MasterCraft's cool new XT20 crossover wakeboat

MasterCraft’s new highly versatile 20-footer, the XT20, has been designed to pack hot performance and styling into a garage-friendly size.

Building on the success of the recently-released XT23 model, the new XT20 is MasterCraft’s latest addition to its new lineup of category-crushing, crossover boats that pack performance, wake modes, comfort and customisations at a very keen price.

Compact in size but loaded with features, the XT20 is designed especially for the active family and to sate everyone's favorite way to play. Some want to rock, some want to roll, but the XT20 is at your beck and call.

MasterCraft is proud of the fact the multisport XT20 can do it all without compromise, whether the preference is waterskiing, wakeboarding, wakesurfing, pulling the kids on inflatables, or simply enjoying a sunset cruise.

Armed with MasterCraft’s award-winning optional Gen 2 Surf System, and up to 772kg or 1700lb of optional ballast, the fully loaded XT20 is said to lay down a clean wake for waterskiing, perfectly sculpted lips for wakeboarding and chest-high curling surf waves. Three zones of hard-sided ballast tanks are hidden in the floor to maximise storage space.

Graced with MasterCraft’s signature pickle-fork bow and wrap-around interior seating, the XT20 can comfortably accommodate up to 11 passengers with more than 70 cubic feet or almost two metres of easy-to-access storage space
throughout the entire boat.

ENGINE OPTIONS
The new XT20 is powered by the latest line of General Motors engines marinised exclusively for the Tennessee-based boatbuilder by Ilmor Marine, the engineering team behind numerous Indy winning racecars.

The XT20 comes standard with a 5.7L multi-port injection V8 engine (5000 MPI V8). For those who prefer gasoline direct injection, Ilmor has introduced the new 5500 GDI V8 model (5.3L) along with the bolder 6000 GDI V8 model (6.0L).

HOT HULL
The aggressive XT-series hull lines on the new XT20 are said to deliver agile, responsive handling with minimum bow rise, thereby maximising the performance and pleasure on the water.

The spacious helm and new ergonomic dashboard allow the driver to control everything from the size and shape of the wake to the sound and lighting systems through the intuitive Murphy touchscreen.

New for 2017, MasterCraft boats can be outfitted with the revolutionary Dockstar Handling System, an innovative flanking rudder system that is said to make manoeuvring in tight spots and crowded marinas a breeze.

The XT20 can be outfitted with MasterCraft’s new 'Cool Feel' vinyl that stays cool to the touch even after extended exposure to direct sunlight. Owners can also opt for the integrated Cordova Cooler system to be the first to serve up endless everything on the water next summer.

CUSTOMISATIONS
The XT20 includes a choice of customisable towers, either the ZFT4 or ZFT7 Power Tower, with the latter available in countless configurations of colors, speaker layouts and vertical storage options.

The entire boat has been decked out with MasterCraft’s new aluminum billet styling touches providing a polished, almost bejeweled look.

For those who want to load up on no limits, the exterior of the XT20 can also be completely customised thanks to a broadened palette of gelcoat and flake patterns.

Like all MasterCraft boats, the XT20 comes with a five year MasterCare protection plan and warranty. Hand-built by master craftsmen in the company’s U.S.-based manufacturing facility in Vonore, TN, MasterCraft boats are promoted as being high quality and reliable for the best possible owner experiences and the highest resale values in the industry.
