Durable and uncomplicated, the two new entry-level offerings are built to live life to the fullest and provide the ultimate all-day, on-water experience for boaters at an approachable price point.
“Since the introduction of the NXT line in 2015, consumers have enjoyed the MasterCraft promise of high-quality, high-performance towboats at an entry-level offering,” said George Steinbarger, Chief Revenue Officer at MasterCraft. “Now, having heard the call from consumers for a 21-foot and 23-foot entry-level towboat, the NXT21 and NXT23 raise the bar across the entire entry-level towboat segment. We’ve thoughtfully designed these new models with the every-day boater and their family in mind – ultimately delivering the next-generation of NXT.”
UNMATCHED QUALITY AND COMFORT
Assembled on the same production line as the top-tier X and XStar boats, the NXT lineup offers the same craftsmanship and attention to detail that only MasterCraft delivers. Both the all-new NXT21 and NXT23 are handcrafted using premium high-quality materials including industry-leading towers, premium billet aluminum accents, and available CoolFeel vinyl that ensure a more comfortable and refined on-water experience. During the summer, additional shade options will keep everyone onboard cool and comfortable. The new hybrid bow design boasts the classic styling of a traditional bow while still offering a spacious layout and ample storage provided by the pickle fork design. With more space, the NXT21 has seating for 14 people and the NXT23 comfortably fits 16.
INCREASED CONNECTIVITY
Standard for all MasterCraft’s in 2023, the new NXT21 and NXT23 come equipped with onboard telematics sensors providing remote boat visibility. Through the MasterCraft Connect app, boaters can monitor their boat’s health, view and share critical data, and alert their local dealer for service needs. Additionally, both models can be equipped with an advanced Klipsch Audio sound system with Bluetooth connectivity to deliver a wireless, enhanced audio experience.
To stay connected and keep the music going all-day long, both models can be equipped with wireless phone chargers throughout the helm and cockpit.
