The 2005 MasterCraft X7 is a highly regarded direct-drive tow boat built on the proven ProStar 190 hull. It excels at slalom skiing while still producing a strong wake for wakeboarding when equipped with ballast. Features Typical factory equipment included: ZeroFlex Flyer wakeboard tower KGB ballast system PerfectPass speed control (optional on some boats) Clarion AM/FM/CD stereo Removable rear bench seat with sun pad Swim platform Open bow seating Adjustable driver's seat Performance Slalom skiing: Outstanding. The X7 has one of the smallest and softest wakes of any production ski boat. Wakeboarding: Excellent with ballast. The factory ballast can be supplemented with additional bags to create a steep, clean wake. Tubing: Plenty of power and maneuverability. Wakesurfing: Possible, but limited. As a direct-drive boat it requires substantial aftermarket ballast and a surf device, and it won't match the surf wave of a V-drive wake boat.
