It's a 2008 mastercraft x star 40th anniversary edition. Arguably one of the sexiest wake boats made to date.. It's been my dream to own one since I first heard of them. Never thought I would own one honestly. I wasn't even looking and a buddy sent me the link.. Right deal showed up at the right time.

Here's another picture of one on the water.. Only about 100 were made.

(Not my picture or exact boat but the same thing)

Oh and I did work on my truck today too. Was slow at work so I pulled the radiator, intercooler, rad support and all that junk out.. Pulled the mockup motor out. Took out some old hid wiring and dropped the 480 off to have the flange welded on it. Also ordered a wetzel wheel for the ihi since I fubard the stock wheel when I took the cover off to clean it..

Truck is ready for engine and trans to be poked in.. Trying to decide if I'm going to wait until I have my ihi turbo on the engine or not..

Don't forget to massage that cab for the drivers manifold and up-pipe... I ground the outer flange of the manifold where it's closest to the cab as well.

Oh and I want to see some half naked chicks hanging off that boat. Boats-N-Hoes right?

Slow day at work today.. Worked on the 7..

Got my frame idler gusset welded in

Pulled and drained the tank and installed my beans sump.. Ordered a fitting for it to hook up to the 5/8 feed hose the air dog has.

Made my air dog bracket how I like em, high up and not visual from the exterior

Cleaned up the frame and scotch brited it and hit it with a wire wheel in a few places.. Going to undercoat it while it's on the lift at work.

Picked up my 480 cover from having the flange welded on it and polished the inside some

Polished up the inside of the ihi until my powerball gave up.
