  • The Masters 247 Bay Boat is a versatile all around 24' bay boat designed for fishing, family cruising and even offshore trips without major compromises.
  • It blends comfort with practicality through features like an oversized hardtop, a comfortable helm seat and a large rear bench that folds flush for a clean deck and easy trailerability.
  • Owners report real world performance and value with 40+ miles offshore trips for marlin, sandbar family days and a best selling status in the 24' bay boat segment backed by a reasonable starting price that includes essential amenities.

Having a boat that can fish shallow creeks, run across the bay in less-than-ideal conditions, or even make a trip offshore on a good day is a pretty complete package. It becomes even better if that tough fishing boat can also be comfortable to the entire family for days at the sandbar or an evening summer sunset cruise. Maybe you’re into skiing and want a boat that can do everything plus ski. It’s hard to find a bay boat that can do all of this without compromises. Thankfully Sportsman Boats has the perfect boat for all of those activities.

We’ve seen customers who have taken their Masters 247 40+ miles offshore and caught monster Marlin. You’ll see them at the sandbar every weekend with people laid out on the bow sundeck. You’ll always see a few cruising around enjoying the weather and the family time on the water. Plus, you might even see one getting shallow on a flood tide up in the flats catching some tailing redfish.

The Masters 247 Bay Boat is an all-around boat and that’s why it continues to be the best-selling true 24’ bay boat in the industry. From its 14” draft to its large max horsepower rating of 350HP the 247 meets all the requirements. The standard features aboard this beauty beat all the competition with a standard oversized hardtop packed full of features. The comfortable standard leaning post makes sitting at the helm for long rides more than enjoyable. Seating multiple people along the rear deck is easily done with the large two-person bench seat that easily collapses for a completely flush rear deck fishing area. The standard features go on and on and each one adds value and practicality to this amazing craft.

The Masters 247 is the perfect boat for a growing family that loves to fish. At the starting price it includes all the amenities needed to get on the water, enjoy a day of fishing, or a family trip to the sandbar. To top it all, it’s easy to trailer even with an SUV or quarter ton truck. If you’re new to boating or even just looking to upgrade to a better and more comfortable boat the Masters 247 should be one of the top boats on your list. There’s a reason it continues to be the best-selling true 24’ bay boat in the industry.
