Top Water Ski Boat Companies

Top Water Ski Boat Companies
In 1922, a snow skier from Minnesota became consumed with the idea of skiing on water--going as far as attaching a rope to a World War I flying boat and pulling him at speeds of 80 mph. Since then, thrill seekers and water-sports enthusiasts have been transforming the sport, pushing athletes and speed boats to new levels of performance.

MasterCraft

Since 1968, MasterCraft has been engineering some of the top water ski and wakeboarding boats in the world. Responsible for a long list of cutting-edge innovations, the company has greatly shaped the direction of the sport and is one of the leading pioneers in the industry. The ProStar 214V is still the only boat approved by the USA-Waterski as being a world-record capable, three-event tournament towboat. At the forefront of modern design and performance, MasterCraft is dedicated to producing faster, safer and more efficient speed boats.
