When it comes to boats, MasterCraft provides the most complete saltwater solution. Your boat will be ready for sunrise to sunset saltwater adventures thanks to thoughtful engineering and high-quality material.

THE BEST SALTWATER EXPERIENCE

Over the past decade, MasterCraft has meticulously refined materials, vendors, and mechanics to ensure your investment is protected from the harsh environment brought on by saltwater and brackish water. From a powerful, fully closed-cooling motor system with the industry’s best warranty to sacrificial aluminium anodes, every saltwater solution has been carefully thought out, tested, and proven to deliver the quality and reliability you expect from MasterCraft.

Sacrificial Anodes

MasterCraft's underwater gear uses aluminium anode bonding for optimal durability and longevity. Aluminium anodes provide better corrosion protection for underwater gear than the zinc anodes competitors use.

Electrical Bonding Harness

An electrical bonding harness adds additional protection to the metal components you find under the waterline.

Hydraulic Steering

Hydraulic steering is more corrosive resistant than the stainless steel cable systems used by competitors in their saltwater offerings.

STAINLESS STEEL SHOCKS

Standard shocks are replaced by stainless steel shocks to battle corrosive saltwater and extend life in harsh saltwater environments.

SPAGHETTI MESH LINER

MasterCraft's standard storage floor lining is replaced with an easily washable and mildew resistant rubber mesh lining when opting for the saltwater package.

SALTWATER ENGINE UPGRADES

Ilmor engines come standard with a convenient engine flush hookup and corrosive protection paint.

When opting for a saltwater package, the base motor will be upgraded to an Ilmor 5.3L or 6.2L GDI V8. Opt for even more power by upgrading to the Ilmor 6.2L Supercharged engine.
