Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
MasterCraft 190 2007 vs MasterCraft PS197 2011 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The MasterCraft 190 2007 vs MasterCraft PS197 2011 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — MasterCraft 190 2007 at 19,0 ft versus MasterCraft PS197 2011 at 19,7 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the MasterCraft 190 2007 tips the scales at 262 lbs — 234 lbs more than the MasterCraft PS197 2011 at 28 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.
Both boats are rated for 7 passengers — a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.
Bottom line: The MasterCraft 190 2007 and MasterCraft PS197 2011 are closely matched on the specs that matter most. Test-ride both on the water you actually use, check current dealer pricing, and factor in long-term service access before you sign.
