Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
MasterCraft CSX220 2011 vs MasterCraft PS190 2013: A Close Look at Two Modified-V Boats
Both the MasterCraft CSX220 2011 and the MasterCraft PS190 2013 are modified-V designs, both built in fibreglass, so the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department - MasterCraft CSX220 2011 at 21,4 ft versus MasterCraft PS190 2013 at 19,7 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the MasterCraft CSX220 2011 tips the scales at 4 300 lbs - 1 000 lbs more than the MasterCraft PS190 2013 at 3 300 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.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The MasterCraft CSX220 2011 is rated for 12 passengers, while the MasterCraft PS190 2013 caps at 7. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the MasterCraft CSX220 2011 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the MasterCraft CSX220 2011 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 12 passengers and at 21,4 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The MasterCraft PS190 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 7 that costs less to run day-to-day.
