The XT23′s seating features upholstery that’s as beautiful to look at as it is comfortable to sit on. Many owners opt for the CoolFeel vinyl upgrade, which stays 30 percent cooler in hot sun. Also notable, MasterCraft makes the upholstery for its boats in-house, using mildew-, UV- and stain-resistant materials. The aft bench is a convertible affair. In one position, your crew faces forward. Flip it, and they face aft, capturing the action behind the boat.
