VONORE, 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 behind-the-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.
