Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
MasterCraft PS190 2011 vs MasterCraft X-30 2013: Same Brand, Different Boat
The MasterCraft PS190 2011 is a modified-V design and the MasterCraft X-30 2013 is a deep-V design, so you're likely deciding between two noticeably different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The MasterCraft X-30 2013 measures 23,3 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 3,7 additional feet of deck space compared to the MasterCraft PS190 2011 at 19,7 feet (2011). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the MasterCraft X-30 2013 tips the scales at 4 700 lbs - 2 080 lbs less than the MasterCraft PS190 2011 at 2 620 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 X-30 2013 is rated for 16 passengers, while the MasterCraft PS190 2011 caps at 7. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the MasterCraft X-30 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the MasterCraft X-30 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 16 passengers and at 23,3 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The MasterCraft PS190 2011 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 7 that costs less to run day-to-day.
