Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
MasterCraft PS197 2010 vs Mastercraft X26 2022 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The MasterCraft PS197 2010 vs Mastercraft X26 2022 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 X26 2022 measures 26,5 feet overall (2022), giving it roughly 6,8 additional feet of deck space compared to the MasterCraft PS197 2010 at 19,7 feet (2010). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Mastercraft X26 2022 tips the scales at 6 900 lbs — 6 872 lbs less than the MasterCraft PS197 2010 at 28 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 X26 2022 is rated for 8 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 X26 2022 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Mastercraft X26 2022 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 8 passengers and at 26,5 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.
