Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
MasterCraft MS245SS 2009 vs MasterCraft X-14V 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a modified vee MasterCraft MS245SS 2009 against a deep vee MasterCraft X-14V 2013 means you're likely deciding between two genuinely different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — MasterCraft MS245SS 2009 at 24,0 ft versus MasterCraft X-14V 2013 at 21,3 ft. At 473 lbs and 395 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The MasterCraft MS245SS 2009 is rated for 18 passengers, while the MasterCraft X-14V 2013 caps at 11. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the MasterCraft MS245SS 2009 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the MasterCraft MS245SS 2009 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 18 passengers and at 24,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The MasterCraft X-14V 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 11 that costs less to run day-to-day.
