1976 MasterCraft Stars & Bars

Stock # 182697
1976 MasterCraft Stars & Bars 18' Wett Vett. Inboard 410 V8 Stroker 700HP Gasoline Engine with 50 Hours. High-Performance Classic!

Overview:
A rare and beautifully restored 1976 MasterCraft Stars & Bars hull transformed into a high-performance marine machine. “Wett Vett” combines classic MasterCraft lines with modern muscle — professionally engineered and dyno-verified for brutal acceleration and reliable power. At 18' LOA, this boat showcases MasterCraft craftsmanship with a full ground-up custom build focused on maximum performance. With only ~50 hours since the rebuild, it’s fine-tuned for speed, responsiveness, and durability on the water.

This turnkey, race-oriented platform is ideal for drag runs, lake blasts, or high-speed cruising. Dyno-tested and capable of producing a theoretical 700 HP, with a conservative, reliable output between 500–600 HP at the prop, it delivers real-world power without stressing the drivetrain. Properly cooled with water jackets, it rockets 0–50 mph in ~7 seconds.
