The redesigned MasterCraft X23 blends performance, comfort, and control, with a focus on premium materials and precise engineering.Vonore TodayMasterCraft Boat Company, a subsidiary of MasterCraft Boat Holdings, Inc., is reintroducing the all-new and completely redesigned X23 boat. The 23-foot platform sets the standard for surf performance and continues its legacy, effortlessly blending performance, comfort, and control. The redesigned model carries its legacy forward within the modern X Family design, combining the agility of the X22 with the spacious interior of the X24 – elevating ergonomics, technology, and materials to meet the expectations of today's riders and families.
Why it matters
The X23 has long been known as one of the best all-around boats in the MasterCraft lineup, big enough to host a full crew yet precise enough to handle like a smaller boat. Its return after an 8-year hiatus is in response to high consumer demand, as the X23 originally defined the category and set the benchmark for surf and wake performance.
The details
The all-new X23 features an evolved hull that works in harmony with MasterCraft's industry-leading SurfStar System and a 3,800-pound ballast system to deliver powerful, customizable wakes and waves. The helm features dual panoramic digital displays, intuitive MasterCraft MyDrive controls, keyless ignition, and wireless charging. Powering the X23 is Ilmor's proven 6.2L GDI engine, with an available 6.2L Supercharged engine producing 630 horsepower and 665 pound-feet of torque. The redesigned cockpit is sculpted, unified, and intentionally laid out to feel open and refined, with deep supportive seating, premium upholstery, and carefully considered proportions.
- The X23 was last in MasterCraft's lineup in 2018.
- The all-new X23 is being reintroduced in 2026.
