MasterCraft XT Boats For Sale

The MasterCraft XT family covers four wake and ski boats from 20 to 24 feet, the XT20, XT21, XT22 and XT23, built around world-class surf and wakeboard performance with deep customization. It's positioned as the most versatile line in the MasterCraft fleet, suited equally to a family that trailers to the lake, a couple that lives on the water and entertains every weekend, or a competitive rider, with world-renowned surfers relying on the XT23 as the brand's best surf boat. Anyone shopping MasterCraft wake boats for sale or MasterCraft ski boats for sale will find the XT range covers both surfing and slalom duty in one hull. The XT21 measures 21 feet 4 inches with a 98-inch beam, weighs 4,800 pounds, holds 51 gallons of fuel, seats up to 14 and carries 2,460 pounds of ballast with Surf Star.

Power across the current XT models is a 5.3L GDI high-output engine producing 380 horsepower and 407 pound-feet of torque, certified as the most powerful 5.3L in its class, with a four-star emissions rating and roughly 15% less fuel consumption than the previous-generation 6L engine. All engines come from Ilmor Marine, known for hand-building race car engines, and are backed by a 7-year or 1,000-hour warranty. Earlier XT21 builds offered a 6L MPI making 380 horsepower as standard, with direct-injected, closed-cooled 5.3L (365 horsepower) and 6.2L (430 horsepower) options. A fresh air intake adds power and efficiency in triple-digit heat, and underwater exhaust is standard to cut engine noise and fumes.

The surf system is Surf Star, which generates thousands of wave shapes from mellow and kid-friendly to steep and barreling, with rapid surf presets for one-touch setup and a custom surf interface controlling speed, ballast and surf device position. Built-in foiling profiles for left and right side riders were added for 2024, and optional fast-fill ballast with high-flow pumps fills or drains in minutes. At the helm, current models carry a standard 12-inch touchscreen (the XT22 historically offered a 7-inch single or dual-screen setup), MasterCraft MyDrive rotary controls and hot keys, a rudder position sensor, and a wireless phone charger below the dash. An available stern thruster, integrated into the throttle knob, spins the boat 360 degrees in under 30 seconds.

The transom features integrated seating with a standard sliding base, an optional flip-up backrest, a standard walkthrough, an optional flip-down swim step, and storage trays under both rear hatches for vests and ropes. The cockpit seats up to 16 on the XT22 and XT23 in a U-shaped layout with an optional convertible flip seat that faces forward to socialize or rearward to watch riders. Under-seat storage, built-in cooler locations and hinged seats run throughout, and Cool Feel vinyl stays up to 30% cooler than standard marine vinyl. Audio is Klipsch, with an advanced package of six speakers and a subwoofer and a premium upgrade adding dash speakers and a second subwoofer, plus up to four tower speakers.

Bow choices include both a traditional bow and the brand's pickle fork bow, each with an open walkway, optional filler cushion for playpen seating, extensive under-seat storage and dedicated anchor storage on centerline, made possible by subfloor ballast placement. Tower options are the Z6, Z8 and Z10 with standard clamping board racks, optional power racks, room for 10 boards with Bimini storage, and color-matched inlays on the Z8 and Z10. Each XT is handcrafted with onboard telematics through the MasterCraft Connect app, keyless ignition, a five-year/500-hour MasterCare warranty and an optional color-matched custom trailer with electronic brakes and tire pressure monitoring. Buyers comparing used MasterCraft boats for sale, including the XT21, XT22 and XT23, should check engine hours against the 1,000-hour Ilmor coverage and confirm ballast, tower and audio options, since the line is built to be configured.
