 The flagship of the Tournament Series comes packing a punch with shallow water performance for the Ultimate Angler. The Tournament 234 Bayboat takes your shallow water fishing to the next level. The Tournament Series Bayboots have an increased angle at the transom which allows the engine to trim down just a little bit further, minimizing bow lift during takeoff and giving you exceptional stand up performance in shallow water conditions. The Tournament 234 is 23 feet 4 inches with an 8 foot 5 inch beam. It holds 71 gallons of fuel and has an 8 person capacity. The hull has a 15 degree dead rise at the transom and is designed to yield a dry and comfortable ride without compromising shallow water performance. With a 13 inch draft, this build can get you into the more remote shallow water fishing spots. The Tournament 234 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. Starting at the bow, a large bow casting deck with all recess high quality hardware for an obstruction free deck. At the center, an oversized anchor locker compartment and pull up cleat. Opening the lid reveals a designed in anchor tray that keeps your anchor in place and stops it from falling in. When anchored, the rope gets neatly routed into the compartment through the notch on the lid. For ease of installation, we have pre-wired this model to accept a trolling motor. We've included a quick disconnect plug inside the anchor compartment and a harness that runs into the console. Keeping your catch fresh will be no problem with the large center insulated fish box. This can double up as dry storage or cooler. For storage at the bow, a wide step storage box perfect for storing away gear like casting nets or ropes, which also serves as an easy step up to the casting deck.

When not being used as a live well, fill it up with ice and food or use it as dry storage. Inside of the console, a lockable storage area with plenty of space for an optional port-a-potty. Peeling back the cover reveals access to the electrical components of the boat.

There are two 20 gallon insulated livewells on either side of the seat and they are very easy to access. Additionally, the starboard livewell features the pro-air bubbler system. This ensures your livewell has an oxygen-rich source of air on demand. Both of them can double up as coolers or dry storage. One important safety feature built into the Tournament 234 is the self-bailing cockpit which allows any water on the deck to drain overboard and not into the bilge area. All sportsman boats have a collector box drainage system that pipes the water directly overboard without any mechanical assistance.

The Tournament 234 is the ultimate tournament platform for anyone looking to fish skinny water but still retain a great ride and family comfort. The cockpit is purpose designed for an open field and includes all of the amenities that you will need. The lower gunnels and shallow draft make this a great fishing machine.
