Nautique GS24 vs Mastercraft XT23

[TK MA]

I am in the market for a new crossover boat. I still like to slalom ski but also would like to get more into wakeboarding and wakesurfing. We have driven the GS22 as well as the XT23 and both are excellent boats. We would like a little more space than the GS22 can provide. We have not driven a GS24 as one was not available to drive during the northern boating season. Does anybody have any experience comparing the XT23 and GS24 in terms of ski, wakeboarding, wakesurfing characteristics?

With the Pro Ballast option for 2019, it may make comparison more difficult. Even if people have driven non-Pro Ballast GS24s it would be appreciated. Based upon searching the forum, the GS24 is a "ghost boat," where information is difficult to come by.

Thanks in advance.

No info here on the GS24. Good luck gathering any info of any kind .

While we found the ski wakes on both to be much bigger than we would like...... the wake on the XT25 didn’t seem bigger than the XT23. You might want to check that out as well, if you are looking for a lot of room. No experience with the GS24, but i don’t think any of these bigger “Crossovers” are very good for skiing.

something like a GS20, or XT20, XT21, would be a better crossover option, but not as much room in those.....
