 It's no secret that Bayboats continue to grow in popularity year after year. The Masters series from Sportsman has always led the pack in innovation, features and amenities. We are proud to introduce you to our brand new Masters 247-OE Bayboats. The Masters 247-OE sets a new standard and expands our OE offerings that started with our flagship. This one, however, comes in sporting a brand new design following suit with the new Sportsman design language. The Masters 247-OE is 24 feet 4 inches with an 8 foot 4 inch bead. It holds 71 gallons of fuel and has a 10 person capacity. The haul has a 15 degree dead rise at the transom and 14 inch draft. The Masters 247-OE is built using our proprietary SportTech advanced fabrication process utilizing composite materials and no wood. This boat comes back with a transferable 10 year haul limited warranty and is NMMA certified. This certification ensures that this boat adheres to the highest safety standard guidelines set by the ABYC bringing you the peace of mind that you are purchasing a high quality and safe boat for you and your family. For a detailed look at how our boats are built, check out our series behind the glass where we explore our build process in great detail. On the new Masters 247-OE the most drastic changes start at the bow. We've gone from a traditional babel casting platform to a more open hybrid design while still retaining a large bow casting deck. Wrapping all the way around you will notice a tow rail. This adds styling as well as safety as it lets you feel where the edge is when you're focused on a fish. At this level we've also designed in an oversized anchor locker with a notched lid and a trolling motor plug. Immediately behind that a 15 gallon live well when not being used for bait it doubles up as an insulated cooler. Getting up to the casting deck is no problem with the molded in step box. Opening the lid reveals storage and the freshwater hookup. The top is covered with a pad so it can double up as a seat on those sunny sand bar days. Wrapping around the bow we've included bolster pads and handrails for safety. Stepping away from the bow, a sleek modern console following our new sportsman design language. This new console sports an integrated D2 being hard top frame extruded out of a single piece of aluminum. This design takes the frame legs off of the deck giving you more space around the console and more space inside the head. On the starboard side you'll find the iconic sportsman side window glass that brings in tons of light into the interior space. Wrapping all around as an integrated tempered glass enclosure with a manually actuated vent. Front and extended chase lounge for two adults with armrest and a 270 quart insulated bow coffin box underneath. This newly designed console features a larger finished interior. We have put the extra space to good use by designing in designated trolling motor battery storage. This allows you to have the three trolling motor batteries tucked away from the visible floor. Access to the electrical components is a breeze with the large access behind the helm. The boat we are on today also has the optional battery charger. Ergonomics is one of the key elements during the helm design process. We have meticulously laid out this console for comfort and function. The dash features the latest in Garmin electronics and comes standard with the new 1243 excess feet 12 inch GPS sonar combo. A second one is optional and fills up the dash with a high end look. For stereo, we include a Fusion Apollo 670 with eight JL Audio M3 speakers. But the boat we are on today has the ultra premium upgrade which includes the Fusion Apollo 770, JL Audio MVI amplifiers with built-in DSP and the top of the line JL Audio M6 speakers. This system rocks. Additional features include tilt helm with a sportsman steering wheel, electrotap trim tabs with auto retract, high quality stainless steel toggle switches with backlit labels and cup holders. Over the top of the console we've designed in two storage cubbies perfect for phones, wallets and other small items. At the center, a compass with a light. Additional storage can also be found at the bottom of the footrest. The new hardtop frame soups up from the console. The detubing design provides immense support and structural integrity. We've packed this top with amenities that will quickly become a must-haves for you and your family. On the top side integrated navigation lights. This design gets the light completely off of the deck and out of the way for an unobstructed installation. We've also integrated the Garmin VHF radio with the antenna on a ratchet mount. Additionally, six speakers perfectly positioned for delivering high fidelity to all those on board. For lights on the top, we have spread lights for those early mornings and late night trips. And lastly, rocket launchers across the back for five rods to complete the top. The comfortable helm is paired up to a set of high back seats with adjustable bolsters. This sturdy aluminum frame allows for plenty of storage space underneath. We've equipped the boat we're on today with the optional slide out track with the Yeti cooler. We also offer just a track in case you already own a cooler. For additional tackle storage, you can opt in for the under-leaning post tackle storage. The frame also includes rod holders across the back and grab handles for safety. A strategic area of focus on while we were designing the 24070E was the rear deck. The goal was to open up the space behind the leaning post as much as possible without losing any of the rear casting deck space. To achieve this, we've moved the entire rear deck further back and eliminated the traditional splash well. We've equipped this boat with a pair of 25 gallon aquarium live wells. These live wells are both functional and aesthetically beautiful. The see-through glass allows you to check on your bait without opening the lid. The starboard well features the pro-air bubbler system that pumps oxygen-rich bubbles into your live well. At the center, a deep two-person seat. The bottom flips open to reveal best-in-class access to the bilge and other important components. The backrest flips down and locks into place for an obstruction-free rear deck. Since we've removed the splash well, the boat is equipped standard with a 10 inch setback jack plate. The jack plate moves the engine further aft, which allowed us to open up the space behind the leaning post. The result is more open cockpit space. For power, your choice of 250 or 300 horsepower including Yamaha's new integrated steering F300. Telescoping three-step ladder with a swim platform. Four-year night cruise and the cockpit is also nicely lit with the interior LED lighting package. The all-new Masters 247-OE Bayboat Blendz hardcore fishing with family comfort and in bodies the incredible ride that you've come to love from our 247.
