Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
MasterCraft PS190 2013 vs MasterCraft X-Star 2011: A Close Look at Two Modified-V Boats
Both the MasterCraft PS190 2013 and the MasterCraft X-Star 2011 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 PS190 2013 at 19,7 ft versus MasterCraft X-Star 2011 at 22,3 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the MasterCraft X-Star 2011 tips the scales at 4 250 lbs - 950 lbs less 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 X-Star 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 X-Star 2011 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the MasterCraft X-Star 2011 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 12 passengers and at 22,3 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.
