Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
MasterCraft Prostar 205V 2005 vs MasterCraft PS214V 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The MasterCraft Prostar 205V 2005 vs MasterCraft PS214V 2013 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.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The MasterCraft PS214V 2013 measures 21,3 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 19,3 additional feet of deck space compared to the MasterCraft Prostar 205V 2005 at 2,0 feet (2005). At 305 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.
Both boats are rated for 11 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 PS214V 2013 at 21,3 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The MasterCraft Prostar 205V 2005 at 2,0 ft wins on trailering ease, likely lower purchase price, and simpler docking — a solid choice for a buyer who wants more boat for less money.
