MasterCraft X26 Boats For Sale

The MasterCraft X26 is the largest boat in the MasterCraft fleet and the flagship of the X-series, the only model in the lineup that carries yacht certification. It measures 26 feet 5 inches in length with a beam of 102 inches (8 feet 6 inches), drafts 30 inches, and weighs about 6,900 pounds dry. Fuel capacity is 108 gallons, and the boat is rated to seat up to 18 people. Shoppers comparing MasterCraft boats X26 listings are looking at a vessel that pairs a luxury day-boat layout with full tow-sports performance, which is why many buyers cross-shop it against bow riders rather than only other wake boats.

Power comes from Ilmor Marine, the exclusive engine supplier for MasterCraft. The standard engine is the 6.2L GDI V8 producing 430 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque. Buyers wanting more can step up to a supercharged 6.2L rated at 630 horsepower and 665 lb-ft, while earlier model years offered a 7.4L naturally aspirated V8 at 522 horsepower. With the 430 hp 6.2L turning a 17.5-by-16.5-inch prop, the X26 recorded a top speed of 37.3 mph at 5,600 rpm and a most economical cruise of 25.7 mph at 4,000 rpm burning 1.8 mpg. Endurance ran from 8.2 hours at 18.7 mph down through 16.8 hours at 10.6 mph. A 522 hp boat planed in 3.2 seconds, hit 30 mph in 6.2 seconds, and topped out at 39.2 mph. The hull carries a 16-inch rudder and steeper forward deadrise for a dry ride.

Surf and wake performance is built on the Gen 2 system, with the X26 adding over 4,000 pounds of ballast (4,150 pounds standard with Gen 2). Six Johnson pumps moving 30 gallons per minute each fill or drain in about four minutes, and a center switchback tank keeps ballast distributed for a symmetrical wake. Surf Star drives the experience through rapid presets and a custom interface controlling speed, ballast, and surf device position, with foiling profiles added for 2024. Surf speeds drop as low as 9 mph, while wakeboarders typically run 8 to 22 mph. An optional stern thruster pivots the boat 360 degrees in under 30 seconds and is controlled through the throttle knob.

The helm was redesigned for 2025 with a standard dual-screen setup: a 15-inch center display and a 12-inch touchscreen to the right, plus a MyDrive rotary encoder for on-the-fly adjustments. Earlier boats offered a single 7-inch touch with analog gauges or an optional dual-screen portrait layout. Standard telematics feed the MasterCraft Connect app for remote monitoring of battery, fuel, and engine health, and 2025 added remote battery switching and geofencing alerts. Audio runs on Klipsch, from a six-speaker advanced package with subwoofer up to a premium-plus setup with four Klipsch S85 tower speakers. Four under-gunnel phone holders are available with wireless charging.

The cockpit uses U-shaped seating with extensive under-seat storage, a built-in cooler location, an optional refrigerator drawer, and a convertible flip seat plus a forward observer seat that rotates rear-facing. The patented transom lounge seats, with an optional footrest, sit above a flip-down swim step and a standard transom walkthrough with built-in storage. The pickle fork bow with a port-side walkthrough creates a C-shaped layout that converts to a sun pad with a filler cushion, and anchor storage sits on centerline. A unique option places a head on centerline with a VacuFlush toilet, sink, counter, and four and a half feet of headroom; skip it and that space becomes lockable board storage.

Build details include CoolFeel vinyl that stays up to 30% cooler than standard marine material, three tower choices (Z6, Z8, Z10) with up to 10 board-storage spots, and optional surf-edition touches like teak swim platform and decadence flooring. Engines carry a 7-year/1,000-hour warranty, and every boat includes MasterCare, a 5-year/500-hour comprehensive warranty. A color-matched custom trailer with options such as electronic brakes and tire-pressure monitoring is available. When weighing a MasterCraft X26 boat for sale, the main decisions are engine choice, single versus dual screen on older hulls, and whether to take the centerline head or the storage it replaces.
