At a hair under 23 feet, the 4,100 pound X-35 utilizes an advanced hull design that incorporates more deadrise at both the bow and the stern, giving it more big water capability at cruising speeds. And once its 102-inch hull nestles into the water at speeds below 24 mph it taunts riders and surfers with a perfectly formed wake.

A famous quote reads: “Beauty is a form of genius – is higher, indeed, than genius, as it needs no explanation.” This sentiment possibly best expresses the attraction to the X-35 – a slick, stunning VectorDrive runabout that defies explanation yet triggers unparalleled veneration in the crowded marketplace of 23-foot performance towboats.

Big and wide on the outside, the X-35 also neatly utilizes every square inch of the onboard space, featuring clean underseat and sundeck storage compartments that hold anything any entourage may carry on. Up front, MasterCraft’s X-Pod inspired modular dash display and billet cockpit appointments give wake captains a perfect vantage point for finding clean water and navigating double-ups.

Up top, the X-35 sports the new re-designed ZeroFlex tower, ordained with custom legs, built-in, spring-loaded board racks that clamp boards and swivel for easy retrieval. The ZeroFlex, known for its unflinching pulls, provides a sturdy tow point for riders whether they’re working on surface turns or crow mobes. Underneath the aluminum sits JL Audio speaker cans and lights, guaranteed to liven up any session.

So whether you spot the X-35 with your eye or have the privilege to hitch on to its wake, either way it is a beautiful catch.
