Team MasterCraft

2007 MasterCraft Owners Manual - Page 22-1

 

Purchasing a new MasterCraft ProStar, MariStar or X-Series boat has the added benefi t of automatic one-year 

membership in the fun that is Team MasterCraft. And your membership will be renewable in succeeding years, too.

 

No other manufacturer offers so much in terms of product, customer service, an outstanding dealer network 

and just pure fun by keeping other boat owners like you informed in print and online, and bringing you together in 

social settings.

 

As a member of the exclusive Team MasterCraft, you will receive:

•   A Team MasterCraft tee-shirt.

•   A membership kit fi lled with custom Team MasterCraft items.

•   A personalized membership card and certifi cate.

•   A year’s subscription to STAR, the offi cial MasterCraft owners’ magazine.

 

You’ll also be invited to special events around the country throughout the year. 

 

Among the national, regional and local events about which you’ll learn more and be invited to attend are the 

Water Ski Pro Tour, Regional Amateur Championships, and MasterCraft Reunion events. At most of these, you’ll also 

be allowed into restricted areas set aside for Team MasterCraft, with excellent views of on-water events, and lots of 

opportunities to compare notes with other Team members, admire each others’ boats, compete for prizes and have a 

wonderful time.

 

As sponsor of many events and a Pro Team of skiers and wakeboarders, MasterCraft is hands-on in the sport. 

You’ll have opportunities to meet, receive autographs from and talk to some of the top stars. You’ll also take pride when 

you see MasterCraft boats pulling events on television—and even in the movies!

 

MasterCraft will also alert you to very special events such as Camp MasterCraft, where “kids” of all ages 

attend to learn more about skiing and wakeboarding. You can keep track of everything by logging on to www.master-

craft.com and checking out all the exciting events going on around the country for Team MasterCraft members!
