Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
MasterCraft PS197 2010 vs MasterCraft X-2 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a modified vee MasterCraft PS197 2010 against a deep vee MasterCraft X-2 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.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The MasterCraft PS197 2010 measures 19,7 feet overall (2010), giving it roughly 17,7 additional feet of deck space compared to the MasterCraft X-2 2013 at 2,0 feet (2013). At 28 lbs and 43 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 X-2 2013 is rated for 11 passengers, while the MasterCraft PS197 2010 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-2 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the MasterCraft X-2 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 11 passengers and at 2,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The MasterCraft PS197 2010 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 7 that costs less to run day-to-day.
