The 28-foot X-80 is impressive at first glance - or any other glances for that matter. Active lifestyle boaters often find themselves grinning from ear to ear when faced with the unsurpassed design and incomparable size of the inboard industry’s grandest creation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
But when they find out the voluminous room that is created with the twin-point bow and power of the dual GM V-8 engines, it’s double the pleasure.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Four feet longer and 12 inches wider than any other MasterCraft X-Series model, the X-80 is both uncommonly large and uniquely designed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Unlike other inboards, the VectorDrive X-80’s running surface utilizes a vented stepped hull and forked open bow for increased passenger capacity, similar to the X-Star.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The X-80’s enormity allows families and friends to spend more time playing and less time making pit stops at the dock.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Featuring a 110-gallon fuel tank, the X-80 also sports an enclosed head and a convenience center with ice bucket and pressurized fresh water sink.
|
|
|
|
|
|
From bow to stern, the X-80 offers tons of space and comfort. The bow features contoured wrap-around seating, drink holders, powerful JL Audio speakers with separates and lots of storage.
|
|
|
|
|
|
It’s also accessible from outside the boat with a stainless steel ladder that telescopes from the vessel’s anchor stowage area – doubling the entry and exit points found on any other boat.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sitting or standing in the X-80’s cockpit is sublime. The boat’s speedometer, tachometer and Perfect Pass Wakeboard Pro cruise control white faced gauges are mounted above the dash in a billet aluminum, bullet-shaped “X-Pod” that puts them in full view of the driver.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The remainder of the carbon fiber dash houses all other essential instrumentation, including controls for the X-80’s Triple KGB liner ballast system.
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are three cup holders and the captain can tune the satellite-ready Clarion AM/FM CD stereo using a digital remote in the armrest.
|
|
|
|
|
|
And new for 2007, the X-80 is now equipped with the critically acclaimed enhanced MasterCraft Cruise.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The remainder of the X-80’s interior is completely open thanks to the boat’s VectorDrive engine transmission.
|
|
|
|
|
|
There’s plenty of walking room and wrap-around seating ideal for sunbathing, including a port-side drop-down lounger. This area is also loaded with amenities including abundant storage, drink holders, JL Audio speakers with separates, interior lighting, 12-volt plugs, floor drains and snap-in carpet.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The X-80’s enlarged fiberglass swim platform is seamlessly integrated into the stern. This oversized area is perfect for boarding the boat, putting on your board, launching a tube or just testing the water temperature.
|
|
|
|
|
|
But the most spectacular features of the X-80 are the twin powerhouses that push this fiberglass castle through the water with ease and confidence.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The X-80 is the industry’s only twin engine wakeboard boat, giving you access to 700 horses that will scare water out of its way.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Although the X-80 can out-accelerate MasterCraft’s premier ski boat in a head-to-head dual from 0 to 36 miles per hour, it also handles pulling at lower speeds for wakeboarding and wakesurfing, with absolute ease. Once again, doubling your fun.

|
|
|
Instead of old-school pitot pickups, MasterCraft’s under-hull paddlewheel delivers magnetic signals to accurately measure speed without being affected by random debris or atmospheric pressure.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Technology has improved even the most traditional underwater gear, holding design specifications within a .005-inch tolerance for superior performance.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Designed by MasterCraft to maximize fuel efficiency, reduce vapor lock and safeguard boaters, our exclusive in-tank fuel pump pushes fuel to the engine, rather than pulling it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To minimize vibration and prop slippage, our shaft and coupler use a fitted tongue-and-groove design, which requires fewer parts and tools, making maintenance quick and easy.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Our hand-laid and hand-rolled fiberglass method—standard since 1983—ensures that each boat receives a calculated lamination schedule in high-stress areas, built to withstand not just years of boating, but decades.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Don’t worry about keeping sound down in a MasterCraft. Unlike our competitors, we install noise-reducing fiberglass mufflers on every boat we offer.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Stainless steel bolts, nuts, screws, washers, clamps, staples, and insert nuts protect every boat’s beauty, integrity, and longevity against the harsh elements of water.
|
|
|

|
Electromechanical Borg Warner instrumentation is driven by proprietary software to read streaming data impulses and deliver unrivaled accuracy.

|
Don’t get caught short in a seat that doesn’t elevate. Move the comfortable bolster seat into place to boost the driver an additional four inches higher.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Easily clamp your boards into place for increased stow-away space and swivel your equipment 180-degrees into the boat for boathouse storage (standard on all X-Series boats except the X-1 and X-2).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
An option for most, our standard electronic fuel injection system increases fuel economy and high-output engine performance, surpassing the archaic yet standard carbureted engines used by the competition.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We pull no punches with our pylons. Each is constructed of solid aluminum, anodized to prevent wear and then through-bolted into steel plates eight to 16 times to sustain merciless torque. It’s topped off with a WearGuard nylon inset to prevent rope chafe.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Have a blast aboard a MasterCraft, with the JL Audio interior and tower speakers, designed exclusively for MasterCraft. Controlled by a premium Clarion head unit, our standard sound optimizes sound clarity inside and out.
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
Big is beautiful. MasterCraft’s oversized teak boarding platform is the perfect place for putting on equipment, teaching young ones how to ski, or getting back on board.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Forgot to hit the auto bilge switch? Don’t worry. MasterCraft does it for you with a bilge system that automatically senses bilge water level and empties it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
LCD displays depth, hour meter, clock, water temperature, and alarm messages clearly and accurately so you can monitor your MasterCraft’s optimum performance.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Digital Throttle Control (DTC) operates at the speed of light and without the bulkiness of cables: the throttle “talks” electronically to the engine, allowing for a tow-sport-specific “cruise control.”
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Your upholstery should look as good as your boat. Premium-grade vinyl with UV protection, mildew resistors, and stain-resistant treatment maintains its shape and color for years.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Rotocast tanks positioned above and beneath the floor utilize their own industrial-sized pumps to quickly ingest up to 1,000-pounds of water weight in under five minutes (Standard on entire X-Series line of boats).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Even with an element as basic as a steering wheel, MasterCraft makes you look good on the water. With our four-spoke, vinyl-wrapped, polished aluminum steering wheel, (standard on most models) you’ll make all the turns in style.
