MasterCraft X30 Boats For Sale

The MasterCraft X30 is an inboard V-drive tow boat built for surfing, wakeboarding and water skiing, with room for up to 16 people aboard. It was offered in two bow configurations: a pickle-fork layout measuring 23 feet 2 inches that carries the beam wider and farther forward, and a conventional pointed triangular bow at 22 feet 5 inches that gives the boat a more traditional profile. The hull was designed with a flatter bottom and a sport drive feel, producing clean ski wakes, a strong wakeboard wake and one of the better surf waves in the lineup.

Power options run from 310 to 450 horsepower. The base setup pairs an Ilmor 5.7 making 330 horsepower, which got the boat on plane in 3.2 seconds and reached a top speed of 40 mph. A 350-horsepower V8 version ran 0 to 30 mph in 7.1 seconds and hit a top speed of 42.3 mph at 5,500 rpm, turning a 13.7-inch diameter by 14-inch pitch four-blade propeller through a 1.56:1 gear ratio. At a 3,000 rpm cruise it ran 24 mph and returned about 2.5 miles per gallon for a range of roughly 137 miles. The V-drive transmission keeps the engine at the stern while delivering inboard handling, and the boat turns tight with no prop torque.

Surfing is central to the X30. With the Gen 2 ballast and surf system, riders surf at roughly 10.5 to 11 mph with the wake plate at zero, producing a steep, well-shaped wave. The Gen 2 system lets riders switch the wave from side to side mid-ride, and each side was tuned to match in strength and shape so transfers are easy. The helm carries selectable profiles including surf left, surf right, max wake, ski and a go-home setting, with cruise control that can be set to either speed or rpm and adjusted at the touch of a button. Ballast and trim controls sit to the side, and additional surf tabs let the boat roll over to customize the wave.

The cockpit and deck are equipped for full days on the water. The X30 carries a swim platform offered in standard teak or optional fiberglass, a removable ski pylon with its own storage bracket and deck socket cap, and a full walk-through transom entry with storage on each side of the engine. Onboard details include a soap gun for binding lube, a quick-disconnect hose and extendable heater ducts. Rear-facing flip seats let passengers watch the action behind the boat, and there are dedicated spots for a cooler and a waste basket, plus a bow cooler and anchor storage behind the seat back up front. The 3,900-pound boat is 8 feet 6 inches wide.

The optional ZFT4 tower drops down easily with clamps and holds JL speakers, docking lights and a Bimini top, with swiveling board racks that clamp the boards and detent every 90 degrees. MasterCraft uses anodized billet hardware and custom billet knobs throughout the dash to hold up over the life of the boat and protect resale value. With all three ballast tanks full the X30 throws big wakes, and engine-bay panels remove for service. For ski, wakeboard or surf use with seating for the whole family, the MasterCraft X30 boat covers the towed-watersports range while staying small enough for clean slalom skiing.
