MasterCraft Boat Company has reintroduced its X23 23ft towboat – eight years after the boat was last produced – with a redesigned model.
The X23 is one of the best all-around boats in the MasterCraft lineup and the redesigned model is designed to carry this legacy forward within the company’s X Family design.
“Since the X23 was last in our lineup in 2018, demand for its return has grown immensely. We’re thrilled to give our customers that option once again,” explained Greg Miller, MasterCraft’s vice president of global sales.
“The X23 originally defined the category, setting the benchmark for surf and wake performance and was the first to introduce features like the transom loungers, which quickly became one of the most loved spaces on the boat.
“This next-generation model carries that standard even further, blending the X Family’s signature luxury with precision handling and elevated performance to create a boat that continues to set the pace for the industry.”
Dual panoramic digital displays
Features of the redesigned model include MasterCraft’s SurfStar System and a 3,800lbs ballast system.
The helm of the X23 features dual panoramic digital displays, intuitive MasterCraft MyDrive controls, keyless ignition and wireless charging.
Optional stern thrusters are complimented by a four-camera system – bow, tower, transom views and a rider-transfer countdown for easier manoeuvrability.
Propulsion is from Ilmor’s 6.2L GDI engine delivering 630hp.
Starting with the fundamentals
MasterCraft says it started with the fundamentals when redesigning the X23, focusing on how the boat drives, how it performs behind the boat and how the crew moves through the cockpit.
Transom loungers are reintroduced with an oversized design, improved ergonomics and premium materials alongside other refinements such as an evolved pickle-fork bow for comfort with deep, secure seating, ergonomic armrests and a dedicated anchor locker.
The Z9 tower is fully power-folding and available in seven powder-coat colour options.
The vessel also incoporates an all-new SoundStage Audio system, developed in partnership with Meridian.
Built-in telematics through MasterCraft Connect provide remote diagnostics, battery management and system monitoring.
