The 2016 MasterCraft X26 is a 26-foot V-drive surf and wakeboard boat powered by an Indmar 7.4L MPI Big Block V8 engine producing approximately 425–475 horsepower. This is the largest model in MasterCraft's mid-2010s X-Series lineup, built on a fiberglass hull with an 8-foot beam. The 7.4-liter Big Block delivers strong low-end torque and the deep exhaust character that distinguishes it from the smaller-displacement engines found on later X26 models—a meaningfully larger platform choice for riders who value traditional V8 power and performance.
The X26 is equipped with MasterCraft's SurfStar wake-shaping system, which uses transom-mounted plates to build a side-specific surfable wave on demand. Factory-integrated ballast in the 3,000–3,800-pound range works with the 7.4L's pulling authority to maintain consistent wave amplitude across a full passenger load. The boat features an integrated wakeboard tower with board racks and tower-mounted speakers, MasterTouch touchscreen helm controls, and modern navigation and gauge electronics throughout.
The cockpit layout prioritizes premium family use with a wide-open bow lounge, wraparound seating, a generous midship helm area, observer seating at the transom, an integrated swim platform with boarding ladder, and robust ski-tow and wakeboard tower hardware. The larger 26-foot platform provides meaningful additional cockpit volume and passenger capacity compared to smaller X-Series siblings, offering better stability and drier conditions in bigger water.
The engine hour reading on this boat shows 0 hours and warrants verification at inspection, as this may indicate a recent engine replacement, rebuild with a fresh meter, or a reset during recent service. Condition details, upholstery status, specific equipment configuration, and service history should be confirmed directly with the seller.
