American Water Sports has a new 2026 MasterCraft XT23 wake surf boat for sale on Table Rock Lake, Missouri (Stock #MC-XT23.26-CSFJ0): a 23-foot-4-inch V-drive in Flint Gray and Midnight Black, powered by the Ilmor 5.3L GDI V8 with Fastfill ballast, SurfStar wake shaping, a 12-inch XT Dash touch screen, and Meridian SoundStage audio. It is a factory-new boat sold with the full MasterCraft factory warranty, and you can see it at our Kimberling City and Shell Knob stores. Whether you're searching online for "new MasterCraft XT23 for sale", "gray and black MasterCraft wake boat", "MasterCraft surf boat Missouri", or "MasterCraft dealer Table Rock Lake", American Water Sports is your authorized MasterCraft dealer for this specific boat and the full range of MasterCraft models in our inventory.
Why the 2026 MasterCraft XT23?The XT23 is a mid-tier boat in MasterCraft's lineup, above the NXT and below the X-Series and XSTAR. It is 23 feet 4 inches long with a 102-inch beam, rated for 16 people or 2,500 pounds, and carries 3,450 pounds of ballast. At 5,250 pounds it builds a full surf wave while staying easier to tow and store than the bigger MasterCraft models.
SurfStar, Fastfill and the Ilmor 5.3L GDI V8The SurfStar system is standard: wake-shaping devices with side-to-side switching, electric-over-hydraulic actuators with position sensing, an attitude adjustment plate, plumbed ballast bags, and tracking fins. Power is the Ilmor 5.3L GDI HO VD 2.1 V8, and this boat adds the Fastfill ballast system so the tanks load quickly. An engine flush kit, automatic and handheld fire extinguishers, 6-inch popup cleats, a depth finder, and onboard telematics are standard.
XT Dash, Meridian Audio and Silver Z-Series TowerThe XT Dash has a 12-inch touch screen, a MyDrive encoder and volume knob, integrated radio controls with maps, and a rear-facing tower camera. The MasterCraft SoundStage system uses Meridian speakers, two 10-inch subwoofers, and an 8-channel amp with a digital signal processor and zone control. The Silver Satin tower has a bimini cover and black clamping board racks, with two black M80 tower speakers added on a 2-channel amp, and a pop-up ski pylon is standard.
Flint Gray and Midnight Black StylingThe exterior is Flint Gray with Midnight Black hull accents and monogram, Black Satin graphics, and a Flint Gray swim platform. Inside, the upholstery is Coolfeel Beach Tan with Bowmore Flint Gray accents over Deckadence Gray flooring, with black thread. Convertible Center R/S seating, Sunpad Flip seating, a black BTS windshield, a billet walkthrough door, an Activ-View Panoramic Plus mirror, stainless steel fender clips, cockpit wireless charging pads, transom scratch protection, and a 110-volt onboard battery charger are included.
V-Drive Wakesurf SafetyBecause the XT23 is a V-drive surf boat, we recommend a surf rope of 20 to 25 feet so riders stay well clear of the swim platform and propeller. Fill the ballast per the factory setup for your rider, keep a dedicated observer watching at all times, and fly a rider-down flag when someone is in the water. We cover rope length, ballast setup, and swim platform safety with every new surf boat owner at delivery.

MasterCraft XT23: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The Mastercraft XT23 is a versatile multi-sport recreational towboat designed to deliver both luxury and exceptional wake performance. It features the advanced Gen 2 Surf System, which allows users to customize wake profiles for a variety of skill levels and water sports. This system integrates the Balance System, Surf Devices, and a Digital Helmscreen to provide precise control over wave shape and boat attitude, making the XT23 suitable for wakesurfing, wakeboarding, and skiing.
Wake and Ballast System
Central to the XT23's appeal is its Gen 2 Surf System, which offers preset wave profiles ranging from long and mellow to tall and steep. The system includes one forward hard ballast tank, two aft hard tanks, and two aft ballast bags positioned atop the hard tanks. An optional Fast Fill System with three Johnson pumps enables ballast filling in approximately five minutes. The Digital Helmscreen allows operators to select from various profiles such as Surf Left and Right (mellow or steep), Kids, Wakeboard (beginner to advanced), and Ski, automatically adjusting speed, ballast, and surf device positions accordingly. A boat attitude adjustment plate further refines bow control. Wave transitions can be made on the fly, providing flexibility for riders of different skill levels.
Power and Performance
The XT23 measures 25 feet 6 inches in length overall, with a beam of 8 feet 6 inches and a draft of 2 feet 6 inches. The test boat was equipped with a 5.7-liter engine, which Mastercraft is replacing with a new Ilmore 6.0-liter powerplant. Although independent test data was unavailable, manufacturer testing reports a top speed of 42.1 miles per hour at 5200 RPM. Typical endurance ranges from 7.2 hours at 3,000 RPM (21.7 MPH) to 14.1 hours at 2,000 RPM (9.2 MPH), covering the speed range most commonly used in tow sports. Handling was notably agile and responsive, with approximately three and a half turns lock to lock on the helm. The XT23's bow design effectively cuts through light chop and wakes, aided by a 12-inch rudder that enhances maneuverability.
Exterior Design and Deck Layout
Mastercraft has opted for a traditional front end on the XT23, featuring wraparound bolster seating with Coolfeel vinyl upholstery. The bow area includes forward-facing chaise seats on both sides, grab handles, two Klipsch audio speakers, four drink holders, and a dual USB outlet to port. Aft-facing seating is centered on the boat, with cushions that lift or remove to access storage compartments. The cockpit is spacious and ergonomically designed, with color-matched decadence flooring and two-tone upholstery. The helm station is well organized, featuring a stainless steel tilt steering wheel with a rubberized finish, analog gauges beneath a hand-stitched anti-glare vinyl dash, and the Gen 2 Surf System display. A wraparound windshield provides wind protection and clear sightlines, complemented by an 18-inch wide rear-view mirror and an acrylic wind dam.
Interior and Seating
The XT23 comfortably accommodates up to 16 passengers with ample seating throughout the cockpit. The companion seat adjacent to the helm is upholstered in the same hand-stitched vinyl as the rest of the boat. Wraparound seating continues from the companion seat around to the helm chair, featuring integrated grab handles, speakers, and drink holders. The center bench seat can convert to an aft-facing bench with built-in drink holders and a footrest, or be configured as a convertible bench. Storage is plentiful with a continuous compartment running from the cockpit to the bow on the port side, additional storage in the starboard quarter, and battery storage beneath the aft port section.
Tower and Swim Platform
The XT23's tower is equipped with swiveling and board-clamping racks on each side, each capable of holding two boards. Two Klipsch speakers are mounted under the crossbar, and a tow post is positioned on top. The tower includes an integrated bimini top and can be easily lowered for transport or storage. The test boat featured an integrated tow pylon and a sun pad with a center walk-through layout option. Gas-assisted struts facilitate lifting the port and starboard sun pad sections to access the Gen 2 ballast bags below. Additionally, the boat was outfitted with an optional teak swim platform, enhancing both aesthetics and functionality.
Conclusion
The Mastercraft XT23 presents a well-balanced combination of style, comfort, and performance tailored for water sports enthusiasts. Its advanced Gen 2 Surf System provides versatile wake customization suitable for all skill levels, while the boat's agile handling and thoughtful ergonomics enhance the overall experience. With ample seating, storage, and premium features such as the tower and swim platform options, the XT23 is a strong contender for those seeking a luxurious and capable multi-sport towboat.
