MasterCraft Boat has introduced its new XT25, the largest multi-purpose crossover boat in the competitively-priced XT range, a towboat designed to maximise all-around performance and host an exceptional party on the water.
The flagship XT25 in the new 2018 MasterCraft line-up can cater for a crew of up to 18 with a traditional bow and new interior layout, which is said to offer more rear-facing seating than ever before. The idea is to enhance socialisation and wake-sports spectating.
The XT25’s two new rear-facing seats include a standard flip-up seat that converts into a bench and an optional starboard pull-up, rear-facing seat with a raising backrest that also converts into a bench seat.
NEW HULL WITH GEN 2 SURF SYSTEM
The new crossover hull bottom on the XT25 is said to deliver a wake shape for everyone, from huge wakeboard wakes to massive customisable surf waves and smooth slalom skiing.
Like all MasterCraft boats, the (optional) award-winning Gen 2 Surf System has been custom designed for the XT25’s new crossover hull, creating three zones of perfectly sculpted lips and sizeable curling surf waves.
The Gen 2 Surf System, combined with up to 1270kg (2800lbs) of ballast, optimises and amplifies the wake to new levels, MasterCraft says.
The XT25 can also be outfitted with MasterCraft’s revolutionary Dockstar Handling System. The innovative flanking rudder system makes it much easier to 'walk' the boat back in tis berth.
KLIPSCH AUDIO AND TOUCH SCREEN DASH
MasterCraft exclusive Klipsch Audio comes standard in the XT25, creating concert-level sound for the entire crew.
The XT25 comes standard with a 4.5in Touch Screen Dash with the option to upgrade to MasterCraft’s revolutionary Dual-Screen Dash that simplifies and enhances the on-board experience with technology that tunes the boat’s operations to three usage modes.
The Dual-Screen Dash improves helm styling and ergonomics, integrates with consumer technology devices and provides important diagnostic information, navigation and tutorial videos.
The Dual-Screen Dash and Klipsch Audio System, when combined in the XT25’s Premium Audio package, have operating modes that also control the premium audio output.
POWER TOWER AND ILMOR MOTORS
The XT25 is equipped with the easy-folding, gas shock assisted ZFT2 tower, while the ZFT4 or customisable ZFT7 Power Tower are upgrade options. Premium tower upgrades are available for countless custom colours, speaker layouts and vertical storage options.
The XT25 is powered by the latest General Motors engines marinised exclusively for MasterCraft by Ilmor Marine, including its standard powerplant, the Ilmor 5.3L gasoline direct injection V8 engine (5500 GDI V8).
Two Ilmor Gen Five gasoline direct injection V8 motor options are available, including the 6000 GDI V8 (6.2L) or the 7000 MPI V8 (7.4L).
Hand-built by master xraftsmen in the U.S.-based manufacturing facility in Vonore, TN, the XT25 comes with a five-year MasterCare protection plan and warranty.
