I have a Hurth V drive off an early 2000’s mastercraft. It was a project boat. Engine ran. Never had in the water. Was supposed to be a good unit. Spins over, has oil, not full of water. Has bell housing and drive plate and stringer mounts Asking 300.00 would rather sell locations. Could ship at...

At the end of last season I purchased a 2006 Maristar 245 VRS. Super excited to get it in the water here soon! Meanwhile, I will be adding an Amp (JL 700/5) to power the existing cabin speakers, as well as a new 10" JL Sub.

My question is, can anyone post pics of both the sub front,...

Hello all,

2007 X45 8.1L only 140 hours.

Long story short, I bought the boat in August, it runs great and never had any real issues with it. Took it to the dealer to get a full service on it, they tell me that it needs a new engine and the ECU is bad. They said the engine...

Boat was in saltwater in CA when new for about 1 year, but has been freshwater for the last 10, no corrosion anywhere. I’ve had the boat a couple of years, but we moved to a lake where we don’t have a...

Hello,

I am looking for some advice on selecting a new prop for my 2013 X45 with the Ilmor 6.2L engine. I run the boat at 8000' and I am looking for a new prop to help get the boat out of the hole better and improve top speed. I run the boat heavily weighted for surfing. The current...

I recently purchased my buddy's x45. I placed the boat back in after winterization from a Mastercraft dealer. I have replaced all three impellers to the ballast system and verified all the pumps are working and functional. However, none of the ballast systems are filling. Is there a valve that could...

Hey all,

2010 X45

I dropped one of the 3 flanged hex screws attaching the oil filter mount, and I'm now away from the boat. Can someone tell me what size they are. I believe them to be 1/2 or M10 but I'm not positive.

Thanks much!!

It was windy in Georgia a couple nights ago and last night a pine tree decided to snap and fall on the X45.

Does anyone know a good shop for repairing the fiberglass and gelcoat in SW Georgia (LaGrange)?...

I have just installed the wakemaker piggyback ballast upgrade for the rear lockers. Firstly, I would like to invite comments on the correctness of the connection of hoses (as shown in photos with coloured green and coloured red numbering attached). The Green Number 1 is connected to the original hard...

Shaft: Spline - Left

Looking to really dial in the surf setup and make it easier for goofy and regular riders without having to move the sacks around. Currently have two 850's which create an excellent wave heavy loaded one side. Just ordered the SWELL Wakesurf Creator SLIM and am planning on running the 850's in both...

My wife and I operate a small (literally "Mom and Pop"!) Boat Upholstery business at Smith Mountain Lake in SW Virginia. We are currently working with a customer to do a complete reupholstery job on his 2009 Master Craft X45. We went over to his slip the other day to remove the seats, back...

2005 X45, the boat is wintering on the trailer. Last time at the lake, the port side pumped water into the ballast tank, would not empty. went home, boat on trailer in garage, turned the switch to 'empty' just to see if it would work, and water shot out! I emptied the tank outside. Now all three...

Advice needed: I'm looking to add on some tower speakers; but, I don't know where to start. Reading online here it sounds like I will need another amp to power the new speakers. I am wanting to have a good enough quality for surfing & tubing; but, primarily floating in the water without having...
