what is this boat suitable for?
the mastercraft prostar 190 is primarily suitable as a waterski and wakeboard boat. her sporty design, powerful inboard engine and included ski pylon make her appealing to recreational boaters who want to enjoy active time on the water. the ski pylon provides a more favourable attachment point for skiing and contributes to an enjoyable boating experience for both beginners and more experienced watersports enthusiasts.
she is also suitable for relaxed leisure boating on lakes, canals and other inland waterways. the layout provides space to spend a day on the water with family or friends. the included life jackets, fenders, lines and custom-fitted cover make her practically ready for use from the start of the boating season.
which engine is fitted in the mastercraft prostar 190?
the boat is powered by a 1993 indmar v8 inboard petrol engine producing 265 hp. this eight-cylinder engine is electrically started and operated via a steering wheel. the classic engine design contains relatively few electronic components, making it straightforward and accessible for technically minded owners to inspect and maintain.Â
the engine is operational. the starter motor was replaced in 2025. in 2026, the electrical system was checked, the bilge pump and blower were overhauled, and a new battery was installed. the boat has a 12-volt system with one 74 Ah battery. onboard instruments include a fuel gauge, oil pressure gauge, temperature gauge and tachometer. the fuel tank has a capacity of 45 litres.
what is the condition of the boat?
the boat is in reasonable condition, consistent with her age and history of use. the interior is complete, although some parts could benefit from freshening up. this provides a solid basis for someone who wants to further care for her according to their own preferences. the boat was taken out of the water for maintenance in 2026.
one point to note is the steering. the steering wheel currently turns somewhat stiffly. this can be improved by lubricating the steering system with a grease gun. In the longer term, it may be necessary to replace the steering cable. this is an important point to take into account when assessing the boat, but it does not prevent her from being used as a project-oriented waterski boat if the new owner is willing to carry out this maintenance.
what is included?
the mastercraft prostar 190 comes with suitable equipment. she has an electrically operated bilge pump, an anchor with chain, a swim platform, fenders, lines and a custom-fitted cover. life jackets and a ski pylon for waterskiing are also included. there is no toilet, which is customary for this compact, sporty type of boat.
the boat is also supplied with a 1998 pam road trailer. this trailer has one axle, is braked and is equipped with a trailer winch. its dimensions are approximately 6.50 by 2.04 metres and its load capacity is 1,300 kilograms. the trailer is currently used as a storage trailer and is sold in that capacity. some old French documents are still present, but there is no CE certificate. the trailer has no registration plate.
why choose this classic mastercraft?
the mastercraft prostar 190 combines a distinctive classic appearance with the features that make her popular as a sporty boat. her polyester construction, powerful indmar v8 and included ski pylon provide an attractive basis for waterskiing, wakeboarding and active leisure boating. she is compact enough to remain practical, while also offering the appearance and experience of a true American watersports classic.
for a buyer looking for a mastercraft prostar 190 with a trailer, a working v8 engine and a clear maintenance history, this boat represents an interesting opportunity. her interior and steering require attention, but the fundamentals are complete and the boat has benefited from various recent maintenance works. through boatauction, she could be an excellent next step for someone who wants to make full use of her on inland waters once again.
