MasterCraft Boat Company has unveiled its latest offering, the all-new X22, which represents a complete redesign aimed at setting new standards in the 22-foot premium towboat category. As a subsidiary of MasterCraft Boat Holdings, Inc., and known as the best-selling towboat brand, MasterCraft has infused the X22 with the luxury and performance DNA characteristic of its X Series while ensuring it stands out on its own. Krista Schipner, MasterCraft’s Vice President of Marketing, highlighted the X22 as a sharper, smarter, and more purposeful boat, meticulously reimagined to enhance the experience for both passengers and riders.
The X22 draws inspiration from its larger counterpart, the X24, refining engineering to achieve enhanced agility and sharper handling. This meticulous redesign has resulted in a boat that not only looks stunning but also delivers a commanding experience on the water. With MasterCraft’s SurfStar system and an impressive 3,800 pounds of ballast, the X22 is capable of producing waves that are bigger, cleaner, and more customizable than ever for a 22-foot boat. This innovation is particularly beneficial for both seasoned riders and beginners, as the Rapid Surf presets simplify the learning curve while the Custom Surf feature allows experienced riders to tailor their wave to their liking.
The helm of the X22 is designed with a dual-display layout that mirrors the advanced features of the X24. A panoramic center screen provides essential driving information, while a right-hand touchscreen offers control over surf settings, profiles, maps, cameras, lighting, and audio. The integration of MasterCraft MyDrive adds an intuitive, dial-based control system, enhancing the overall user experience.
As the boating community eagerly anticipates a complete test and video walkthrough of the X22, it is clear that MasterCraft is committed to pushing the boundaries of performance and luxury in towboats. The X22 not only aims to meet the high expectations set by its predecessors but also seeks to redefine what consumers can expect from a boat of its size. With its innovative features and refined design, the X22 is poised to make a significant impact in the market, appealing to both avid boaters and those new to the sport.
