MasterCraft has completely reimagined its X Series. Released over the course of the past year, the redesigned X24, X22, and X23 bring a consistent new identity to one of MasterCraft’s most recognized towboat families. Each model has been rebuilt with a new hull design, updated styling, more thoughtful storage, advanced technology, and an interior designed around how families and riders actually spend their time on the water. 

The new X Series now feels like one connected lineup, with three distinct sizes built around the same focus on premium comfort and serious performance. Whether you want the agility of a 22-foot boat, the balance of a 23-foot platform, or the space of a 24-footer, there is an X Series model designed for you. 

What Is the MasterCraft X Series? 

The X Series sits at the top of MasterCraft’s lineup. These boats are designed for owners who want high-level wakesurf and wakeboard performance without sacrificing comfort, technology, storage, or overall refinement. 

The X Series combines an aggressive profile with a premium on-water experience. These boats are built for riders who care about the shape and adjustability of the wave, but also for families who spend time cruising, swimming, relaxing, and entertaining. The X22, X23, and X24 now share more technology and design language than ever before. 

A Complete Redesign From the Hull Up 

The transformation began with the all-new X24. Instead of making small updates to a proven model, MasterCraft returned to the foundation and rebuilt the boat from the hull up. The X24 introduced the new look and feel that would later carry into the X22 and X23. 

All three boats now feature an evolved or reengineered running surface designed to work with MasterCraft’s SurfStar system. This pairing allows each model to produce clean, powerful, and adjustable waves. Rapid Surf presets simplify setup for riders who want to get behind the boat quickly. Custom Surf controls give more experienced riders the ability to fine-tune the wave for their preferred board, style, or level of progression. 

The redesign goes well beyond wakes and waves. Each model receives a sculpted interior, modern pickle-fork bow, deep seating, integrated storage, updated transom loungers, and cleaner layout. 

Shared Technology Across the New X Series 

One of the greatest strengths of the new lineup is the number of premium features shared across all three models. 

At the helm, dual digital displays provide clear access to important boat functions. MasterCraft MyDrive places control of the speed, ballast, SurfStar settings, cameras, lighting, and audio within easy reach. Keyless ignition and wireless phone charging add convenience without cluttering the dash. 

The fully powered Z9 tower can be raised or lowered at the push of a button. It offers multiple powder-coat colors, integrated bimini options, and available board racks. 

SoundStage audio, developed with Meridian, brings a more immersive listening experience to the entire boat. The system uses intentional speaker placement and tuning to provide clear, balanced sound throughout the cockpit. Owners who want to carry the music farther toward the rider can add the available MAAX transom audio package. 

The redesigned X helm is available with a stern thruster and four-camera system. Bow, tower, and transom views can help the driver see more around the boat, while a rider-transfer countdown helps when someone is switching between regular and goofy surfing. These features can add confidence when docking and maneuvering. 

The MasterCraft X22 

At 22 feet, 3 inches, the X22 is the most compact model in the new X Series. Its smaller footprint makes it a strong choice for owners who value responsive handling, easier maneuverability, or compatibility with a smaller lake. It still provides seating for up to 15 people, so choosing the smallest X does not mean giving up the ability to bring a full crew. 

The X22 carries 3,800 pounds of ballast and pairs it with SurfStar and FastFill. Its new running surface is designed to create a long, clean surf pocket with consistent push. Wakeboarders can expect firm, symmetrical wakes with a defined lip and predictable transitions. 

Inside, pushed-out gunwales help the X22 feel larger than its length suggests. Deep seating, integrated cupholders, cubbies, wireless charging, and speaker grilles keep the cockpit comfortable and organized. Drain channels help keep wet storage compartments cleaner. 

The transom is especially useful. Oversized rear loungers create a comfortable place to relax between sets. Beneath them, dual compartments can hold up to four boards in padded, removable bags. The bags slide on integrated tracks and can be removed when you need the compartments for larger equipment. Additional storage keeps ropes, towels, and everyday gear easy to reach. 

The X22 is the best fit for families who want the complete X Series experience in a compact, agile package. It is smaller than the other models, but its performance, technology, and finish are anything but entry-level. 

The MasterCraft X23 

The X23 name carries plenty of history. The original became known for its dependable performance behind the boat and its signature transom loungers. Even after it left the lineup, it remained a frequently requested model. The all-new X23 brings that familiar name back with the technology and design approach of the modern X Series. 

Measuring 22 feet, 11 inches, the X23 is positioned directly between the X22 and X24. It offers seating for up to 16 people and carries 3,800 pounds of ballast. MasterCraft describes its personality as a combination of the X22’s agility and the X24’s spacious design philosophy. That makes it an appealing middle ground for owners who want more room than the X22 without stepping into the overall size of the X24. 

The updated running surface pairs with SurfStar to produce a clean pocket and consistent push. Wakes are designed to remain firm, balanced, and predictable. Rapid Surf presets make setup easy, while Custom Surf provides greater control. 

The open cockpit combines premium upholstery, deep seating, wireless charging, integrated storage, and durable hardware. MasterCraft also retained the model’s recognizable transom loungers. They are now larger and more refined, with improved ergonomics and board storage below. 

For many families, the X23 may be the sweet spot of the lineup. It offers generous passenger space, high-level performance, and much of the storage and comfort found in the X24. At the same time, it maintains a size that should feel manageable for a wide range of owners. 

The MasterCraft X24 

The X24 was the first model to introduce this new generation of X Series design. At 24 feet, 3 inches with seating for up to 17 people, it is the largest of the three. It is designed for owners who regularly bring a large crew, carry plenty of water sports gear, or simply want the greatest amount of space and presence available in the X lineup. 

With 4,050 pounds of ballast, a reengineered hull, SurfStar, and FastFill, the X24 is built to create a substantial surf wave. Riders can adjust the wave for different skill levels and preferences, making it possible for beginners and experienced surfers to enjoy the same boat. The standard Ilmor 6.2L GDI engine provides dependable torque, while an available supercharged 6.2L engine offers additional power for owners who want maximum performance. 

The cockpit is wider and has clean sightlines. Dual displays, MyDrive, available cameras, and the optional stern thruster support the captain, while passengers benefit from premium materials, charging locations, and storage throughout. 

At the stern, redesigned loungers provide a comfortable place to watch riders or relax at the sandbar. The X24’s storage system can carry up to four boards in padded rear compartments. When paired with bimini storage for as many as six more, the boat can keep up to 10 boards secured and out of the main seating areas. This is a major advantage for families who bring several types of surfboards, wakeboards, and foils. 

The X24 is ideal for owners who want maximum room, ballast, storage, and capability. It delivers the boldest version of the new X Series experience. 

X22 vs. X23 vs. X24: Which One Is Right for You? 

Although these models share a clear design philosophy, size still makes a meaningful difference. 

The X22 is the most agile option. It is well suited for smaller lakes, smaller crews, and owners who want responsive handling without losing premium features or serious performance. 

The X23 provides the middle ground. It adds passenger space while retaining a manageable feel behind the wheel. For many buyers, it offers the most versatile balance of size, comfort, and performance. 

The X24 is built for maximum space and capability. Its larger passenger capacity, additional ballast, greater storage volume, and ability to carry more boards make it a natural choice for large families and dedicated watersports crews. 

Consider where you boat, how many people come with you, what you tow with, where the boat will be stored, and which activities matter most. A test drive can also reveal differences in handling, cockpit space, wave characteristics, and visibility that specifications cannot. 

A New Chapter for the MasterCraft X Series 

With the X22, X23, and X24 now completely redesigned, MasterCraft has created a more unified X Series without making the three boats feel identical. Each model delivers the premium materials, useful technology, intelligent storage, and behind-the-boat performance expected from the X name. The main decision is how much boat best fits your lifestyle.
