MasterCraft X24 review

The 2026 MasterCraft X24 marks the first full refresh of this model in nearly a decade, featuring a completely redesigned hull, expanded cockpit, and enhanced ergonomics [1]. Its bold aesthetic merges modern aggression with MasterCraft’s classic sheerline, while practical details like integrated armrests, wireless chargers, and a new observer-side touchscreen elevate daily usability [6]. The interior beam now measures 83 inches, creating a roomier feel that supports up to 17 passengers with 94 cu ft of total storage [4][9].

On the water, the X24’s reengineered running surface produces pro-level wakes and waves that stay clean regardless of conditions [6]. Powered by the standard Ilmor 6.2L GTI engine (430 hp, 479 lb-ft torque), it balances speed and control, with optional supercharged variants for higher performance [3]. The 7,200-lb dry weight and 4,000+ lbs of ballast deliver a planted ride and superior wave push, while the new Z9 tower with actuator-mounted Bimini ensures consistent shade coverage [1][4].

Comfort and livability are strengthened by contoured seating, a power-adjustable captain’s chair, and the immersive Meridian soundstage that transforms the boat into a high-performance audio environment [3][6]. The 86-gallon fuel tank supports extended days, though not ultra-long excursions without refueling [4]. Value remains strong for towboat enthusiasts, but the $279K–$342K price range positions it as a premium investment [8]. For riders prioritizing wave quality, storage, and helm innovation, the X24 sets a new benchmark in the 24-foot category.
