Built for Speed
The MasterCraft X-Star is the hottest item
at Cincinnati MasterCraft. The flagship model, designed from stem to
stern to produce the perfect wake for watersports, is “the boat you want
to have,” says Jason Haines, a partner in the business with a passion
for the water and wakeboards. (24 foot, standard 430 horsepower,
$115,000-$133,000.) 330 Weaver Road, Suite 400, Florence. (859) 525-9253

Go the Distance
The GranFondo GF 01 is the perfect choice
for riders who want to put down 30 miles one day and 30 the next, says
Jason Reser, who started Reser Bicycle when he was 20. Swiss engineering
and the lightweight carbon fiber frame deliver a smooth ride. The
slightly more upright riding position is great for distance riding.
