It's quite interesting with the marketing because I think the way CC branded the names of their boats was excellent..

... you had the Air, the Super Air, the SA Team Edition... you knew year on year what was what and that your boat (if you had an Air for example) wasn't now a different name and lower down in the cred rating.

Mastercraft, although the flashier looking boats, renamed the X Star the X 2.. this was bit silly as it means that all X 2 owners have to remind people that their boat is really an X Star, just with a new name. The X2 just sounds like a worse boat than an X5!!

I think MC should have callled the new X star something like X Star Pro or X Star Max or similar - basically used the CC way of doing it so all the current X Star (X 2) owners were not compromised.

Just my 2 pennyworth :lol:
