Inside the cockpit, dual panoramic digital displays and MasterCraft MyDrive controls offer intuitive operation. Keyless ignition, wireless charging, optional stern thrusters and a four-camera system enhance maneuverability and captain confidence.

4. Design Refinements and Engagement

Refined transom loungers, premium upholstery and integrated storage elevate crew comfort and functionality. The Z9 power-folding tower, Meridian SoundStage audio and MasterCraft Connect telematics enable remote diagnostics, battery management and enhanced customer connectivity.
