MasterCraft X25
My brother just took delivery of a custom ordered new for 2010 X25. It's exactly the same length as the current LSV - 21'-6". He spec'd it with the 400 HP engine which seems like overkill, but it is rated to hold 16 people. It's got some nice features and others that I don't care for.
I am going to his lakehouse the first week of August for a week and can't wait to experience it for one whole week. It's suppose to have a sick wake with just stock ballast.
I don't have a pic of his exact boat but it's got all red gelcoat and he spec'd the mocha vinyl (baseball glove brown color) with red trim, which I don't particularly care for. It's certainly unique though. He got practically all the options including the built in video cam that tracks the rider and records to an SD card.
Does anyone on this forum boat on Council Grove City lake in Kansas? If so, you can't miss him.
Below are a couple links.

I have been mulling over creating a tracking camera since I got my boat in 2005! The only thing that I found would work using anything other than a passive arm on the tow rope was a system created by a graduate student at Oxford, and that was for ocean rescue.
Can you tell me a bit about the Mastecraft's camera? Does it mechanically follow the rope, or is it a full motion-tracking system? Motion tracking on water is hard because the background changes rapidly and the object being tracked keeps changing in appearance.2005 XLV, upgraded ballast, Comptech swivel wakeboard and hydrofoil racks, Monster cargo bimini

Ian,
I am currently building a motion tracking system and I hope to have V1 finished by the end of next month depending on parts and some of my friends time. Nothing will attach to the rope and it will track the person in the water. I will post pic's and the video when it is finished and working.2008 Outback V - Sold but never forgotten.

Ian,
I was looking at the photo's of the Video camera and it looks like they extended up the ski rope holder and it moves with the rope. No arm but will only track the rope.2008 Outback V - Sold but never forgotten.

just watched the vid. nice boat, but I bet it has a nice price to go along with it..
I have seen one of the motion cameras on a boat. it moves with the rope as it swivels with the rider. it's attached to the top of the rope hook on the tower.'06 Supra Launch 20SSV-gone but never forgotten
