"We’re thrilled to unveil the all-new XStar at the prestigious Barrett-Jackson Auction,” said Krista Schipner, Vice President of Marketing at MasterCraft. “As a key market for MasterCraft, the Phoenix area offers an incredible opportunity to connect with boating enthusiasts and MasterCraft owners. This event is the perfect stage to showcase the stunning redesign of our flagship model, the XStar.”
The event will serve as the launchpad for MasterCraft’s exciting new partnership with Chevrolet, as visitors to Luxury Row will get an exclusive first look at this collaboration, with a Silverado HD 2500 prominently displayed alongside the redesigned XStar model. Following the event, MasterCraft will kick off a nationwide roadshow, featuring over 100 stops, where the Silverado HD 2500 and the XStar models will be showcased together, exemplifying unmatched power, performance, and craftsmanship both on the road and on the water.
The XStar lineup sets a new standard for power, performance, and luxury, boasting bold upgrades that enhance every aspect of the boating experience. Among its standout features is the all-new MAAX (MasterCraft Aft Audio Experience) System, delivering unprecedented sound quality to elevate every adventure on the water.

At its core, the XStar is powered by the world’s most powerful towboat engine—the Ilmor Supercharged 6.2L—delivering an impressive 630 horsepower and 665 lb-ft of torque. Perfectly paired with MasterCraft’s SurfStar system and a fully redesigned hull and ballast configuration, the XStar lineup guarantees an unparalleled experience, whether behind the wheel or behind the boat.
