Situated in the XT line between the 23-foot XT23 and 21-foot
XT21, the XT22’s spacious interior has the capacity to show up to
16 passengers endless summer fun. The innovative Pickle Fork bow
creates a capable forward lounge while rear transom seats and a
cockpit backrest open up more spots for family and
friends.
The 22-foot boat’s all-new hull and MasterCraft’s optional
award-winning Gen 2 Surf System creates three zones of perfectly
sculpted, sizeable waves. The XT22’s customized hard-sided ballast
tanks accommodate up to 2,700 lbs. of ballast to enhance the boat’s
wake. The XT22 can additionally be outfitted with the award-winning
Dockstar Handling System, a revolutionary flanking rudder system
that makes maneuvering in tight spots and crowded marinas a
breeze.
Simplified Digital Operation Tuned for the
WaterAfter studying its customers’ usage habits and
collaborating with leading technology partners, MasterCraft for
2018 simplified and enhanced the on-board experience with
technology that tunes the boat’s operations to three owner-favorite
usage modes: drive, tow and chill. This first-ever “modal”
operating software for towboats is enabled by MasterCraft’s new
proprietary premium dual-screen dash that streamlines boat
operation and improves helm styling and ergonomics.
Claiming the most screen real estate on any towboat, the 10.1”
new touch screen and 12” non-touch display simplify boat control,
enable better organization, and display information changes on both
screens based customized for each mode. The system’s software
maximizes the additional screens by also offering pre-loaded
tutorial videos and maps of all global waterways. The software also
cleanly integrates with users’ cellular phones, rear-facing cameras
and navigation as well as enabling real-time integration with
on-board GoPro Cameras.
The XT22 also debuts new customizable Klipsch Audio systems,
made available through a recently-announced partnership for the
audio pioneer’s systems to be the exclusive new standard audio
equipment for all new MasterCraft boats. Klipsch Audio’s
MasterCraft-exclusive marine speakers and amplification solutions
create a heavy-hitting, customizable concert-style entertainment
experience that also has an audio mode paired to each driving mode
(drive, tow, chill) with the dual-screen dash. The dash uses
Integrated ICE audio controls for the Klipsch audio system,
including zone volume control, equalizer, media sources and
integrated Bluetooth.
The XT22 debuts the new easy-folding, gas shock assisted ZFT2
tower as new standard equipment. Either the ZFT4 or customizable
ZFT7 Power Tower, remain tower upgrade options on the XT22. The
XT22 is powered by the latest General Motors engines marinized
exclusively for MasterCraft by Ilmor Marine. The XT22 comes
standard with an Ilmor 5.7L multi-port injection V8 engine (5000
MPI V8). Two Ilmor Gen Five gasoline direct injection motor options
are available, including the 5500 GDI V8 (5.3L), or the bolder 6000
GDI V8 (6.2L).
An ideal new family vessel, XT22 has the room for the whole clan
to climb on board and create memories. The XT22 served as the
catalyst to professional surfer, Leila Hurst, and her father to
reminisce about their lives surfing together. Please find their
story with the XT22 here: http://bit.ly/2tdTaOr.
