2026 MasterCraft NXT23

The 2026 MasterCraft NXT23 is a hand-laid fiberglass V-drive wake and surf boat designed for waves, skiing, and family use. At 23 feet long with a 100-inch beam, it weighs 5,030 pounds and carries up to 16 people or 2,160 pounds of total weight. The boat accommodates a full crew while fitting in a standard slip, with 65 gallons of fuel capacity and 3,130 pounds of ballast capacity. Power comes from the Ilmor 5.3L GDI HO VD 2.1 V8, a high-output engine tuned specifically for V-drive wake loads and fully ballasted wave pulling.

The standout feature is MasterCraft's SurfStar wake-shaping system, which uses electric-over-hydraulic actuators with position sensing to create tournament-grade push-the-rope surf waves on either side of the boat at the flip of a switch. The NXT Fasterfill ballast system fills the full 3,130-pound capacity quickly so the wave is ready without delay. A Z6 Tower in Silver Satin holds standard clamping board racks and provides a tower bimini for shade.

This example is finished in Magnetic Blue hull with White accents on the deck, bottom, and swim platform, complemented by Chrome Satin graphics. The cabin features a warm Bowmore Beach Tan primary interior with Bowmore Magnetic Blue secondary accents and Deckadence Tan flooring with Tan SeaDek on the platform. The NXT Dash provides modern instrumentation, while MasterCraft SoundStage Meridian audio delivers six 7-inch speakers, a 10-inch subwoofer, a 6-channel amp, and an optional pair of M80 Black tower cans with a 2-channel amp. Standard equipment includes a pop-up ski pylon, depth finder, fire extinguishers, auto-fill cleats, an engine flush kit, and onboard MasterCraft Telematics for real-time boat health reporting. The boat is equipped with dual batteries, a 110-volt battery charger, an Acrylic Walkthrough Door, and an Activ-View Panoramic mirror.
