Mastercraft Boat Holdings, Inc.

A maker of high-performance towboats for waterskiing, wakeboarding, and wakesurfing, MasterCraft Boat Holdings builds the MasterCraft line of ski boats plus Crest and Balise pontoon boats. Founder Rob Shirley, a former waterskiing instructor, started the company in 1968 in a two-stall horse barn in Maryville, Tennessee, after tinkering with a hull to create a smaller, smoother wake. The name reflects his aim to build the "master" of all "craft" — boats — for the sport.
