2027 MasterCraft XT23

The 2027 MasterCraft XT23 builds on the surf performance that made it a favorite in the XT lineup. It offers the most storage in the XT family short of the XT24 and seats a full crew of 16, all in a length that still feels manageable to tow and dock. For families who want a little more boat than the XT22 without stepping up to the biggest models, the XT23 is a strong choice.

Behind the boat, SurfStar works with the Vector Drive hull and generous factory ballast to build a surf wave riders of every level can count on. The extra length gives the XT23 a smooth, confident ride with a full load. Available FastFill gets the boat ballasted faster, and the underwater exhaust keeps fumes and noise away from riders. Ilmor GDI power comes standard, with the larger Ilmor 6.2L GDI available for heavy crews.

New for 2027, SoundStage audio adds smart automations that adjust the speaker zones between Drive, Tow and Surf modes. The rider stays connected to the music while the crew can still talk in the cockpit. The XT23 also gets updated MyDrive software, a new storage net under the observer seat, a new standard cooler and an available built in inflator for tubes and paddleboards. An optional dog bowl that fits into the valuables drawer is a nice touch for owners who bring their dog along.

Standard equipment includes a 12 inch touchscreen with MyDrive, a rear facing camera, Navionics map packs, a hydraulic helm seat lift, keyless ignition, integrated transom seating with backrests, dual 10 inch subwoofers, an integrated billet trash can and a Z6 tower with shock assisted folding and clamping board racks. Popular upgrades include a Z8 tower with power board racks, tower speakers, RGB accent lighting, heated seats, a heater, convertible rear seat, CoolFeel vinyl, flip down swim step, cockpit wireless charging, a saltwater package and a stern thruster. Expanded 2027 color options include Torch Red and Cypress tower and accent colors and new flake gelcoats.
