2016 MasterCraft X26 launched: Video
New X Series with more X factor, fun factor, wave height, HP, and 18 person capacityMasterCraft has unveiled the new X26, the latest addition to its innovative 2016 boat line and a cool towboat that the cool U.S. company says delivers a category-defining balance of luxury, power and playfulness.
The biggest boat in the Series, and in a class of its own, the X26 has been designed to deliver an elevated experience on the water through high-end, refined features and upscale amenities coupled with MasterCraft’s famous towsports performance.
Handcrafted in MasterCraft’s U.S.-based manufacturing facility in Vonore, Tennessee, the X26 creates daylong recreation, luxury and comfort on the water using a roomy, adaptive interior that quickly morphs from
an intimate setting to a spacious lounge capable of accommodating a
guest list of 18!
The 'devil' is in the detail of the X26, with every square inch of the boat masterfully built using precision-cut fiberglass, hand stitched upholstery, industry-leading gelcoat gloss levels and retention, as well as jewel-like billet aluminum.
THE ENTERTAINER
Designed with entertaining in mind, the X26 has an optional head, built-in sink, refrigerator, multiple Igloo coolers, hidden garbage receptacles and gas-assisted shocks providing one-handed access to storage compartments.
Built for the family embarking on an all-day cruise, the boat also takes performance to the next level and opens up new recreational horizons with its agility and profound wake shaping capabilities.
WAKE TECHNOLOGY
The X26 debuts a completely redesigned hull shape including an unprecedented draft height and deadrise that enables it to easily out-manoeuvre similarly sized boats, MasterCraft says.
Its 1270kg (2800lb) built-in rotocast ballast tank helps create world-class wakeboarding while the award-winning Gen 2 Surf System and new hull design kicks up endless epic surf waves.
The boat responds to nearly every need at the touch of a button thanks to an intuitive optional Murphy touchscreen that controls the size and shape of the wave to the premium light and sound systems.
CRUISE CONTROL AND BIG BLOCKS
From steady cruising to hanging it up for the day, the process is as hands-off as it can be thanks to MasterCraft’s optional GPS-assisted ZeroOff cruise control and proprietary bow thruster that allows for effortless docking.
The X26 is powered by a 6.2L Ilmor engine with a 7.4L upgrade also available, both delivering 20 per cent more torque than the closest competitor. Marinised exclusively for MasterCraft by Ilmor, these engines are built in the same factory responsible for more than 280 IndyCar wins and 18 victories at the Indianapolis 500.
Options for personalisation range from color packages to GoPro-ready camera mounts. MasterCraft says there are millions of ways to customise an X26, meaning each and every boat is truly one of a kind.
As with all MasterCraft boats, the X26 is backed by a five-year bow-to-stern warranty. MasterCraft dealers will begin taking orders for the X26 immediately and consumers can begin configuring their “dream boat” at http://www.mastercraft.com.
