These are asking prices. No free or public source publishes US used-boat transaction prices, so nobody — us included — can honestly show you what these boats sold for. What we can show you is what 52 sellers are asking, which is the number you are actually negotiating against.

52 distinct boats observed high confidence Updated September 13, 2026

51 priced listings across 12 states is a national sample, so the range is stable.

Method: Asking prices from active listings, de-duplicated so a re-posted boat counts once (136 raw listings collapsed to 52 distinct boats). Quartiles, not averages, so one outlier cannot move the band. Rounded to $500.

Coverage: Model years 1987–2003, 12 states, 26 metro areas. New-boat listings excluded.

    12 federal recall campaigns on file touch this builder. Check the specific hull against the recall list below before you put money down; remedies are free but only if the work was actually done.

Each point is tagged with the evidence behind it. Nothing here is a claim we cannot trace back to a counted listing, a federal record, or a named analyst judgement.

Asking prices from active listings we observed, not sold prices. No public source publishes US used-boat transaction prices; anyone showing you "sold" data for this market is estimating it. Years with fewer than 3 priced listings show the count only.

What to inspect on a used MasterCraft 190 Prostar

  1. Assume saltwater service unless the seller can prove otherwise: pull the engine cowling and look at the powerhead, check trim-cylinder rams for pitting, and open the battery and fuse boxes for green corrosion. 60% of the listings we observed for this model are in coastal states.
  2. On the older hulls, core moisture is the deal-breaker: sound the transom and the deck with a plastic mallet, and treat any soft or dull-sounding area as a survey-stopper rather than a bargaining chip. We observe listings back to 1987, so boats over 39 years old are actively traded in this model.

This list is specific to this model: analyst items for the hull, plus items driven by the engines and the regions we actually observe on 190 Prostar listings. It is not a generic pre-purchase checklist, and it does not replace a surveyor.

MasterCraft 190 Prostar FAQ

How much does a used MasterCraft 190 Prostar cost?
Across 52 listings BoatVerdict has observed for model years 1987 to 2003, the median asking price is $9,000. The middle half of the market asks between $7,000 and $12,500, and the full observed range runs $1,900 to $23,500. These are asking prices, not sold prices.
Which model year of the MasterCraft 190 Prostar is the best value?
On asking price alone the 1990 is the cheapest year we track with a usable sample (4 priced listings, median $4,500). "Best value" also depends on what changed between years, so read the year table above rather than buying on price alone — and note we do not claim a "best year" we cannot evidence.
Are there recalls on the MasterCraft 190 Prostar?
12 federal recall campaigns are on file for this builder in the USCG and CPSC data we ingest. Recalls are issued per hull-identification range, so check the specific HIN — the recall list on this page links to each campaign and what it covers.

How this page was built

BoatVerdict tracks used-boat listings across the US and folds them onto canonical models, so "190 prostar" all resolve to this one page rather than three thin ones. For the MasterCraft 190 Prostar that gives us 52 distinct boats (from 136 raw listings, before we collapsed re-posts). Publication decision: 52 distinct observations, 51 priced, 12 states, 5 model years.

We separate what we counted from what we concluded. Asking prices, listing counts, state spread and engine mix are counted. Severity ratings, ownership cost and the take are BoatVerdict analysis, labelled as such. Recalls and registry counts are primary records from federal and state sources.
