American Water Sports is proud to present this brokered 2004 MasterCraft X2 - one of the most iconic wakeboard boats ever built and a chance to step into MasterCraft ownership at a value price point that simply isn't possible with current-model X-Series or NXT builds. Brokered through our Shell Knob location on Table Rock Lake (Stock #B-SK-N2NV1, Hull #MBCN2NV1F404), this 2004 X2 is powered by MasterCraft's 5.7-liter MCX V8 inboard engine - Indmar-built, MasterCraft-spec'd, and the workhorse powertrain that defined an entire generation of MasterCraft ski-and-wake boats. With 750 engine hours over twenty-one seasons, this X2 has averaged about 36 hours per year of actual use - a moderate, well-cared-for profile for a vintage MasterCraft. For the buyer looking for a genuine MasterCraft V-drive wakeboard boat at a fraction of current-model investment - a first ski/wake boat, a value-priced second boat, a brand-loyal entry into the MasterCraft universe - this 2004 X2 is one of the most credible options on the Table Rock pre-owned market.
Why a MasterCraft X2?
MasterCraft Boats is one of the most respected ski-and-wake boat builders in the world - built in Vonore, Tennessee since 1968, MasterCraft has set the standard for direct-drive competition skiing, V-drive wakeboarding, and (in modern configurations) forward-drive surfing. The X2 specifically was MasterCraft's mid-range V-drive wakeboard boat, in production from the early 2000s through the mid-2010s - the boat that put MasterCraft V-drive ownership within reach of buyers who wanted the brand cachet and on-water performance of MasterCraft without stepping all the way up to the X-Series or X-Star flagship line. The X2 platform is sized just right for wakeboarding and skiing - long enough to throw a clean wake, short enough to handle and trailer easily, and with a hull design optimized for wakeboarding behind a V-drive. For the ski/wake boat buyer who wants a real production wakeboard boat (rather than a runabout-with-a-tower) at a genuine value price point, the MasterCraft X2 is one of the most established, most-supported pre-owned platforms on the market.
5.7L MCX V8 Inboard - Indmar-Built Workhorse Powertrain
Power on this X2 comes from MasterCraft's 5.7-liter MCX V8 inboard engine - a 320-horsepower, fuel-injected, marinized small-block V8 built by Indmar Marine Engines in Tennessee and spec'd specifically for MasterCraft applications. The MCX is the workhorse powertrain that defined an entire generation of MasterCraft ski-and-wake boats. Why it matters as a pre-owned engine choice: parts, service, and rebuild support are exceptionally well-developed for this engine - Indmar small-block V8 platforms have been the standard inboard ski/wake engine for forty-plus years, and any competent marine mechanic can support them. With 750 hours on the clock, this MCX has considerable service life remaining - properly-maintained Indmar-spec V8s routinely run 1,500-2,500+ hours before major overhaul. V-drive inboard configuration places the engine amidships with the transmission/V-drive at the rear and the prop/shaft running aft under the hull - the classic wakeboarding configuration that produces the kind of wake wakeboarders are looking for.
V-Drive Inboard Configuration - The Wakeboard Wake
The X2's V-drive inboard configuration is what defines its behavior on the water. The engine sits amidships with a V-drive transmission turning the prop shaft 180 degrees and running it aft under the hull - placing the prop further back and the engine weight further aft than a traditional direct-drive ski boat. The result is a wake that's bigger, ramp-ier, and more wakeboard-friendly than a direct-drive competition slalom hull. Add factory ballast (when fitted) or aftermarket ballast bags, and the wake amplifies further. It's worth noting that this 2004-vintage X2 predates the modern forward-drive surf revolution - wakesurfing wasn't yet mainstream when the X2 was designed - so this is fundamentally a wakeboard-and-ski platform rather than a wakesurf boat. The prop position on a V-drive places the spinning prop directly under the wake and rope behind the boat, which is why MasterCraft (and the rest of the industry) moved to forward-drive propulsion on dedicated surf boats. For wakeboarding, slalom skiing, tubing, and casual lake-day cruising, the V-drive X2 layout is ideal.
A 21-Year-Old MasterCraft - Why Brand Choice Matters at This Vintage
Twenty-one years is a meaningful vintage for a fiberglass ski/wake boat, and brand choice matters at that vintage as much as or more than current condition. MasterCraft is one of the few ski/wake brands where a twenty-year-old boat can still be fully supported by the factory and the dealer network - the company has been continuously producing similar V-drive platforms since the 1980s, parts availability is exceptionally well-developed, and Indmar engine support is broadly available from any competent marine shop. The X2 specifically has a well-developed used-market support ecosystem: replacement windshields, replacement upholstery patterns, replacement seat skins, replacement tower hardware, replacement gauges, and replacement helm electronics are all available through established aftermarket suppliers. For a buyer who wants to own a real MasterCraft at the most accessible price point in the MasterCraft lineup, the X2 vintage delivers exactly that - and 750 hours of moderate use means the boat has been used and maintained, but not run hard.
Wakeboard Boat Layout - Tower, Cockpit & Ski/Wake Capability
The X2 cockpit layout is purpose-built for ski/wake duty. The raised wakeboard tower (when equipped - and most X2 builds shipped with a factory tower from this era) provides the elevated tow-point that defines wakeboarding rope geometry. Tower-mounted speakers and tower-mounted board racks were common factory and dealer-add accessories. The cockpit runs a wraparound passenger layout with helm-and-companion seating forward, a U-shaped dinette/lounge in the cockpit center, and either a sun pad or rear-facing observer seating across the transom - the observer seating being the location for the tow-spotter when MasterCraft is delivering classic ski/wake function. Ski locker storage, integrated tow eye, swim platform with boarding ladder, and rear ladder for rider re-boarding round out the platform. Tower configuration, ballast equipment (factory hard tanks vs. plug-and-play vs. aftermarket bags), audio system, helm electronics, and trailer status on this specific boat are documented in person at our Shell Knob location.

Overview
The Mastercraft X-24 is a premium towboat that represents the first model in the company's redesigned X-Series, evolving from the award-winning X-23. This new series features a comprehensive overhaul in terms of features, functionality, hull design, and wake performance, aiming to deliver versatile wave characteristics suitable for both elite athletes and beginners.
Wake and Ballast System
Central to the X-24's performance is its advanced Gen 2 surf system, which includes a six-ballast fast fill configuration. This system comprises one forward hard ballast tank, two aft hard tanks, two aft bags positioned above those tanks, and an innovative switchback tank that enables lateral ballast distribution for symmetrical wake formation. The ballast is managed by seven Johnson pumps, each capable of pumping 30 gallons per minute, allowing the boat to add approximately 4,300 pounds of ballast in under four minutes. Adjustable surf tabs at the stern control the wake profile, with independent left and right settings and a central attitude adjustment tab to manage bow rise, compensating for internal weight variations. All ballast and surf settings, along with GPS speed, are controlled via a seven-inch touchscreen at the helm, allowing operators to select from factory presets or customize wake parameters for specific riders with ease.
Power and Performance
The X-24 is powered by a single 430-horsepower Ilmor 6.2-liter GDI V8 engine. Its dimensions include a length overall of 26.2 feet, a beam of 8 feet 6 inches, and a draft of 2 feet 6 inches. The hull geometry has been refined to provide a deeper water entry, enhancing wake size. Performance testing revealed an endurance ranging from approximately 6.9 hours at 21.8 miles per hour (3,500 RPM) to 13.2 hours at 10.6 miles per hour (2,500 RPM). The top speed recorded was 38.2 miles per hour at 5,600 RPM, with the most economical cruising speed at 27 miles per hour (4,000 RPM). Acceleration was brisk, with a time to plane of 3.2 seconds, 0 to 20 mph in 4.8 seconds, and 0 to 30 mph in 7.2 seconds. Handling was responsive and smooth, with a three and a half turn lock-to-lock steering ratio and a 16-inch rudder, providing stable and predictable maneuvering even with full ballast.
Exterior Design and Deck Layout
The X-24 features a U-shaped bow finished in a tritone color scheme, complementing its modern aesthetic. The cockpit and deck areas continue the tri-tone vinyl upholstery theme with custom hand-stitching unique to the X-Series. Seating is abundant and versatile, accommodating up to 18 passengers with forward-facing chaise seats at the bow and wraparound corner seats in the cockpit that convert to aft-facing chaise lounges. Storage is ample, including a 62-inch compartment under the port-side seating for longer boards and a 36-quart cooler beneath the starboard bench. The cockpit flooring options include C-deck or color-matched decadence flooring. The swim platform is also C-deck treated and features built-in handholds and a 22-inch retractable swim ladder for easy water access. The premium tower includes an integrated bimini, two hanging speakers, clamping board racks, and a center tow pylon, with an optional camera mount available.
Helm and Controls
The helm is positioned to starboard and features a vinyl-wrapped dash with a tilt-mounted steering wheel. Instrumentation includes recessed analog gauges set in billet aluminum, complemented by a 7-inch touchscreen interface for controlling ballast, surf settings, and other boat functions. Manual switches provide redundancy in case of touchscreen failure. Additional helm amenities include a phone holder, drink holders, engine key, and shifter. The main battery shutoff and breaker panel are conveniently located to the left of the helm. The boat incorporates Mastercraft's BTS windshield design, favored by water sport enthusiasts for improved communication with individuals in the water and ease of docking. The windshield sides are rounded and finished with aluminum billets that double as grab handles, and a securely fitting wind dam is included.
Interior and Storage Features
The interior layout maximizes space through a pickle fork design, providing larger seating areas and storage compartments. Forward compartments include dedicated anchor storage, while the cockpit houses multiple storage areas beneath seating. The top storage locker creatively functions as a personal flotation device warmer by utilizing engine heat. The aft-facing bench converts into a spotter seat or a large lounging area with an optional filler cushion, and a tow pylon can be installed in this area. Additional storage and utility spaces beneath companion seating accommodate batteries, a fire extinguisher, a trash receptacle, and the tow pylon base.
Conclusion
The Mastercraft X-24 is a thoughtfully engineered towboat that blends advanced ballast and wake-shaping technologies with refined power and handling characteristics. Its versatile wake profiles cater to a wide range of water sport enthusiasts, from beginners to professional athletes. The spacious and well-appointed interior, combined with practical storage solutions and premium exterior features, make the X-24 well-suited for extended days on the water. Overall, it delivers a compelling package for those seeking high performance and comfort in a modern towboat.
