About Steel
Awesome, humble and did we mention awesome? Steel is always pushing the limits of what’s possible on the water. The first wakeboarder to land the toeside backside 900, heelside backside 1080 and double mute half cab mobe, Steel is constantly revolutionizing the sport. When he’s not having fun on the water, he’s spending time with his family and practicing his faith.

“MasterCraft is more than a boat company to me... they are family. MasterCraft was the boat I learned to ride behind, and hopefully it will be the boat I continue to ride behind for the rest of my life.”
-Steel Lafferty
Power. Precision. Presence.
Steel’s Choice
This boat doesn’t just raise the bar—it resets it. After nearly a decade of leading the 24-foot class, we went back to the foundation and rebuilt the X24 hull-up. The result? More power. More precision. More presence.
X24
The X24 blends aggressive performance with refined luxury—designed to outperform, not just compete. With a reengineered hull, SurfStar, and the available Ilmor Supercharged 6.2L engine, the X24 delivers a wave that’s bigger, cleaner, and easier to customize. Intuitive to drive and effortless to dial in, it’s built for everyone—from first-time riders to seasoned pros.
