American Water Sports is proud to present this brand-new 2027 MasterCraft X24 - the 24-foot premium X-Series V-drive wakesurf boat, delivering the current-generation Ilmor MV8 V8 inboard power, current-generation Gen 2 wakesurf-shaping and ballast systems, premium Coolfeel interior appointments, and full factory warranty coverage that defines factory-new MasterCraft ownership at the premium X-Series tier. Available at our Kimberling City location on Table Rock Lake (Stock #MC-X24.27-PJAR6), this X24 is the second NEW MasterCraft in our current inventory - joining the entry-tier 2027 NXT24 (Stock #MC-NXT24.27-CBAW2) - and specifically the first NEW X-Series build in our current lineup, delivering a meaningful step up from NXT-tier entry positioning into the premium X-Series that defines the top tier of MasterCraft's mainline wakesurf production. Where the NXT24 targets buyers who want accessible entry into factory-new MasterCraft V-drive ownership, the X24 targets buyers who want the meaningful step up in premium X-Series feature content - higher-tier ballast capacity, more sophisticated wakesurf-shaping systems, premium Coolfeel interior appointments, and the aggressive-sport X-Series styling character that distinguishes X-Series ownership from the NXT entry tier. The MasterCraft brand pedigree needs little introduction - MasterCraft Boat Company has been building premium American inboard tow boats in Vonore, Tennessee since 1968, and the X-Series specifically has anchored MasterCraft's premium wakesurf positioning for years. For the buyer who wants factory-new premium X-Series MasterCraft ownership at the 24-foot platform - with full factory warranty coverage on both the MasterCraft hull and the Ilmor MV8 powertrain - this new X24 at our Kimberling City location is one of the most compelling new-wakesurf-boat opportunities in our current inventory this season.
X24 vs NXT24 - Two NEW MasterCraft Options Across Two Tiers
For buyers cross-shopping factory-new MasterCraft alternatives, our current new-boat inventory offers a specific two-tier choice: this X24 (premium X-Series tier) or the sister 2027 NXT24 (entry NXT tier, Stock #MC-NXT24.27-CBAW2). Both are factory-new 2027 model year builds. Both are 24-foot V-drive wakesurf platforms. Both come with full factory warranty coverage. Both share the same core MasterCraft-Ilmor powertrain platform. But the X24 delivers meaningfully more premium X-Series content vs the accessible NXT24 entry-tier - higher-tier ballast capacity, more sophisticated wake-shaping systems, premium Coolfeel interior appointments, more aggressive X-Series exterior styling, and the specific tier positioning that defines premium MasterCraft wakesurf ownership vs accessible-entry NXT ownership. For the buyer who wants the meaningful step up into premium X-Series content and is willing to pay the tier premium, this X24 is the answer. For the buyer who wants the most-accessible factory-new MasterCraft V-drive ownership at NXT-tier pricing, the sister NXT24 is worth cross-shopping. Our team can walk through the specific X-vs-NXT tier tradeoffs in person at our Kimberling City location.
X24 vs X26 - The Smaller X-Series Platform
For buyers cross-shopping the X-Series platform lineup, our current MasterCraft inventory offers a specific X24-vs-X26 choice: this new 2027 X24 (24-foot platform) or our extensive used X26 lineup (26-foot platform, five builds across four vintages in current inventory: two 2016 units with one including trailer, plus 2018, 2019, and 2022). The X24 delivers essentially the same premium X-Series content in a meaningfully-more-manageable 24-foot footprint - easier to tow with mid-size trucks and SUVs, easier to store in a covered boat house or standard garage, easier to launch and retrieve at standard ramps, and specifically appealing to buyers who want premium X-Series capability without the larger 26-foot X26 platform's towing and storage requirements. The X26 delivers meaningfully more interior volume, more passenger capacity, and larger-platform wakesurf-wave-shaping capability that appeals to buyers who want the flagship-adjacent X-Series experience. For the buyer who wants factory-new current-generation X-Series ownership with warranty at the smaller manageable 24-foot platform, this X24 is exactly the answer. For the buyer who wants the larger X26 platform at meaningful pre-owned savings vs new, our five-X26 vintage lineup delivers that alternative.
Ilmor MV8 V8 Inboard Powertrain - Current-Generation X-Series Powerplant
This new 2027 MasterCraft X24 is powered by an Ilmor MV8 V8 inboard powertrain - MasterCraft's continuous-partner V8 inboard that anchors the X-Series and XSTAR lineups. Typical 2027 X24 configurations use the Ilmor MV8 6.2L naturally-aspirated V8 producing approximately 522 horsepower, or the current MV8 6.2L GDI (Gasoline Direct Injection) variant that delivers improved fuel efficiency, cleaner emissions, sharper throttle response, and current-vintage powertrain refinement - depending on the buyer's spec preference at order time. Either MV8 variant delivers exactly the kind of low-end torque, hole-shot acceleration, and sustained wakesurf-speed cruise capability that premium X-Series wakesurf duty specifically requires - enough capability to move the X24 quickly with a full ballast load and deliver the shaped surf wave character that skilled wakesurfers rely on. The Ilmor MV8 platform brings the segment-standard reliability, quiet premium-inboard character, and integrated electronic-throttle helm response that has made Ilmor MasterCraft's continuous inboard-powertrain partner for years. American Water Sports is fully equipped to support Ilmor MV8 service through our shop, and the combination of factory-new delivery and Ilmor's engineered service life means this X24's powertrain has essentially its entire service life ahead of it. For the specific MV8 variant on this build (naturally-aspirated 6.2L or 6.2L GDI), please contact our Kimberling City team for the complete factory build sheet.
MasterCraft Tier Hierarchy - NXT / XT / X-Series / XSTAR
For buyers who understand the MasterCraft V-drive wakesurf lineup, the brand's tier hierarchy is worth understanding: NXT (entry tier - accessible V-drive wakesurf ownership), XT (mid tier - meaningful step up in feature content), X-Series (premium tier - X22, X24, X26 flagship-adjacent wakesurf builds), and XSTAR (flagship tier - absolute top of the MasterCraft lineup). Our current inventory represents essentially every tier: new 2027 NXT24 (entry tier, new), 2022 XT25 (mid tier, used), five X26 builds across four vintages (premium tier, used), this new 2027 X24 (premium tier, new - this listing), 2022 X26 (premium tier, nearly-new used), and the 2022 and 2024 XSTAR S builds (flagship tier, nearly-new used). This X24 delivers the specific factory-new-X-Series-tier ownership that no other current MasterCraft in our inventory provides - the combination of premium X-Series tier positioning and factory-new full-warranty delivery. Our team can walk through the specific tier-vs-tier tradeoffs - accessible-entry NXT vs premium X-Series vs flagship XSTAR, new vs used - in person at our Kimberling City location.
24-Foot X24 Layout - Premium X-Series Wakesurf Configuration
The X24's 24-foot platform delivers a premium X-Series wakesurf-boat footprint that's meaningfully more manageable than the flagship 26-foot X26 platform, but still fully credible for premium wakesurf duty. The current-generation X24 layout is purpose-built for premium X-Series wakesurf duty - with the current-generation Gen 2 wakesurf-shaping systems, high-capacity integrated ballast (typical X-Series ballast tank configuration delivers meaningfully more wake-shaping mass than NXT-tier alternatives), purpose-built cockpit-and-swim-platform layout, quality flooring, premium Coolfeel interior appointments throughout (Coolfeel is MasterCraft's proprietary premium marine-vinyl brand that specifically addresses heat buildup in direct sun), integrated cup holders and storage, factory tower package with speaker options, modern touchscreen helm electronics with integrated wakesurf-mode controls, and the kind of premium X-Series fit-and-finish that defines the top of the mainline MasterCraft wakesurf tier. For specific factory option content, upholstery color selection, exterior gel coat color, and electronic package spec on this specific 2027 X24 build, please contact our Kimberling City team for the build sheet specifics.
V-Drive Wakesurf Safety - Important Setup Considerations
As a purpose-built V-drive wakeboat, the MasterCraft X24 is architected for the specific type of premium wakesurfing that only proper V-drive inboards can deliver - with the propeller and drive shaft positioned well forward under the hull, deep and protected from surface waves, and specifically configured for producing the kind of shaped surf wake that skilled wakesurfers rely on. That said, V-drive wakesurf ownership does require proper setup and operational awareness: the correct minimum wakesurf distance from the transom (industry-standard 20-25 feet minimum surf-rope length), proper ballast distribution for the intended surf side (goofy or regular), appropriate wakesurf-specific propeller selection for surf-wave shaping, and disciplined swim-safety practices around the boat during surf sessions. American Water Sports strongly encourages all V-drive wakeboat owners to review MasterCraft's wakesurf-safety guidelines, follow the industry-standard minimum-distance protocols, and consider whether wakesurf sessions are appropriate for the specific waterbody and passenger group. For buyers cross-shopping V-drive vs forward-drive wakesurf architectures, our current inventory also includes forward-drive alternatives (2025 Cobalt R8 Surf, 2018 Chaparral 257 SSX Surf, new 2027 Regal LS6 Surf) - our team can walk through the honest tradeoffs between the two drive architectures in person.
Factory-New 2027 Model Year - Full Factory Warranty from Day One
As a factory-new 2027 model year build, this MasterCraft X24 is the absolute-newest-vintage current-generation X-Series architecture available - factory-fresh from MasterCraft's Vonore, Tennessee production line, delivered with full factory warranty coverage from MasterCraft on the hull and structural components, and full factory warranty coverage from Ilmor on the MV8 V8 inboard powertrain. Full factory warranty coverage is one of the specific ownership distinctions that separates factory-new from pre-owned MasterCraft ownership (including our extensive used X-Series lineup) - no lingering questions about prior-owner maintenance history, no uncertainty about existing ballast-system or inboard-powertrain conditions, no gray areas about what's covered and what's not. For the buyer who wants the peace of mind that only factory-new delivery can provide, and the confidence of factory warranty coverage on both the MasterCraft hull and the Ilmor powertrain, this 2027 X24 delivers that ownership foundation from day one. Combined with American Water Sports' in-house MasterCraft/Ilmor service capability, this X24 represents the top of the current-generation premium X-Series wakesurf ownership experience at the smaller 24-foot platform size.

MasterCraft X24: BoatTEST Review
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.
