Used to be the only place you could catch a MasterCraft was on a ski lake somewhere 50 miles away from the nearest tidal shore. And all family cars used to be stationwagons, too. Times have changed, haven't they? MasterCrafts have open bows. They ride as well as their stern-drive counterparts. And now they're being spotted cruising the coastal waters. The primary reason may be the 245 SS, a peerless towing machine that has made the leap from protected inland boathouses to coastal marinas without a hitch. Featuring its advanced SuperFly front, pickle-forked bow, and unmatched interior layout, the 245 SS is big enough for a crew of 18, and now big enough for big water. Get used to it.
