Is a MasterCraft boat supposed to be hard to steer?
No, sounds like something is wrong with your rudder or steering cable. I own numerous boats and and my Ski Nautique (like your mastercraft) is the best driving boat of them all. The steering is extremely easy because there is little to no torque on the rudder compared to all the torque generated by outboard motors where the propulsion system is doing the steering.
Do all newly made boats have an outboard motor?
The short answer is no. Boats are made with outboard, inboard-outboard, a hybrid using an inboard engine driving a stern mounted shaft that looks like the lower end of an outboard. Others use inboard engines, typically larger cruiser and specialty ski boats. Personal watercraft use a inboard engine powering a water jet pump. This jet drive system is also used in some boats. Most smaller boats are powered by outboards. New large outboards up to 400HP permit larger boats some over 30 ft long to be outboard powered. Most mid-size boats from 18-30 feet are powered by inboard-outboard systems to take advantage of larger automotive engines.
