The 2015 MasterCraft X23 is a 23-foot wake and surf platform engineered around MasterCraft’s pickle-fork bow design, maximizing interior space while maintaining precise handling and wake control. Built on the X-Series hull, the X23 was designed to support large ballast capacity and clean displacement, forming the foundation for its factory Gen 2 Surf System, which debuted on this model year and allows riders to switch surf sides without transferring weight. Integrated hard ballast tanks work in coordination with the hull to deliver consistent wake shape for both wakeboarding and surfing. Power is delivered by a MasterCraft inboard drivetrain paired with Zero Off GPS speed control, providing repeatable pulls and steady speed under load. The ZFT tower is engineered for strength and reduced flex while supporting factory board storage and tow height geometry. Inside, the X23 features deep wraparound seating, high-grade marine upholstery, and a driver-focused helm designed for intuitive system control. Every element reflects MasterCraft’s emphasis on structural integrity, system integration, and purpose-built towboat performance.
