Congratulations on the boat, especially as its an x30. They are an awesome boat and yours looks sweet. Plenty of people on here are passionate about their 30's, as with every model and with good reason. You are in for an awesome summer.

Thx! The dings aren't too bad. The tower didn't slam down. Just a small ding on the right and a scratch on the left. But still painful. I will def be looking into how to fix it...

Honestly I would ask the dealer if they would fix, especially if they didn't mention having the racks folded in.

Congrats on the first weekend out! Your story sounds a lot like mine. I've wanted a boat for many years now and even had my financial advisor work it into my financial/retirement plan. Anyway, knew I wanted a water sports boat and had my heart set on a MasterCraft since I was lucky enough to ski behind one as a kid (friends dad had one). I was looking used all year last year, then got a deal on a demo 2015 X2 from my local dealer. I bought the boat in late October, so I already have 5 payments on it, but I live in Michigan, so haven't gotten it out yet - delivery/demo day is May 16th, so I'm really getting excited. (I think my wife and daughter are getting sick of hearing me talk about it - they'll change their tune when we're on the water!)

Same as you - I've learned so much from everyone on this forum over the last year or so, someday I'll be able to contribute some advice and wisdom of my own.

Can't wait to enjoy boating with my family - looks like your family is all in!

Congrats. You cant go wrong with the X-30! We are at Smith also, currently have a 30 and a 23 on order. You hit the nail on the head, no longer is it a frustration for the kids of all ages to spend family time. They cherish it with a mastercraft and lakehouse. Every weekend is a vacation and you are never short on willing participants. Enjoy the boat and the family!

Very nice! I imagine you will be hooked on the forum now too. A lot of really great folks here!

Congrats on the new boat.

11 years ago I bought a brand new Maristar210 with a tower. Believe it or not I paid $50,000 OTD with the trailer. The first time we put it in the water I hit a stump. Ripped up the prop, strut & prop shaft. The boat had .2 hours on it when this happened so I feel your pain.

Congrats... I don't think the kids are too unhappy either.
