What\u2019s all-new and will definitely appeal to everybody is the redesigned helm, dash and operating systems. The XT dash features a 12-inch touchscreen with a new, more intuitive interface. Also, an all-new quick-control dial allows adjusting the stereo without the need to locate audio controls on the touchscreen. Truly cool is the new MasterCraft MyDrive rotary encoder. This dial allows navigating the touchscreen without tapping, while hot keys around the dial offer instant adjustments to surf settings and other features.\u00a0<\/p>\n<section class=\"hydra-container\">\n<div class=\"hydra-canvas\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.boatingmag.com\/uploads\/2024\/11\/BTGBG25-WSP-MasterCraft-XT23-2-1024x768.jpg?resize=800%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" class=\"hydra-image\" alt=\"MasterCraft XT23 helm\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/uploads\/2024\/11\/BTGBG25-WSP-MasterCraft-XT23-2-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/uploads\/2024\/11\/BTGBG25-WSP-MasterCraft-XT23-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/uploads\/2024\/11\/BTGBG25-WSP-MasterCraft-XT23-2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/uploads\/2024\/11\/BTGBG25-WSP-MasterCraft-XT23-2-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/uploads\/2024\/11\/BTGBG25-WSP-MasterCraft-XT23-2.jpg 2000w\">                <\/div><figcaption class=\"caption margin_top_xs full border_1 hydra-figcaption\">\n                <span class=\"hydra-image-caption\">The XT dash features a 12-inch touchscreen with a new, more intuitive interface.<\/span><br \/>\n                <span class=\"article_image_credit italic margin_right_xs\">Tom King<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/section>\n<p>The XT23 is equipped with 3,300 pounds of ballast, plenty to displace the boat and kick up high-level wakes and waves. The Rapid Surf system offers presets for every activity built into the interface. With it, users can quickly pick what they want and start riding, or tweak the plates\u2019 positions on the fly for total customization. Rapid Surf features seven positions and an integrated diagram on the display to show how the wave\u2019s shape will change based on the system\u2019s positioning. With the ballast full and a small crew on board, the XT23\u2019s wave is big, clean and a ton of fun while being easily customizable to accommodate any skill level.<\/p>\n<section class=\"hydra-container\">\n<div class=\"hydra-canvas\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.boatingmag.com\/uploads\/2024\/11\/BTGBG25-WSP-MasterCraft-XT23-3-1024x768.jpg?resize=800%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" class=\"hydra-image\" alt=\"MasterCraft XT23 aft seating\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/uploads\/2024\/11\/BTGBG25-WSP-MasterCraft-XT23-3-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/uploads\/2024\/11\/BTGBG25-WSP-MasterCraft-XT23-3-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/uploads\/2024\/11\/BTGBG25-WSP-MasterCraft-XT23-3-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/uploads\/2024\/11\/BTGBG25-WSP-MasterCraft-XT23-3-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/uploads\/2024\/11\/BTGBG25-WSP-MasterCraft-XT23-3.jpg 2000w\">                <\/div><figcaption class=\"caption margin_top_xs full border_1 hydra-figcaption\">\n                <span class=\"hydra-image-caption\">Transom seats bring comfortable lounging to the stern.<\/span><br \/>\n                <span class=\"article_image_credit italic margin_right_xs\">Tom King<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/section>\n<p>Our tester model was equipped with Ilmor\u2019s new 5.3L GDI HO engine, which comes standard.
