If you're heading to the Melbourne International boat show this weekend, be sure to check out the latest offering from US manufacturer Mastercraft.
Launched at the Show, the NXT is Matercraft's new entry-level boat that's built right alongside the more expensive Mastercrafts. But the NXT doesn't scrimp on features and its bold styling and colour scheme makes sure you're going to stand out on the water.
The NXT is powered by a 5.7-litre Ilmore V8 and offers a fuel capacity of 167 litres so you can stay out there all day.
The 20-foot hull features the pickle-fork bow which brings the beam forward for a big, luxurious bow section enabling total seating for up to 11 people.
Storage isn't a problem with deep lockers under the rotocast seats which lift with the help of gas struts.
The helm is a beauty with functional toggle switches and a digital screen that lets you monitor all functions of the boat. The aluminium dash wraps around the driver for a real sportscar feel and everything is at your fingertips. Yes, we were impressed!
The boat features front and rear ballast tanks so you can tailor your wake to suit your sport. And the NXT features a manually-adjustable tower.
Of course the NXT benefits from Mastercraft's legendary fit and finish and comes with a class-leading five-year transferrable warranty. The NXT is being offered at a Boat Show price of $79,900.
