design as the old mastercrafts.

[polarisdragon20]

@fan182forever Ya they sure are fun thats for sure and they sound awesome

[elnegroid]

typical masterCRAP owner. fuckin numbnut.

[mowguy98]

@elnegroid ignorant comment. every inboard owner knows correct craft and mastercraft are the benchmark for inboard ski boats. don't be a hater and keep your foul-mouthed comments to yourself!

[elnegroid]

@mowguy98 suck a dick

[mowguy98]

@elnegroid you're brilliant.  grow a vocabulary.

[elnegroid]

@mowguy98 grow some balls. by the way my lawn needs mowing how much do you charge?

[TheWake247]

ski nautiques do these so hard that u can make the connectors on the batteries slide off.

[perfectrock]

Maybe the turn would not be as sharp. I know another Gekko owner and he stated that he could not get the boat to powerturn.

[perfectrock]

I agree regarding the power turn. I own the Boat Ferrari Style and it is pretty sweet!

Gekko GTS20

[SkidooXteam7c]

So youre sayin you wouldnt reccomend tryin it?

[SkidooXteam7c]

i have a 2005 gekko gts 20, the same one that can be seen in the video "Boat Ferrari Style" (but i have all the stock decals)... its pretty sweet, and i was thinkin of tryin a powerturn sometime, but now all you guys were talkin about all that can go wrong... im not sure if i want to try it anymore lol

[brianwurst1234]

i uploaded a video of my friends 78 MasterCraft we restored on my channel. Che ck it out if you like nice boats.

[crump01234]

love doing this in my 85 MasterCraft all other boats really do suck

[hawko54]

we do it in our wakesetter vtx to freak ppl out, we did it once with 2 girls in the front and soaked them to death

[waterskiboy43]

my dad used to do this all the time, but he stopped cause it puts way to much strain on the rudder and it is very low to to water so the people in the back would get hit with a HUGE wave of water. if anyone is wondering...i have a 1987(?) malibu skier. it is sick!

[skinautique2001]

not the same as a 2001 NAUTIQUE

[TaTikiTahiti]

those inboards handle really nice. our stern drive searay can only dream of doing this...

[Try2Skate]

fuck u searays are way better then what u have

[TaTikiTahiti]

I have a searay...lol thats what i said. Its a good boat, 1988 searay 200 V6. In the shop now fixing an outdrive leak.

[HyperliteRidr134]

always loved freaking people out doing that in our nautique

[rockincpr]

ouh yea right

[Dixieland350]

I do this in my 93 Ski Centurion. It's a lot of fun and everybody sitting in the back gets drenched.

[kyledestroys]

thats is excatly what we do in our pro star 190 88'... full thorttle the right as u are turning let off gas its hard tp explain but if u can slalom really good take all the miriors off and do the same thing but with a skier and you can ski around the entire boat its prettty sweeet!!!!!

[grimreepa80]

Yeah we have tried that before!!  It resulted in a broken ankle. We have an 89' tri star 190. The 190 (19 foot series) with the chevy 350 throws the best damn wake of any boat out there!

[Hawkster0001]

sure...

[TastyColoda134]

My Dad did thaton accedent one time with our boat, its an 18ft. Crownline with 250hp, and can easilly hit 60 mph, but still when he did that, my head hit the side of the boat, and it fuckin HURT!

[bradders3535]

is it possible with a jetboat?

[cheeseball247]

its not a jet boat....its an inboard!

[bradders3535]

yeah i know.

I'm just asking is it possible to do this with a jet boat, as well as an inboard?

[SuperMuise]

Oh its very possible to do it in a jet, because jets need to have the engine engaged in order to steer (unless u have a tracking fin), and if you turn it in and cut the engine, the jet will spin like u would on ice. Inboards are a little harder because they weigh the back down and they stick in the water so much. I did a power turn in the supra once, and was bobbing with the nose underwater for a coupla seconds before she came back down.... scared the shit outa me

[evan1408]

NICE!!!!!!

[dutchbecks]

dude i have a tristar we do that with its frickin sweet

[dreamcars1992]

hahahahahhahaha i have an 07 x star. how do you do that? thats bad ass

[gr1ffin2]

just to be safe. Cut the speed and slam a hard right.

[dreamcars1992]

ehh it not that simple. im going on the lake tomarow to wakeboard. so we will see

[Abritishspartan]

He did it because he's in a Prostar, it's primarily a ski boat compared to your X Star, which is a wake boarding boat. Ski boats have shallower drafts, which make them turn much easier.

[cheeze435]

so i probably couldnt do it on our 07 x star mastercraft?

[Abritishspartan]

You probably could, but the turn wouldn't be as sharp. There's only one way to know for sure though...

[Gdblsamrca2]

I just got an x-15 yellow and white with black graphics, its awesome.......they are all around great boats

[wetstackindiesel]

i got an 81 mastercraft stars and stripes ill have to take some vids like this and post them!!!

[sunnysidedown04]

damn!

[swimaboy17]

How do you like the PS 197? I sent off for a brochure today. I'm trying to decide between the x-series, pro-series, or even a couple malibus and nautiques...

[MCSKIIER]

all depends on if you are a skiier, wakeboarder, or luxury cruiser wanting an inboard.

[swimaboy17]

I kind of want to ski and wakeboard, like a good cross-over

[KyleO173]

I have a 2007 mastercraft x-45 and if your looking for a good boat for everything that's your boat.

[iainthornton]

I recommend the ProStar 214-there's just nothing wrong with them at all and a lot of things right with them. and in my opinion, they're prettier than the XStar (I'll never get used to them, call me old fashioned)

I've skiied and boarded and cruised and it's done them all perfectly

[supersmoothpunk]

i cant see anyone else on the lake, nice boat!

[MCSKIIER]

Thanks. If people look down and read they would see that this was filmed in mid april. No other skiiers! haha Thanks for the view!

[supersmoothpunk]

i`ve got a 1979 mastercraft stars and stripes, i`ll have to post a vid of it.

[MCSKIIER]

VERY NICE!  I have an 83 stars and stripes. And our friend has a 76 MINT!

[riverspaz]

i fell bad for all the wakeboardrs and skirs that you guys are runein their day with the choppy water i know when i go out i dont want people to do that to me

[scooterdudesgarage]

Idiot... Why ruin the water for other riders??? Better yet hurt someone.

[MCSKIIER]

This was in late march, on a river, so there were no other riders, and there was only one person in the boat and that was the driver. Don't call me an idiot either, jet skiiers are way worse in the middle of a crowded lake in the middle of summer.

[go46ball]

jack ass you can bend props, skegs, and shafts doing that.....if you hit water going 45mph dose it hurt?

[MCSKIIER]

i have never heard of anyone bending props or skags from doing this. lol Think about this, the back end of the boat flips around so easy, because it starts to come out of the water (less pressure on the undergear.) If you have a friend or someone who has bent a prop from doing this, they hit something that was submerged under the water.

[bkgono]

u cant bend ur shaft doing a power turn. since when does water have the power to bend things? jew.

[spamproductions318]

I did one of those in a Supra 24SSV and almost threw my friend off of the side.

[weezbad]

no doubt, the passenger better hang on and god help the ones in the back.

[TECarlton]

My brother-in-law got me in his 205...i was riding up front and with no warning, power turn. I ended up in the floor with a busted knee! Good times!

[myscotty]

I used to do these in the late 80's with my Supra Comp. You had to be careful who was with you in the boat because if they didn't really understand what was going to happen, they could slide out of their seat and bump into the ski pylon. That would leave a bruise!

[groovyguru72]

bruised one of my friends legs last week in my nautique! she slid right into the drivers seat. I explained to her to really hold on, told her which direction I was going and exactly when I was going to do it. she still slid out....

[groovyguru72]

she is a cutie!

[Burkysplace]

i did one with my 1988 supra comp and the boat ended up going backwards , then settling down and tearing the swim platform off the rear

[mrpepsi13]

uh. i do them every day in my nautique. i have never once heard or anything bad resulting froma power turn. except that one time...

my friend did one wiht his malibu and slammed it in reverse. it kind of sunk.

[tylerbigt97]

mastercraft owner started powerturns we have a 1990 190

[willpardy]

guys, that kills your boat. my buddy bent his drive shaft doing one. its so much fun but its terrible for the boat

[MCSKIIER]

i have never heard a story where someone bent their shaft from doing a power turn, they must have hit something from doing it.  We have been doing it with boats for years and have never had anything like that happen.

[erat91]

we have an 86 master craft. just last year we had to change the sleeve that the rudder went through the bottom of the boat, because it was leaking... but thats 20 years worth of power turns =P

[umskigirl]

Search You Tube for "Power Turn Gone Wrong" or "The New Act in Show Skiing"

[groovyguru72]

can't see it.  the shaft on a tournament boat is extremely strong. buddy have mine had his boat fall of the trailer on the highway and it didn't bend the shaft. so power turns aren't going to either.

[waterskii2000]

o it is bowrider lol

[waterskii2000]

that was lush bit like my boat driving but i have bowrider and i filleed it up lol

[chewbacca1million]

The first one was pretty good Eric, but you still need some practice-LOL
