MasterCraft has revealed its all-new MasterCraft NXT24 wake, surf and ski boat boasting enough space on board for up to 16 people – and all the gear they bring along.
The new model – the largest member of the expanding range of cheaper entry-level NXT models in the MasterCraft line-up that also includes the NXT20 and NXT22 – boasts more than 4400 litres of storage space inside its 7.3-metre hull length.
The new boat is also equipped with the GEN2 Surf System with preset wave profiles that make it easy to set up the wake behind the boat for different skill levels and activities.
The MasterCraft NXT24 is also available with the new DockStar handling system, which can alert a skipper if the craft is moving too close to an obstacle such as a dock.
Standard equipment in US specification includes customisable hull, deck and trim colours, and the 5.3-litre 365hp/543Nm Ilmor GDI V8 inboard engine.
US owners can also choose between the optional 373hp/552Nm 6.0-litre engine and the 430hp/650Nm 6.2-litre V8.
Optional extras include a saltwater package (hydraulic steering, stainless steel features and upgraded wiring harnesses and couplings), the Gen2 surf system (ballast bags, one-touch wake controls, tracking fins, attitude adjusting plate and wake-shaping device), convenience pack (swivelling board racks, depth sounder with water temperature, mooring cover, bimini, branded cleats and a floor cover), and the European package (metric gauges, engine modifications and a fire extinguisher).
Boats delivered to Australia can also with an optional trailer built to Australian standards.
No pricing has been announced, however, a complete boat and trailer package is expected to cost around $150,000 with the first Australian deliveries arriving in about October.
