As with most things, it is only worth what someone will pay for it... I'm sure I think my MC is worth more than it really is, so I am asking for your expert opinions on what I should ask for it.

Hi guys, I have a 1989 tristar 190 with a ford indmar 351 in it. I was looking for some tips on how to winterize this boat. I have winterized my jet ski many times, but never an indmar 351. Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks,
Josh

Hey everyone! Just bought a 1988 tristar. The seats are structurally sound and the vinyl is still good (no rips/tears in the seat backs. But this mildew is driving me insane! Can I remove this or do I have to recover it or get a new seat? Thanks for your help!

P.S. I just bought the boat...

So, according to the guy who sold this to me in AZ this was a mastercraft prototype before he had it. I never confirmed this, but it does not have any holes for prop or rudder in the hull, no supports for an inboard engine. It appears to be a tristar conversion. When I purchased it the poorly welded...

The owner had just taken it in on trade and I wanted the in one door out the other deal. The previous owner had just put a new alternator starter cap And rotors plugs...

I'm new to this forum but am interested in finding out what my boat is worth. It's an 89 Mastercraft Barefoot 190 with the Chevy 454 big block. All original with matching trailer. Turn key and has only 329 hrs on it from the factory. It's the tri-star hull and I purchased it from the original owner....

The years are starting to take their toll. The stress of bouncing on the waves have caused the penetration points of my dash to start to/completely pull through. Looking for a way to repair these. Anyone have a recommendation? I have considered laying glass down on the inside for reinforcement and I...

I have a 1988 Mastercraft Tristar 190 that has had the rear seat modified to create a sundeck that conceals a fat sac. The sundeck is made of the seat parts so I still have all the seat parts. The 'problem' is that I could really use the seating but we also love the sundeck; and I am not willing to...

Hi Everybody,
New member to this forum. My dream is to buy a PS190, but the wife is insistent that the boat must absolutely have a walk-thru open bow. I don't want to throw $25k at PS197 from the early 2000's. Everything I read on the tristar 190 says the slalom wake is "almost as good...

I am currently very interested in buying a late 80s early 90s Mastercraft. I have looked at the Maristar (Which i missed out on by a day in Colorado) and now a 88 Tristar. I am hoping I can get some advice from current owners. Any recommendations , comments or suggestions as to what to look for and...

Hi, I'm having issues with my 1990 Tristar. It keeps getting water in the gas tank. I've had the carb rebuilt, the water/fuel, separator replaced, the tank emptied (twice). The boat runs strongly for hours but it seems that the water/fuel separator cannot keep up and eventually it gets waterlogged and...
