This factory-new 2027 XT22 delivers the MasterCraft-Ilmor V8 inboard powertrain, purpose-built V-drive wakesurf hull architecture, integrated ballast systems, mid-tier XT-Series feature content, and full factory warranty coverage in the smallest, most-manageable XT platform size.

Why a New 2027 MasterCraft XT22?
The MasterCraft XT22 is the smallest and most-accessible platform in MasterCraft's current mid-tier XT-Series lineup - positioned above the entry-level NXT-Series in feature content and fit-and-finish, but sized down from the XT23 and XT25 platforms to deliver genuine XT-tier capability at the most-manageable footprint MasterCraft currently offers in this tier. For buyers who want the meaningful step-up in feature depth, factory option content, and fit-and-finish that separates XT-Series ownership from entry-tier NXT ownership - but specifically want the smallest, easiest-to-tow, easiest-to-store, easiest-to-launch platform available - the XT22 is exactly the purpose-built answer. It's a genuinely rare combination: mid-tier MasterCraft capability at the most-accessible platform size in the current factory-new lineup. Cross-shops directly against Malibu Wakesetter 22 LSV, Nautique GS20, Supreme S211, and Centurion Ri217 in the compact mid-tier V-drive wakesurf segment.
Five-Way NEW MasterCraft Cross-Shop at Kimberling City
American Water Sports currently carries five distinct factory-new MasterCraft builds spanning three tiers and multiple platform sizes - one of the deepest new-MasterCraft cross-shop opportunities available at any single dealer location. The full current NEW MasterCraft lineup: this XT22 (mid-tier, smallest 22-foot), the XT23 (mid-tier, 23-foot, Stock #MC-XT23.27-CSBM2), the NXT23 (entry-tier, 23-foot, Stock #MC-NXT23.27-C9AY5), the NXT24 (entry-tier, 24-foot, Stock #MC-NXT24.27-CBAW2), and the X24 (premium X-Series tier, 24-foot, Stock #MC-X24.27-PJAR6). That five-boat lineup lets buyers cross-shop across every meaningful dimension: same-tier platform sizing (XT22 vs XT23 at 22 vs 23 feet), cross-tier comparison at similar platform sizes (XT22 vs NXT23, both smaller platforms at different tiers), and full tier progression from NXT through XT to X-Series. For the buyer specifically comparing the smallest available platform at each tier - this XT22 (mid-tier) against the NXT23 (entry-tier) - the direct comparison highlights exactly what the XT-Series step-up buys you in feature content and fit-and-finish at a similar accessible platform size. Our team at Kimberling City can walk you through the full five-boat MasterCraft lineup in person.
XT22 vs XT23 - Same-Tier Platform-Size Cross-Shop
For buyers specifically focused on XT-Series ownership, American Water Sports offers a direct same-tier cross-shop: this smaller XT22 (22-foot) alongside our XT23 (23-foot, Stock #MC-XT23.27-CSBM2). Both are factory-new 2027 model year builds sharing the same XT-tier feature content, MasterCraft-Ilmor powertrain platform, and full factory warranty coverage - with the specific choice coming down to platform size. The XT22 delivers the smallest and most-manageable footprint in the current XT lineup - easier towing with mid-size trucks and SUVs, easier storage, easier launching at standard ramps - while the XT23 offers a foot of additional length for buyers who want slightly more interior volume and passenger capacity at the same XT-tier feature level. Our team at Kimberling City can walk through the specific 22-vs-23-foot XT tradeoffs in person.
Ilmor V8 Inboard Powertrain - MasterCraft's Continuous Powerplant Partner
This new 2027 MasterCraft XT22 is powered by an Ilmor V8 inboard powertrain - MasterCraft's continuous-partner V8 inboard that delivers the segment-standard reliability, quiet premium-inboard character, and integrated electronic-throttle helm response that has defined MasterCraft's V-drive experience across essentially every tier of the lineup. Typical 2027 XT22 configurations use the Ilmor MV8 6.0L or 6.2L V8 inboard, delivering the low-end torque, hole-shot acceleration, and sustained wakesurf-speed cruise capability that V-drive wakesurf duty specifically requires - on the smallest and most-manageable platform in the current XT lineup, this powertrain delivers genuinely strong performance-per-foot. 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 XT22's powertrain has essentially its entire service life ahead of it. For the specific Ilmor MV8 variant on this build, please contact our Kimberling City team for the complete factory build sheet.
22-Foot XT22 Layout - Mid-Tier MasterCraft at the Smallest Platform Size
The XT22's 22-foot platform delivers the smallest and most-accessible footprint currently available in MasterCraft's mid-tier XT-Series - sized to be genuinely easy to tow, store, and launch while still offering meaningfully more feature content and factory option depth than the entry-tier NXT-Series. The current-generation XT22 layout is purpose-built for the dual wakesurf-and-family-day mission - with integrated ballast systems, factory wakesurf-shaping capability, purpose-built cockpit-and-swim-platform layout, upgraded flooring and upholstery treatments versus entry-tier NXT configurations, integrated cup holders and storage, factory tower package with speaker options, modern touchscreen helm electronics, and the kind of MasterCraft fit-and-finish that defines the mid-tier step-up in the current lineup - all at the most-manageable platform size MasterCraft currently offers at this tier. For specific factory option content, upholstery color selection, exterior gel coat color, and electronic package spec on this specific 2027 XT22 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 XT22 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, Pre-Owned 2026 Cobalt R4 Surf, new Regal LS4 Surf and 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 XT22 is the absolute-newest-vintage current-generation XT 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 V8 inboard powertrain. Full factory warranty coverage is one of the specific ownership distinctions that separates factory-new from pre-owned MasterCraft ownership - 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. Combined with American Water Sports' in-house MasterCraft/Ilmor service capability, this XT22 represents mid-tier factory-new MasterCraft V-drive wakesurf ownership at the most-accessible platform size in the current lineup.

MasterCraft XT22: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The Mastercraft NXT 22 is a recently redesigned and upgraded towboat that caters to both active families and water sports enthusiasts. Positioned as one of Mastercraft's highest volume models, it offers a compelling balance of value and performance with a base 373 horsepower V8 Ilmor 6.0 liter engine. The 2023 model year introduces the all-new Gen 2 surf system, which automates ballast, trim tabs, and GPS speed settings to create customizable wake profiles at the touch of a button.
Gen 2 Surf System and Wake Customization
A major highlight of the NXT 22 is the Gen 2 surf system, designed to simplify wake shaping for various skill levels. This system eliminates manual adjustments by providing factory preset profiles accessible via the helm touchscreen. Operators can select from surf left or right, wake (with full ballast for intermediate to advanced riders), wake beginner (zero ballast with a target speed of 17.5 mph), and a ski profile (no ballast and higher speed). The system controls five ballast tanks—one front, two aft, and two Gen 2 bags atop the aft tanks—allowing on-the-fly wave adjustments. Manual overrides for ballast and trim are also available alongside the automated settings, while an attitude adjustment plate provides additional bow control.
Exterior Design and Deck Layout
The NXT 22 measures 23 feet 10 inches in length overall, with a beam of 8 feet 3 inches and a draft of 2 feet 4 inches. Its distinctive pickle-fork bow features a sporty, flared design that enhances both aesthetics and functionality by improving wake transition and reducing hull shock. The bow interior is spacious and comfortable, measuring 3 feet 5 inches long by 4 feet 10 inches wide, with wrap-around bolsters and hinged side seats that provide access to storage compartments. Additional storage includes an anchor locker beneath the center bow cushion and port-side compartments. The boat is equipped with five pull-up cleats strategically placed for convenience. An optional teak swim platform adds an upscale touch and integrates seamlessly with the boat’s painted topsides.
Helm and Cockpit Features
The helm is ergonomically designed with a tilt base and a rubberized steering wheel that ensures a secure grip even when wet. Engine gauges are mounted directly ahead on black anodized panels, with blower and bilge switches to port and light controls to starboard. The Gen 2 surf system touchscreen and ballast controls are conveniently located below the wheel. The throttle is positioned for easy, precise speed adjustments and is complemented by a fully adjustable helm chair with a flip-up bolster. A rear-facing spotter seat is located to port, adjacent to a dry storage compartment equipped with a courtesy light, 12-volt outlet, and slip-resistant matting. The cockpit features a classic towboat layout with wrap-around bench seating, an aft-facing companion seat, and ample storage beneath hinged seats. The battery bank, breakers, and main shut-off switch are housed beneath the port bench, while SeaDek-treated steps facilitate safe entry and exit at the stern. The collapsible tower with integrated bimini includes swiveling board racks and a fixed tow rope post, with Klipsch audio speakers mounted on the crossbar.
Power and Performance
Powered by the upgraded Ilmor 6.0 liter V8 engine producing 373 horsepower, the NXT 22 delivers strong performance and efficient fuel consumption. During testing, the boat reached a top speed of 40 miles per hour at 5,200 RPM. Economical cruising was achieved at 3,500 RPM, corresponding to 25 miles per hour. Endurance tests showed 4.8 hours at 3,000 RPM (18.5 mph) and 6.8 hours at 2,500 RPM (11.5 mph), indicating solid range for extended outings. Handling characteristics were agile and responsive, with smooth transitions through gradual and tight turns, no noticeable slippage, and excellent helm feedback. The 3.5 turns lock-to-lock steering and 12-inch rudder contribute to precise control. The pickle-fork bow design aids in cutting through wakes with minimal hull shock, maintaining a calm ride for passengers.
Conclusion
The Mastercraft NXT 22 presents a spacious, well-equipped, and versatile towboat that successfully blends entry-level pricing with upscale features. Its advanced Gen 2 surf system simplifies wake customization for riders of all skill levels, while the refined hull design and powerful engine deliver confident handling and performance. The ergonomic helm layout, ample storage, and comfortable seating make it suitable for families and water sports enthusiasts alike. With a range of available options, buyers can tailor the NXT 22 to their specific preferences, maintaining Mastercraft’s reputation for quality and innovation.
