Meet the 2026 MasterCraft NXT23 — a true, hand-laid MasterCraft V-drive at one of the most accessible price points in the 23-foot wake segment, dressed here in one of the more eye-catching color combinations of the 2026 lineup. Now available at American Water Sports on Table Rock Lake in Missouri, this NXT23 (Stock #MC-NXT23.26-C9DT1) is finished in a classic, coastal Magnetic Blue hull and Magnetic Blue transom accent over a bright White deck, White bottom, White swim platform, and White forward and aft deck accents — set off by Chrome Satin graphics, a Silver Satin Z6 Tower, silver clamping board racks, and Midnight Black monograms with black thread. Inside, the cabin runs a warm Bowmore Beach Tan primary base with Bowmore Magnetic Blue 2nd and 3rd base for a striking blue-and-tan beach-house palette, set over a Deckadence Tan floor with Tan SeaDek accents on the platform. Powered by the Ilmor 5.3L GDI HO VD 2.1 V8 and equipped with MasterCraft’s full SurfStar wake-shaping system, NXT Dash, MasterCraft SoundStage Meridian audio with 2 M80 Black tower cans, NXT Fasterfill ballast, Z6 Tower, Acrylic Walkthrough Door, Activ-View Panoramic mirror, dual batteries, and 110-volt onboard battery charger, this NXT23 is a no-compromise V-drive wake and surf boat built for wake, surf, ski, and family use on Table Rock Lake and beyond.
The NXT23 is MasterCraft’s accessible mid-size V-drive — a true 23-foot MasterCraft built on the same hand-laid hull philosophy and factory-trained service network as the X-Series, positioned for the buyer who wants a real MasterCraft without stepping into XT or X-Series pricing. At 23 feet long with a 100-inch beam, 5,030 pounds of hull weight, and a 2,160-pound / 16-person weight capacity, the NXT23 handles a full cove-day crew while still dropping into a standard slip. MasterCraft’s full SurfStar wake-shaping system is on board, giving the NXT23 push-the-rope surf waves on either side of the boat with a switch — the same wake-shaping DNA that runs through MasterCraft’s XT and X-Series — and the NXT Fasterfill ballast system fills the boat’s 3,130-pound ballast capacity fast so you spend more time on the rope and less time at the trailer.
MasterCraft’s SurfStar system is the headline capability on this NXT23 — electric-over-hydraulic wake-shaping actuators with position sensing, side-to-side switching so riders can surf either side of the boat without shifting ballast, an attitude adjustment plate, PDM, stock ballast, plumbed ballast bags, and tracking fins. The result is a tournament-grade, push-the-rope surf wave on either side of the boat at the flip of a switch, and with NXT Fasterfill the 3,130-pound ballast capacity fills quickly so the wave is ready when you are. Power comes from the optional Ilmor 5.3L GDI HO VD 2.1 V8 — MasterCraft and Ilmor’s high-output V8 built specifically for V-drive wake loads — with GDI throttle response, HO headroom for pulling a fully ballasted wave, and the 2.1 transmission ratio tuned for clean wake and surf speed. Onboard MasterCraft Telematics reports real-time boat health and location back to the MasterCraft app.
Behind the wheel, the NXT Dash delivers clean, modern instrumentation tuned for the NXT platform. The standard MasterCraft SoundStage audio system anchors the cabin with six Meridian 7-inch speakers, a Meridian 10-inch subwoofer, a Meridian 6-channel amp, and a Meridian DSP with full zone control. Layered on top, the optional Tower Accessories package adds 2 Meridian M80 tower cans in black with a 2-channel amp — serious, rider-facing sound that punches through the wind at wake and surf speed. Overhead, the Z6 Tower in Silver Satin provides clean welded lines, a tower bimini cover for shade, and standard silver clamping board racks for the crew’s wake boards, surfboards, and skis.
The color story on this C9DT1 is what sets it apart on the rack — a deep, metallic Magnetic Blue Hull 1, Hull 2, and transom accent paired with a bright White deck, White bottom, White swim platform, and White forward and aft deck accents for a high-contrast, coastal-classic two-tone that photographs beautifully and reads premium from across the cove. Chrome Satin graphics, Silver Satin Z6 Tower, silver clamping board racks, and Midnight Black monograms with black thread keep the accents tight and modern. Inside, the cabin runs a warm Bowmore Beach Tan primary base with Bowmore Magnetic Blue 2nd and 3rd base — the blue interior accents tying directly to the hull color in a classic beach-house palette that’s modern, sun-friendly, and easy to live with. Underfoot, the Deckadence Tan floor and Tan SeaDek on the platform finish the warm, beach-tone interior story. The Acrylic Walkthrough Door, Activ-View Panoramic mirror, dual batteries, and 110-volt onboard battery charger round out a complete, turn-key NXT23 package.
