Mastercraft Factory Tour!

[Jsh809]

  The Wife and I made the pilgrimage to Vonore, TN yesterday to take a factory tour while our Prostar is being built. I highly recommend taking the time to do this. It was about 2.5 hours and we got to see and take pictures of every step of the process. 

   Here are a few pictures we took of the assembly process and our new Prostar!

Will do! Here is what the computer showed when we ordered.

I love it 😍   Including the tower.  Lots of tower haters on BOS, but I prefer it

That is awesome, and a great looking boat, do you happen to know the approximate time it takes to build a Prostar from start to finish?

[Jsh809]

Yeah, it takes about 8 days start to finish for a boat to make its way down the line. The factory runs 4 days per week for 10 hours a day. 

They have 3 or 4 (I can’t remember) prostar hull molds vs 8-9 molds per model of the other boats. There were 4 prostars in various states of finish and I’d guess well over 100 wake boats in process. They build 200-250 prostars per year and the factory has the capacity to finish 20 boats per day. My prostar is the first build allocation my dealership has received in 3 years.

Is that because nobody bought a Prostar from your dealer, or they tried and couldn’t even get a build allocation?

I believe they are not allowed to order without an allocation. My dealership got one for model year 2021 and mine for MY 2024.  Less than 250 to cover all the dealerships across the world… I guess it means some must go without if they aren’t in prime ski boat market, which Lake of the Ozarks is the opposite of prime ski boat market.
