Default Mastercraft v Nautique

Right guys, question. This is not a comparison of the boats as that has been done to death but their approach to wakeboarding in this country.
There is always the comparison made between boats, but what I have noticed is that Mastercraft seem to support so much of this sport in the UK. Sponsoring all the major comps, a multitude or riders, etc.
I don't really recall Nautique's doing the same, I think I saw on Matt Price's camper that they sponsor him, but i don't really see them putting the same commitment into the sport in the UK as mastercraft do.

Am i right, or wrong

hmm interesting questions.

I don't think anyone can argue that Mastercraft do mor eonthe competition scene, but Wakestock was great and that was towed by nautique.

as OWSC said.. i think it comes down to money.

I respect the fact that MC does a lot of supporting within the industry, however i'd still rather be in a nautique at this moment in time!!!

Sorry to hi-jack but if anyone gets a chance to ride the nautique 226, do it. With alot of weight its got an amazing wake, IMO better than the team edition.

Back to the question, I do believe you see alot more of MC in England.

As per my Rolex analogy Mastercraft is the most recognized name in the industry not necessarily because it’s the best but because its out there being seen sponsoring events & riders & towing events.
