MasterCraft Brings More Guts to Its Lineup with New MY23 XStar S Piranha Limited Edition

V

ONORE, Tenn., May 24, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -Building off of the momentum from the February announcement of the new Ilmor Supercharged 6.2L engine, MasterCraft Boat Company, a MasterCraft Boat Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: MCFT) subsidiary, today announced an exclusive run of 25 limited edition boats based off of the custom design on display at the 2022 Miami International Boat Show.

As the first boat release for the 2023 MasterCraft model year, the XStar S Piranha Limited Edition model is stacked with premium features and upgrades to turn heads on the water.

With Ilmor’s Supercharged 6.2L engine and unique colorways not offered in the normal MasterCraft color options, the XStar S Piranha Limited Edition is the most powerful and most exclusive towboat in the world.

“We designed this limited edition XStar S to showcase the superior performance and edge that the Ilmor Supercharged 6.2L engine delivers with the most premium boat out on the water,” said George Steinbarger, Chief Revenue Officer at MasterCraft. “When you’re behind the wheel of this boat you’ll receive

the power and progression expected from MasterCraft.”

The Most Powerful The XStar S Piranha Limited Edition delivers the most powerful performance on the water. With 630 horsepower and 665 lb-ft of torque, the all-new Ilmor Supercharged 6.2L is the world’s most powerful towboat engine. Pair that power with MasterCraft’s patented SurfStar system for an unmatched behindthe-wheel and behind-the-boat experience.

“It truly is something remarkable,” added Mike Lindberg, Vice President at Ilmor. “The reception since we revealed the engine has been overwhelmingly positive, but you’d expect nothing less when we get to collaborate on projects with MasterCraft. We both value the consumers’ experience throughout the entire process, but the priority is and always has been delivering those unforgettable moments that you only get in a MasterCraft. It starts on the water.”

The Most Exclusive The XStar S Piranha Limited Edition will have an extremely limited run of

25 units. Each unit will be flanked with a special cockpit plaque designating which number of the 25 it is, in addition to a “Piranha” SeaDek transom pad.

A custom purple flake gelcoat is the exclusive color of the XStar S Piranha Limited Edition. MasterCraft sources the highest quality gelcoat and boasts one of the industry’s thickest gelcoats, giving a richer color and the ultimate in durability.

Exclusive purple monogram stitching will only be offered in the XStar S Piranha Limited Edition, ensuring this boat is one of the rarest and most luxurious wake boats on the water.

The Most Luxurious MasterCraft held nothing back when designing the XStar S Piranha Limited Edition. Enjoy premium features like a blacked-out, patented Z8 tower with Hydro-Lock Technology featuring black Chromax accents and clamping board racks.

Turn heads and get the party going with RGB lighting throughout the boat, a Dual Screen dash setup, and Premium Audio setup featuring six Klipsch cockpit speakers, two dash speakers and two subwoofers.

Four black S85 tower speakers with forward facing lights round out this premium audio experience for those behind the boat.

The XStar S Piranha Limited Edition boasts the most intuitive stern thruster on the market. The stern thruster control is completely integrated into the rotating throttle and the rotation direction matches the movement of the boat, allowing for a 360 degree turn in less than 30 seconds.

The XStar S Piranha Limited Edition also includes CoolFeel Jet Black upholstery throughout. Exclusive to MasterCraft, CoolFeel vinyl is proven to remain up to 30% cooler to the touch than traditional upholstery.

All MasterCraft seats are made in-

house with triple density foam, builtin UV protection, mildew resistors and stain resistors. Lounge in luxury with standard transom chaise loungers featuring the deepest seats, ergonomic headrests and extended footrests—found only on the XStar S. This limited edition model from the award-winning XStar Family paired with the Ilmor Supercharged 6.2L engine, recipient of the 2022 NMMA Innovation award, will be sure to make an impression. The XStar S Piranha Limited Edition is available exclusively at select MasterCraft dealers across the United States.

STEP Marine is the Future of Warmth and Defines Next-Level Yachting Staying Warm Out on the Open Ocean Is a Technological Marvel with STEP Marine, All-Electric Radiant Heating Solutions

S

T LOUIS, MO- (May 2022) —The yachting industry is sailing full steam ahead. Following record sales in 2020, recreational boating remained the leading outdoor recreation sector in the U.S. in 2021 with new powerboat sales exceeding 300,000 units for only the second time in 15 years[1]. With yacht owners on the rise, this discerning demographic has luxurious taste and demands the latest technology and comforts while out at sea. STEP Marine is bringing the future of warmth to yachts around the world with their innovative underfloor radiant heating systems.

STEP Marine features an innovative technology which delivers even, eco-friendly heat, which keeps passengers warm whether they’re on deck, in the cockpit, or in the cabin. STEP Marine heating elements are self-regulating, cannot overheat, and offer optimal heat transfer over the entire floor surface, making them energy efficient. The elements come in a variety of widths, are lightweight, and can be cut to the desired length onsite. They operate on low voltage, 24V AC or DC, and can be installed under most flooring types. They can even be powered by batteries or alternative energy, including solar.

STEP Marine works with Nordhavn, Azimut Benetti Group, Alia Yacht Builders, Ulutas, and Turquoise Yachts,

among others.

Description automatically generatedThey have designed and installed underfloor radiant heating solutions for a variety of Nordhavn yachts including Nordhaven 96, N120 My Aurora, Nordhavn 72, and Nordhaven 120 Expedition.

For Turquoise Yachts, their STEP Warmfloor is featured on Turquoise NB72, a 56m luxury yacht with two diesel electric engines and an aluminum superstructure with an ice-classed hull. STEP Marine underfloor radiant heating keeps passengers warm as they explore the Polar Regions, navigating the Northwest Passage. STEP Marine is also featured on Turquoise Yacht’s Go, at 77 meters with accommodation for 18 guests split across nine cabins, not to mention crew quarters. STEP Marine underfloor radiant heating spans the owners’ bathrooms, lobby, office, salon, pantry and the main floor’s bedrooms, salon, lobby, and bridge deck.

“STEP Marine brings gentle, even warmth to the open waters and was designed by boating enthusiasts for boating enthusiasts,” said President of STEP HEAT, Monica Irgens. “STEP Marine takes the yachting experience to the next level.”

Five Reasons to Take a Boating Safety Course Before You Rent a Boat

T

here are plenty of reasons why everyone should take a boating safety course before renting a boat, but these five are critical.

If you’re thinking about renting a boat, the first thing we’d like to say is: good move! Boat rentals are a great way to break yourself into boating, experiment with different types and styles of boats before choosing one for yourself, and discover what sorts of boating activities get you and your family smiling.

And most importantly, it’s a great way to have fun.

We do need to note, however, that before renting a boat taking a boating safety course is a good move.

Why? Let us count the ways.

1. It may be the law. Every state has different rules and regulations regarding the requirements for running a boat (personal watercraft included), and many of them require taking a course to obtain a boating license and/or safety certificate. How will you know what’s required in your state? That’s easy — just check out our State Boating Laws, Rules, & Regulations Map. 2. Taking a boating safety course greatly improves your safety margin afloat. True, statistically speaking, driving a boat is far safer than driving a car in the first place. And besides, you can learn a lot about boating safety simply by reading our Boating Safety Guide. Still, just about everyone would agree that safer boating is better boating, and taking a boater safety course is an excellent way to learn

about many common mishaps and how to avoid them.

3. With the confidence you’ll have after taking a boating course, you’re likely to go farther, stay out longer, and enjoy more diverse boating activities.

Many people feel a bit stressed before they become accustomed to captaining a boat, and as a result, may hold back on some of the experiences they’d like to have or the distances they’d like to travel. Plus, lots of new boaters worry about things like how to anchor a boat or boat docking. Knowing that you’ve educated yourself you’ll feel more confident behind the helm. And as a result, you’ll feel much more prepared to try out new things and head for new places as you leave all that stress in your wake.

4. If you take more advanced courses, it can expand the pool of boats available for you to rent. Better training will allow you to handle larger, more complex boats. And in some cases, education and/or experience may be a prerequisite for boat rentals over a certain size or complexity level. Even if it isn’t mandatory, what good is it to rent a boat with equipment you my not know how to use? Additional education will help you make the most out of the rental and maximize your enjoyment afloat.

5. Often, it’s free. This does depend on the type of course you want to take, and more advanced or inperson classes may come at a price. However, there are many courses that you can take online which

don’t cost a dime. In many cases these are the same courses or the same types of courses you may need to take to get a boating license if your state requires one.

Considering all of the above, it should be clear that taking a boat safety course before you rent a boat is the smart move. But when you put these five

reasons together, you create one more thing that should encourage taking a course: knowing that you’ll be operating within the law, safer, with more confidence, with more boats to choose from, and that doing so didn’t cost you any additional money, you and everyone aboard is bound to have more fun.

And that is, after all, why renting a boat is such a good idea in the first place.

Captain’sCorner with Captain Ray Markham OFFSHORE/ NEARSHORE With some “go to Mexico” kind of weather, anglers were able to head west just about as far as their boats could take them. Beyond 120-feet, some big fish are being caught. On the big fish hit list, some monster amberjacks, loads of big red grouper, blackfin tunas, wahoo, sailfish, swordfish, and others were landed this week. The full moon Monday night turned on the mangrove snapper bite just about everywhere. The deepwater areas are producing mangos up to 10-pounds.

Nearshore waters have been producing mangrove snapper in the 1-to 3-pound size class. Most have been caught either on live shrimp or smaller pilchards. Most rock piles, ledges, or artificial reefs are holding them.

Anglers getting an early start will likely find Spanish mackerel along the beaches as the sun rises. The bite might last an hour or longer, but usually fizzles out by about 9 a.m. Most of the macks have been caught inside of about 30-feet of water. Trolling spoons on a flatline, behind a #1, and a #2 planer will be your best bet to find these fish, but spotting bait pods and diving birds will get you into fish as fast as anything. Bring a pair of binoculars to spot birds at a distance. The run-and-gun method can put you on fish quickly, especially when they surface to feed m o m e nt a r i l y and then go

back down. By having spoons covering multiple depths in the water column you have the best chance at connecting with fish. You might have one larger spoon like a Drone Spoon back on a shotgun well behind the others to attract a kingfish that might be tracking the school of Spanish to chew.

Keep a rod rigged and ready with a live crab while approaching wrecks and artificial reefs. This versatile bait can possibly allow you to connect with permit or cobia that can be found feeding in these areas. A pinfish or an eel-type lure will also work for cobia.

Berkley Power Eels and most of the large jerk baits in dark colors can fool cobia.

INSHORE This has been a week of exploration for me. I’ve spent the bulk of my time searching the south Pinellas area from Fort Desoto east to Pinellas Point and north to the St. Pete. Pier on the western side of the bay in search of fish, and most particularly, speckled trout. For the past year, it’s been just about a zero score on catching much of anything. But this week I’m happy to say we caught quite a few very small trout ranging from 8-to 12-inches in length. All were caught on CAL Jigs with Shad tails and DOA Shrimp, with the shrimp outpacing all other lures we tried. In addition to the spotted seatrout, we found silver trout.

This is a fish that has been somewhat absent for the past few years. Lizardfish, ladyfish, bluefish, pinfish, and a fair number of small schools of

with Captain Dylan Hubbard This past week we had a truly awe inspiring offshore pelagic bite with a nearly 100lb wahoo followed the next day by a big sailfish! Plus, we are seeing the tuna action out there still from time to time and we still have the occasional kingfish roaming around too. If you make it offshore right now, do not forget to have that flat line out because its just a crazy time of year with a chance for just about anything pelagic wise. That wahoo was truly crazy, we were filming a fishing show with the guys from Ta Mahoney Company in Tampa. They have a show called ‘Tails from the Darkside’ on WayPoint TV that I highly recommend if you haven’t seen it before. So we are fishing around 170-200ft of water for red grouper, scamp, mangroves, triggerfish and whatever else we can get chewing. Unfortunately it was right behind the full moon and we were being inundated with the red snapper really heavily with the occasional big gag grouper so it was kind of a tougher bottom fishing start to the day.

We luckily didn’t forget the flat line though and we casted it out at our stops once we all got rods to the bottom. Around the third stop of the day the flat line went out and only about 5 minutes later the reel literally started to scream to the point of smoking a bit. The line ripped through the water like nothing I had ever seen before while the reel screamed drag. The fish ran away from the boat at first, but then turned and ran towards the back and beyond the boat ripping the line through the water. Then turned and ran forward ripping more line as it ran. We started to scream for everyone to reel in their lines and before we got a l l the lines in the fish had already changed directions four times and started to lap around the boat. It ran around the boat three times and after interacting with the anchor line a little too much

16

and almost getting hung in the motors once we decide to pull the anchor and fight this fish while keeping it where we want it using Capt Dave’s boat handling skills to keep us broadside to the fish.

This was no easy task as it continued to make huge runs and try and make laps around the vessel but with the anchor up and motors on those big Yamaha 425s were able to keep us right where we needed to be. After around thirty minutes of intense runs and big direction changes and about four of us on the reel passing it back and forth around obstacles and avoiding snags the fish seemingly changed techniques.

Instead of fast runs and intense movements it just started staying steady and deep with more just dead weight. It was another 24 minutes or more of this until she finally came up to the surface and there was this boat wide gasp as we couldn’t believe the size and confirmed it was our intended targeted species of wahoo. Screams of directions were given, gaffs prepared and we all ran up to the bow to where we had now positioned the last guy on the rod.

Once the fish got up on the surface, Capt Dave brought the boat up to the fish and I had the pleasure of the long gaff in hand and stuck it just behind the eyes right into the brain. The gaff struck with all my force and weight and the fish didn’t even move, normally when you stick a fish they nearly come out of the water but this fish was so heavy it felt like I gaffed a sunken red wood tree. Just a massive thud and no movement! Luckily Mike was next to me and he got a second gaff into the fish and we were able to hoist her onto the bow. As she hit the deck the stressed and tired single strand stinger rig popped right out of the mouth. We only had the trailer hook in

West Central Florida Southwest Coast pilchards were found in Boca Ciega Bay. Of great concern is that the amount of seagrass in Tampa Bay is in decline and a concern for the estuary. The health of the bay overall since the massive red tide kills over the past few years has become a real issue in many areas of the bay. If seagrass is dying off, the habitat will continue to decline. Scientists are studying this to determine the best route to help restore the bay.

FRESHWATER Early morning topwater fishing with poppers, chuggers, prop baits, and fly poppers has been on tap for the days I chose to hit some lakes. Light winds and sunny skies early in the day can produce some excellent results if you’re on the water by the time the sun peeks up over the eastern horizon. Lakes Tarpon, Seminole (in Pinellas), and Lake Manatee down in Bradenton are productive lakes to fish for bass and bream. Taking a kid fishing with a simple cane pole, some earthworms, crickets, or a crappie jig can provide hours of entertainment.

West Central Florida the fish and only one prong of the treble hook was left in the mouth of the fish as we hoisted it.

Once it smacked the non skid the rig popped clean out of the fish and the single barb that held this trophy fish onto the line was clearly bent nearly straight we were just seconds from loosing this fish clearly and we were all speechless for a brief millisecond realizing how close we came to loosing this fish of a lifetime before screams and elation began to erupt around the vessel! The best part was the cameras were filming this whole time from multiple angles and its going to be a sick fishing show episode for the ‘tails of the darkside’ fishing show that TA Mahoney’s was out there filming with us aboard the Flying HUB 2.

Classic example of never forgetting your flat line, this fish would’ve just passed us by without that flat line out. Also, a great example of why its important to finesse the fish once you get them hooked up and away from any possible snags or break off areas to back the drag and let the rod tire the fish.

As we passed this fish around from angler to angler to fight this monster at one point I noticed one of us were thumbing the spool to try and slow or stop the big runs and we had to holler at everyone if the fish wants to run let them run let the drag do its thing and lets not pull a hook! Luckily, we all worked together and we didn’t pull that hook till she hit the deck! What a memorable fish we all won’t soon forget. Definitely one of the nicest fish I have had the pleasure of gaffing through the brain!

The reef and wrecks have been great! On our longer days we have been venturing out towards the west and fishing west of the Marquesas. If unfamiliar with the Marquesas it is circular shaped set of islands and has a bay in the middle. It is approximately 11 square miles and falls under the protection of the key west national wildlife refuge. To the closest point it is about 20 miles west of Key West and it is known for its fishing, diving, and shipwrecks. The most famous wreck is the Atocha. At 1600 Spanish treasure vessel that went down during a storm.

Out of the 260+ crew aboard it only had 5 survivors. So the location was known however it wasn’t until the 1980s when the mass of its fortune was found. Including 125 gold bars and 24 tons of silver! The surrounding area has many good fishing spots. Coral heads, ledges, and channels hold a ton of species.

Permit bonefish and tarpon cruise the shallows and channels. Groupers, snappers, barracuda, Cobia, and sharks hold

Key West

near the coral heads and wrecks. Off to the south the reef continues on hosting multiple species.

Out last trip out we had a great bite catching many red groupers, big mangroves, muttons, amber jacks, and yellowtails. If the weather conditions are right I recommend making the journey out as it is action packed!

The bay boat has been very busy. Many anglers have been wanting to stay in the back country where it is always calm and go after the silver kings! The tarpon bite has been steady. Having a big game fish sky rocket in the air effortlessly always makes for a memory that will last a life time. If tarpon isn’t your thing sharks, snappers, and jacks will also fill a day up with rod bending action.

Unfortunately, the offshore fishing has still been tough.

On the days we don’t have these crazy high winds some Mahi and wahoo are being caught.

Looking forward to some kind of relief for these weather patterns that have

with Captain Dean Panos Welcome Tuna We are in the prime of blackfin tuna fishing in Miami and yellowfin tuna fishing in the Bahamas. For the past month we have had blackfin tunas every trip. It started with 1 or 2 tunas per trip and just yesterday we caught 6 big blackfins on a half day trip. The blackfins are all 25 to 30 plus pounds. Our biggest for the season so far is 34 lbs. We have been catching the tunas pretty much all day but the best time is usually late afternoon between 3pmand 8pm. We haven’t done any of those late day trips yet but will probably do a few before the season is over. We should see a decline in the blackfin tunas by mid-June and usually by July they are gone. Besides blackfin tunas there have also been quite a few kingfish around. These have been anywhere from a few pounds up to about 40 pounds. Titanium wire with a big bait like a blue runner of goggle eye on the kite is deadly effective. And to top things off, there have been quite a few mahis around on the edge as well. Most of the mahis are good size fish from 15 to 30 pounds but there are almost always some schoolies mixed in as well. Big mahis are a blast, they are colorful, jump around a lot, fast growing and are good to eat. Pretty good combination! Sailfish are still around and can be caught year-round, but I

www.TheMariner.com

would have to say the primary sailfish season is now over or very close to over.

Yes, you can still catch one on any given trip, but they are no longer the targeted species.

While we have blackfin tunas here in South Florida, the Bahamas is now in full swing with their yellowfin tunas.

These tunas are larger than our blackfins and tend to be between 40 and 90 pounds. Most of the guys from South Florida are targeting these tunas in NW Channel between Freeport and Bimini.

You basically look for birds and having a great radar like our Simrad 10KW radar is a definite advantage. Once you find the birds, approach cautiously and get in front of the school, shut down your motors and throw out a few live pilchards as live chum, followed by chunks of dead sardines. Work the area a bit and if you either mark fish on the depth recorder or see tunas busting keep the dead and live chum going while freelining a few rods with either live or cut bait. Once a tuna gites the bait, you will know as line peels off the reel and its game on. Just be aware that the sharks are keen on these tunas schools, so use the heaviest tackle feasible (we use 50lb stand up tackle) and muscle the tuna in before it gets eaten. If

Southeast Coast the sharks are very bad, then leave that school as it doesn’t make sense just to keep feeding sharks tasty yellowfins.

While tuna fishing, keep a keen eye out for mahis that will swim into your spread as well as blue marlin. We always have a rod ready with a big hook and either a big dead bait or lure ready just in case.

Also, while on the subject, the shark situation both here and in the Bahamas has gotten completely out of control.

Most sharks are protected but we have protected them so well that they are now everywhere and catching any fish is a challenge as the sharks simply wait for the struggles of a fish that is hooked and easily devour that fish instead of catching a fish naturally. We hope NOAA is taking a deep look at shark depredation and is coming up with a plan that will help both the fisherman and the shark population.

So as we enter June, we are now getting ready for a few more weeks of tuna fishing and then getting into summertime mahi fishing in the Gulfstream, summertime day time swordfishing and mufti day trips to the Bahamas. Now is the time to look at your calendar and set up your summertime trips.

www.TheMariner.com in a while, are your vessel’s lights operating properly? Do you have a sufficient number of life jackets for the number of passengers aboard? Is your engine’s ventilation system up to par? To get you started on a new year boating adventure, now may be a perfect time to consider getting a 2022 Vessel Safety Check (VSC) offered by certified VSC examiners from the St. Lucie River Power Squadron, also known as America’s Boating Club of Martin County. These trained VSC examiners from the local squadron will point out safety features such as minimum requirements required by the U.S. Coast Guard, examine fundamental mechanical aspects of your vessel, and answer questions how you can have more fun safely on the water. These are just a few of the many discussion points covered in this voluntary examination. As an added plus, Vessel Safety Checks are free to boat owners. And if you don’t “pass muster” with the thorough examination, the summary report is yours and yours alone. No record of any possible deficiencies will be reported to the USCG, state agency or any other authority.

Want to know more about this complimentary Vessel Safety Check program? Contact Peter Burns at (772) 486-2684 or burnspet@aol. com. St. Lucie River Power Squadron, one of more than 300 squadrons nationwide, also offers safe boating classes to the public.

No citations are issued, and the results of the safety check are not reported to any enforcement agency, but a decal is awarded to display when the vessel has passed the examination. The Vessel Safety Check (VSC) is performed at your boat, whether in a slip, at the launch ramp, or in your driveway, by a certified Vessel Examiner, at a mutually-convenient time. It usually takes 20-45 minutes, depending on the size of your boat. After successful inspection you are awarded a vessel safety check sticker which is affixed to your vessel near your state registration sticker.

And they’re not animated cartoon sessions where you have to keep pressing enter to get to the next topic.

Classes are $40 per student and include the books, supplemental materials and course completion certificates. The classes being offered by the Clearwater Coast Guard Auxiliary are conducted on Zoom with the same instructors the student would have had in the classroom and allowing lots of questions

and answers. In addition, because the classes are on the Internet, there’s no commuting to a classroom – the students can be anywhere in Florida! The boating safety class is also a requirement for many boaters in Florida. In the Sunshine State, anyone born after Jan. 1, 1988, must successfully complete a boater safety course approved by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) in order to operate any boat powered by more than 10 horsepower, and they are required to carry their boater education card with them when out on the water along with picture ID. Contact the Coast Guard Auxiliary, Clearwater Flotilla, for boating safety classes at: www. clwboatingsafety.com or by email at clwtr. auxboating@gmail.com or call 727-469-8895.

It starts at 9:00 am and completes at 5:00 pm. The course includes the USCG exam which, if passed, results in a Florida lifetime boating card/license.
