Dear Shareholders

At MasterCraft, we are excited to see so many people embracing boating as a fun and safe recreational activity for enjoying the outdoors. We believe our record sales and earnings in 2021 from consumers seeking the boating lifestyle and supporting our br ands reflects the success of our focus on consumer experience, digital marketing, operational excellence and human capital development.

The credit for our success goes to the more than 1,500 employees that deliver the quality and innovation that underpins the strength of our MasterCraft, Aviara Crest, and NauticStar brands. To deliver our growth our workforce expanded by more than 600 hourly and

50 salary personnel during the past year. Our focus on attracting, developing and retaining our highly skilled and specialized workforce and keeping them safe, has been critical to our success

Our strategic focus

In 2021 our priority was executing our strategic growth plan to meet record demand. We focused on new product innovation to meet customer needs and expectations. We also invested significantly in digital marketing to increase brand awareness and create a community of interest to drive sales. We launched several immersive digital experiences for our consumers, allowing them to learn about our brands in a 360-degree digital environment These unique digital showrooms allowed consumers to immerse themselves in each of our brands in a way they would typically do in traditional in person boat shows. The results we have seen in consumer site traffic, website engagement and lead generation have been dramatic.

We sustained the acceleration of operational excellence programs across all our manufacturing facilities to drive throughput improvements and enhance quality. Special mention goes to our outstanding supply chain team that did a tremendous job of minimizing the disruptions facing the industry to achieve our record production

Strengthening our Board

In July 2021 we elected Jennifer Deason to our Board of Directors. She brings a wealth of leadership financial and digital experience to support the company s growth. Ms. Deason s appointment increases the size of the Company s board to eight members all of whom bring diverse knowledge and skills and seven of which are independent. As part of our focus on enhancing accountability and improving governance, we continue on our transition to a fully declassified Board which will be completed by the 2022 meeting.

On behalf of the entire Board, I thank you for your investment in our company. We ask for your voting support on the items contained in this proxy, and thank you for taking the time to cast your vote.

Sincerely

Frederick A. Brightbill

CEO and Chairman of the Board
