American Water Sports is pleased to offer this brokered 2016 MasterCraft X26 — a well-broken-in 26-foot V-drive wakesurf boat from MasterCraft's premium X-Series inboard lineup, delivering Ilmor MV8 6.2L V8 inboard power, purpose-built V-drive wakesurf hull architecture, classic Blue and White exterior gel coat, and — a meaningful practical advantage — a matched trailer included in the sale (the -T suffix on the stock number specifically indicates trailer availability). Offered on brokerage through American Water Sports' Kimberling City location on Table Rock Lake (Stock #B-KC-PKEXO-T, Hull #MBCPKEXOJ516), this 2016 X26 is the second 2016 X26 build currently in our inventory — sitting alongside the sister brokered 2016 X26 at our Shell Knob location (Stock #B-SK-WKKH5). That gives buyers a direct two-location, two-2016-X26 cross-shop opportunity: this Kimberling City build with trailer included, or the Shell Knob alternative — both at the same 2016 vintage but at distinct locations and with different specific build-spec and accessory content. As a brokerage listing, this X26 is owned by a third-party seller who has consigned the sale process through American Water Sports; the current owner sets the asking price, negotiates terms, and remains the legal owner until sale close. The MasterCraft brand pedigree needs little introduction — MasterCraft Boat Company has been building premium American inboard tow boats in Vonore, Tennessee since 1968, and the X26 has anchored the top of the X-Series wakesurf lineup as MasterCraft's premium 26-foot V-drive flagship platform. For the wakesurf buyer who wants vintage-era premium MasterCraft V-drive ownership with the specific practical advantage of trailer-included ownership at brokerage-value pricing, this 2016 X26 at our Kimberling City location is worth serious consideration.
One of the specific facts on this brokered X26 worth being upfront about is the engine hour count — 1,295 hours on the Ilmor MV8 6.2L V8 after 10 years of ownership, which works out to approximately 130 hours per year of use. That's meaningfully-higher-than-typical usage for a premium wakesurf boat in the vintage market — most 10-year-old X-Series builds in our brokerage inventory carry 400-800 hours by this point, and 1,295 hours represents a boat that has been genuinely-used and genuinely-loved by its original owner. The honest read on 1,295 hours is a specific mix of positives and practical considerations that buyers should understand upfront. On the positive side: the Ilmor MV8 6.2L V8 platform is engineered for a service life measured in 2,000-3,000+ hours when properly maintained, so 1,295 hours represents a well-broken-in powertrain that has demonstrated its reliability over a decade of active use, with meaningful service life still ahead if maintenance has been kept current. On the practical side: a 1,295-hour boat should have documented service records showing consistent scheduled maintenance (oil-and-filter changes, impeller replacements, coolant flushes, transmission service), and buyers should specifically request the maintenance history at walkthrough to confirm the boat has been properly cared for. For the buyer who understands that a higher-hour well-maintained X26 can represent meaningful brokerage value vs a lower-hour build at a higher price point, this 2016 X26 delivers substantial vintage-X26 ownership at what is typically brokerage pricing reflective of the hour count. Please contact our Kimberling City team for the specific maintenance-record documentation on this build.
The specific -T suffix on this listing's stock number (B-KC-PKEXO-T) indicates that the matched trailer is included in the sale — a genuinely meaningful practical advantage for wakesurf-boat ownership that we want to call out explicitly. For the buyer taking delivery of a pre-owned 26-foot V-drive wakesurf boat, trailer ownership specifically means the difference between locked-in-at-one-lake seasonal storage and true multi-lake flexibility — with the trailer, you can move this X26 between Table Rock Lake, Bull Shoals, Lake of the Ozarks, Beaver Lake, Grand Lake, and other regional water bodies through the season, and you can pull the boat home for off-season storage or winter service work without arranging third-party transport. For premium wakesurf boats specifically, trailer ownership is worth genuine dollars beyond the sticker itself — matched wakesurf-boat trailers typically retail in the $8,000-$15,000+ range depending on brand and configuration. The trailer-included advantage also differentiates this Kimberling City build from the sister 2016 X26 at our Shell Knob location. For specific trailer make, model, condition, and configuration on this build (typical 2016 MasterCraft trailer supplier: Boatmate or comparable), please contact our Kimberling City team for the trailer specifics.
American Water Sports currently carries two 2016 MasterCraft X26 brokered builds across our two locations, giving 2016-X26 buyers a genuinely useful cross-shop opportunity to compare two same-year builds with different specific configurations. This build (Stock #B-KC-PKEXO-T) is at our Kimberling City location with the matched trailer included, Blue/White exterior, and the 1,295-hour service history documented above. Our sister 2016 X26 (Stock #B-SK-WKKH5) is at our Shell Knob location with its own specific configuration, color scheme, engine-hour reading, and factory-option content. Buyers who want the 2016 X26 platform specifically should visit both locations (or ask our team to arrange a cross-location comparison) to see the two distinct 2016 X26 builds and match the specific configuration to their preferences. For the broader X26 buyer, our current-inventory X26 lineup gives you four total vintages to cross-shop: this 2016 build at Kimberling City with trailer, the sister 2016 build at Shell Knob, the 2018 build at our Arkansas location (Stock #U-AR-WKJV9), the 2019 build at Kimberling City (Stock #U-KC-WKAR6), and the newest 2022 build at Shell Knob (Stock #U-SK-PPJL6). That's five X26 builds across four vintages — the deepest X26 inventory selection on Table Rock Lake this season.
This 2016 MasterCraft X26 is powered by the Ilmor MV8 6.2L V8 inboard — a 6.2-liter naturally-aspirated V8 four-stroke inboard that has anchored MasterCraft's X-Series powertrain across essentially the entire modern X26 production lifecycle. Producing approximately 522 horsepower in typical X26 configuration, the MV8 6.2L delivers the low-end torque, hole-shot acceleration, and sustained wakesurf-speed cruise capability that V-drive wakesurf duty specifically requires. Note that the 6.2L designation on this 2016 build indicates the higher-horsepower MV8 6.2L variant (a step up from the earlier 6.0L 400hp variant that powered some mid-2010s X-Series builds), positioning this specific 2016 X26 with the stronger of the two typical 2016-vintage MV8 configurations. American Water Sports is fully equipped to support Ilmor MV8 service through our shop. For the current maintenance records, recent service history, and any pending or completed major service work on this 1,295-hour MV8 6.2L, please contact our Kimberling City team for the walkthrough specifics.
The exterior color combination on this specific 2016 X26 is Blue/White — one of MasterCraft's most-established X-Series color combinations, pairing the classic Blue main-color gel coat with White accent surfaces for the traditional MasterCraft look that has defined premium wakeboat exterior styling for decades. Blue/White is a specifically-recognizable X-Series color combination — instantly identifiable as MasterCraft, distinctive from the more-modern metallic-mica-flake finishes that dominate current-vintage X-Series production, and the classic finish that vintage-X26 buyers specifically appreciate. For specific gel coat condition, factory-graphic condition, interior upholstery color and condition, and any cosmetic wear specifics on this build, please contact our Kimberling City team for the walkthrough details.
As a purpose-built V-drive wakeboat, the MasterCraft X26 is architected for the specific type of premium wakesurfing that only proper V-drive inboards can deliver — with the propeller and drive shaft positioned well forward under the hull, deep and protected from surface waves, and specifically configured for producing the kind of shaped surf wake that skilled wakesurfers rely on. That said, V-drive wakesurf ownership does require proper setup and operational awareness: the correct minimum wakesurf distance from the transom (industry-standard 20-25 feet minimum surf-rope length), proper ballast distribution for the intended surf side (goofy or regular), appropriate wakesurf-specific propeller selection for surf-wave shaping, and disciplined swim-safety practices around the boat during surf sessions. American Water Sports strongly encourages all V-drive wakeboat owners to review MasterCraft's wakesurf-safety guidelines, follow the industry-standard minimum-distance protocols, and consider whether wakesurf sessions are appropriate for the specific waterbody and passenger group. For buyers cross-shopping V-drive vs forward-drive wakesurf architectures, our current inventory also includes forward-drive alternatives (2025 Cobalt R8 Surf, 2018 Chaparral 257 SSX Surf, new 2027 Regal LS6 Surf) — our team can walk through the honest tradeoffs between the two drive architectures in person.
This 2016 MasterCraft X26 is offered as a brokerage listing through American Water Sports at our Kimberling City location — meaning the wakesurf boat is currently owned by a third-party seller who has consigned the sale process through our team. American Water Sports handles the buyer-side inquiry process, coordinates walkthrough and sea-trial arrangements, facilitates the sale transaction, and manages the documentation and ownership transfer — but the current owner sets the asking price, negotiates specific sale terms, and remains the legal owner of the wakesurf boat until sale close. For buyers, brokerage transactions have specific advantages: professional facilitation of the sale process through an experienced marine dealer, the ability to arrange in-person walkthrough and sea-trial at a professional dealer location, and the assurance that the sale is happening through an established marine sales operation rather than a direct owner-to-owner sale.
