MasterCraft Reintroduces the All-New X23, an Iconic Platform Reimagined for the Modern X Family Lineup

After Years of High Consumer Demand, a Completely Redesigned 23-foot Platform Builds on its Proven Legacy

New X23 Blends Precise Handling, Spacious Comfort, Advanced Technology and Industry-Leading Wake and Wave Performance

VONORE, Tenn., April 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- After eight years of growing consumer demand, MasterCraft Boat Company, a subsidiary of MasterCraft Boat Holdings, Inc, (NASDAQ: MCFT) and the best-selling towboat brand in the U.S., is pleased to announce the return of an all-new and completely redesigned X23. The new 23-foot platform sets the standard for surf performance and continues its legacy, effortlessly blending performance, comfort, and control.

The X23 has long been known as one of the best all-around boats in the MasterCraft lineup that is big enough to host a full crew, yet precise enough to handle like a smaller boat, all while delivering trusted wakes and waves every set. 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.

"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,” said 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.”

Sharper Performance & Innovation

The X Family has always been where MasterCraft pushes the boundaries of what a luxury towboat can become, and the X23 carries that philosophy forward with design, performance, and innovation working seamlessly as one.

Performance behind the boat is where the X23 truly sets the standard. An evolved hull works in harmony with MasterCraft’s industry-leading SurfStar System and a substantial 3,800-pound ballast system to deliver powerful, customizable wakes and waves that riders trust from the first pull. Long, clean pockets offer surfers consistent push, while wakeboarders enjoy firm, balanced wakes with crisp transitions. As is the case with all MasterCraft models (other than ProStar), the Rapid Surf presets make setup simple, and Custom Surf controls let riders fine-tune every wave to their preference at all skill levels, combining the familiarity longtime boaters expect with the refinement of a modern X platform.
