New Model: Mastercraft 300

A much waited unveiling during the Miami Show for a company Mastercraft usually associated, with fast runabout and ski running boats. The new 300 opens the quest for a cruiser from the US builder, may be come into case with the change of ownership happening a few dates back. The most intriguing factor of the new Mastercraft 300 is obviously the three pointed full bow. Normal questions arising here from the traditionalists, I am sure are if this opens up waves as a traditional pointed one. What is sure is thanks to this design element you have a forward double berth of much bigger proportions inside. The fullish bow also give a more spacious deck up top. Another different style element is the movable hard top with alloy frame and tinted glass to reduce the affect of sunlight. For a 30 feet boat the Mastercraft 300 offers more of a different concept to a more spacious one! The cockpit revolves around its central passageway with double sun lounges, l-shaped settees, and dual seats for the helm to starboard and passenger to port. Inside you have innovation capturing a layout as seen on fast boats but adding to it more space and luxury. Below in fact you have separate head upon entrance, galley, c-shaped settee, and a spacious double berth forward which can be separated by a blind. Performance figures have not been announced, as the same for engine choices what so far is communicated is that it takes twin engines, petrol or diesel totaling a max of 800hp.

Project: Mastercraft 300

The MasterCraft 300 is unveiled today at the Miami International Boat Show, with a lot of buzzing going strong for this move from the renowned ski boat builder. Mastercraft is happily thrilled with the interest people are showing in what is calling the world's first twin-tip day yacht. Mastercraft has not passed much detailed information, but gave a clue for a 4 berth interior. Hull details show a vee shaped hull with a 2o degrees mid and 16 aft. Fuel capacity is a 757 litres fuel tank, that is a lot considering the 33 feet over all length of the new big Mastercraft 300. Engines have not been announced. Should be interesting to see how this compares with other builders especially American ones, and what new solutions have been used apart the squarish bow and radical exterior shape. May be someone have seen it today and can comment more about this.
