If you think you need a huge boat to get a monster surf wake, you haven’t seen the X20. It still has one of the beefiest wakes in the lineup. It starts with 2,000 pounds of ballast (and thanks to 2 pumps per tank can fill/empty in 4 minutes compared to the typical 10-15 min for others, and can be done underway). No longer will your family and friends be waiting while you fill up that tanks and plug and play bags or any fat sacs just to surf. Nor does everyone have to finish wakeboarding or other activities before you set up for surf. Changing sides or switching from surf to wakeboarding is done before the person gets back to the boat or even switches their boards! Combine that with its 4,800 pounds of hull and engine weight, plus gas, and you are already over 7,000 pounds. And that’s before you invite 11 guests to join you. This boat can produce a monster wave. With clamping racks and a 4 board bimini surf sleeve, you can carry everything you need for a day on the lake! In addition to the 718-pound centerline bow ballast tank and twin 645-pound stern tanks, the Gen 2 Surf System uses a wave-shaping device that’s custom made for the X20 hull to redirect the flow of water to push up from beneath to form a mountain of surfing wake that can range from mellow to steep, based on your needs. This Gen 2 system allows you to surf switch sides at any time simply by pushing a button on the touch screen. You don't have to move any weight around; you just pick a mellow or steep setting and you're off to the races. And it is the X20’s deeper and stouter hull shape that allows it to cut through chop as well as my previous I/O. Never thought an inboard would do that! Wondering about power when the boat is full of adults and trying to pull your 250lb friend – we have done it and had no problems. To help get this surfing machine out of the hole, this X series boat has the 2:1drive ratio which makes a world of difference. As well as Auto Launch, which automatically deploys trim tabs improving its holeshot by nearly a second as it reaches plane in only 3 seconds. A Murphy touchscreen allows us to quickly fill and empty ballast and even perform engine diagnostics if I wanted. It also allows us to control Auto Launch and Auto Level and take charge of the Fusion P700 stereo that allows anyone to set the volume separately in different zones on the boat. The upgraded Bluetooth stereo system has two JL Audio tower speakers, a subwoofer, and 6 cockpit speakers. We also upgraded to the GPS navigation system that has all the US and Canada lakes – tells where the water changes depth and submerged vegetation is – which makes it so much easier to navigate the lake, especially as water levels change! The swim platform is designed to feature a more sloped rear section for smoother entry into the water. For boarders taking a break, transom seatbacks flip up for the stern jumpseats. All seating has the new 150-pound puncture-resistant upholstery. And everyone loves the rear Convertable Seat, which takes the back bench and turns it into a rearward-facing seat for watching wake surfing and wake boarding. Even up front, the pickle-fork bow has sculpted rearward-facing seats. With a bow filler cushion and removeable cup holders, it is a great place to kick back and enjoy the ride, sun, and watch the riders off the back. We also added extra sea deck on the gunnels and bow. Gives it a great look and makes is safer for the kids. Billet everywhere, perfect vinyl stitching, and superior materials are all classic MasterCraft quality that will stand the test of time. Large capacity storage is made possible by underseat compartments throughout the boat. My wife loves it --the space, storage (check out the “coffin” with 10 cubic feet of carpeted storage with custom locker blue lighting), size, ease of operation, maneuvering around the dock, ability to drop the throttle and let the boat do the rest! She loves the preset profiles and that the out of the box, preset surf wake is phenomenal so she doesn't have to tweak a thing to have a blast. Lots of people tweak to cater to their preferences (and then store those as personal profiles) but you don't have to, because the preset surf wake is phenomenal! And she loves how this boat rides in rough water (cuts through chop like nothing). Also added:• Added Transom 3M scratch protection film (life and boat saver for sure!)• Added PTM Pro Edge silver Billet panoramic mirror (VR-140)• Added bow stereo Fusion remote (marriage saver : ))• Upgraded to 2016 full size / reclining driver seat $1500 (back saver)• Added hydraulic drive seat pedestal (not as needed as I thought it would be)• Added FAE (Fresh Air Exhaust) – best upgrade we have ever done!
