Mastercrafts are higher end than Malibu (if not barely), and the X-star is considered the standard that wakeboard boats are compared to.
I've been seeing a few steals for Centurion V-drive's recently - saw a loaded 05 w/ 66 hours, mint, 23' in Michigan go for 25k on E-bay. Wish I was in the market for one this year, as I would have snagged that in a second.
