MasterCraft Boat Company Announces Partnership with General Motors, Naming Chevrolet Silverado its Official Truck & Tow Vehicle
December 10 2024 - 1:00PM
MasterCraft Boat Company, the world’s top-selling towboat brand, is
proud to announce an exclusive partnership with General Motors,
naming Chevrolet Silverado as its “Official Truck & Tow
Vehicle” for 2025 and beyond. Building on MasterCraft’s
longstanding collaboration with Ilmor Marine, powered by GM’s
marine technology, this partnership reflects a shared commitment to
innovation, leveraging cutting-edge engineering to deliver
unmatched power and reliability.
The collaboration with Chevrolet will provide comprehensive
support for MasterCraft's premier initiatives, elevating brand
presence and customer engagement throughout the year. As part of
the partnership, MasterCraft will receive eight state-of-the-art
Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD trucks, which will be prominently
featured at marquee events and activations. These include 32 boat
shows, 51 stops of the Rule The Water Tour, the prestigious
Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale auction, Let Her Rip Powered by
Progressive clinics, the American Century Championship Golf
Tournament in Lake Tahoe, Calif., and various dealer-facing
programs.
“MasterCraft is excited to partner with Chevrolet, as both our
brands are committed to providing customers with unmatched
performance and reliability. This collaboration is a perfect
example of that synergy," said Krista Schipner, MasterCraft Vice
President of Marketing. “From the Chevrolet Silverado trucks
enhancing our premier events to the shared engineering that
connects Silverado with our boats, this partnership underscores our
shared mission of empowering customers to make the most of their
adventures and build unforgettable memories."
MasterCraft and Chevrolet exemplify a shared commitment to
cutting-edge technology and performance, highlighted by the
connection between the 5.3L GDI HO engine in MasterCraft boats and
the Chevrolet Silverado. Nearly identical to the available 5.3L
engine under the hood of the LD Silverado, the marine version is
adapted by Ilmor—MasterCraft’s exclusive engine partner—to meet the
unique demands of boating, with modifications to its exhaust,
cooling, and charging systems while retaining the proven
reliability and power Silverado owners expect.
The 5.3L GDI HO engine incorporates advanced technologies like
Direct Injection, delivering responsive and efficient performance
on the water. With Ilmor’s expertise, honed through decades of
automotive racing, the result is an engine that seamlessly bridges
land and water, allowing customers to enjoy unmatched power and
reliability.
“Chevrolet’s partnership with MasterCraft is a
natural fit,” said Steven Majoros, Chief Marketing Officer,
Chevrolet. “Silverado’s proven power and dependability make it the
ideal choice to complement MasterCraft’s industry-leading boats.
Both brands set the benchmark for performance and reliability, and
this collaboration will allow us to showcase that at a host of
premier events across the country.” For more
