 The top-selling 24-foot family-friendly Bayboat has been reimagined and redesigned to bring you even more value. The Sportsman Master Series continues to lead the market in amenities features and innovation year after year. Today we introduce you to the all-new Masters 247 Bayboat. Sporting a brand new design following the new Sportsman design language, the Masters 247 comes in at 24 feet 4 inches with an 8-foot 4-inch beam. It holds 71 gallons of fuel and has a 10-person capacity. The hull has a 15-degree dead-rice at the transom designed to offer you a dry and comfortable ride without compromising shallow water performance. With a 14-inch draft, this boat will get you into the shallower fishing spots. The Masters 247 is built using our proprietary SportTech Advanced Fabrication Process utilizing composite materials and no wood. This boat comes back with a transferable 10-year hull 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. Being at the bow, a large bow casting deck with all recessed, high quality hardware for an obstruction-free deck. More of today's Fisherman user boats as a family boat and here too, this model excel with the optional bow seating cushions with backrests as well as the sun pad filler cushion. This will convert the bow into the perfect place to kick back and relax on hot sunny days. 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. We also include a tow rail shim for easy installation. Keeping your catch fresh will be no problem with the large center insulated fish box. This can double up as dry storage or a cooler. For extra storage at the bow, a wide step storage box perfect for stowing away gear like cast nets or ropes and it also serves as an easy step up to the casting deck. This boat is equipped with a freshwater system and inside the step box you'll find the hookup for the hose and the fill. The boat has a 13 gallon freshwater tank. On both sides of the bow, this boat has designed-in lockable rot storage. The lid opens towards the front for easy access even when the boat is on a lift or trailer. Stepping away from the bow, a sleek modern console following our new sportsman design language. This new console sports an integrated D2 being hardtop 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 tons of light into the interior space. Wrapping all around is an integrated tempered glass enclosure with a manually actuated vent. Up front you will find a two-person seat with a backrest as well as a 17 gallon insulated livewell under the bottom cushion. When not being used as a livewell, fill it with ice and food or use it as dry storage. 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 console floor. Access to electrical components is a breeze with the large access behind the helm. The boat we are on today also includes a battery charger option. 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 brand new 1243 Access V 12 inch GPS sonar combo. A second one is optional and fills up the dash with a high-end look and feel. For stereo we include a Garmin Fusion Apollo 670 with eight JL Audio and three speakers. The boat we are on today has the ultra premium upgrade which includes the Fusion Apollo 770, JL Audio and VI amplifiers with built-in DSP and the top of the line JL Audio and six speakers. Additional features include tilt helm with a sportsman steering wheel, electrotab 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 be found at the bottom of the footrest. 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 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 obstruction-free installation. Six speakers perfectly positioned for delivering high fidelity to all of those on board, spreader lights for those early mornings and late night trips and 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 boasters. The 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 and we also offer just a track in case you already own a cooler. For additional tackle storage you can also opt in for the under-leaning post tackle storage. The frame also includes rod holders across the back and grab handles for safety. Let's move our attention to the gonals where you'll find the molded in rod racks for storage of up to three rods on each side. To protect the reels we also include standard reel pads over the top flush mounted Gemlux rod holders. For added comfort when fishing cockpit bolster cushions they provide a soft cushion to push your knees and legs into when reaching into the water or fighting a fish. A strategic area we focused on while designing the 247 was the rear deck area. 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 wheels. These live wheels 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. This model comes standard with raw water wash down and the outlet is located under the gunnel cap. One important safety feature built into the Masters 247 bay boat is the self-bailing cockpit. This allows any water on the deck to drain overboard and not into the bilge area. Since we've removed the splash well the boat is equipped standard with a six 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 a 250 or 300 horsepower including Yamaha's new integrated steering F300. To re-board the boat a telescoping three-step ladder with a swim platform. For your night cruising we include a pair of blue Lumitech underwater lights. The cockpit is also nicely lit with the interior LED lighting package. The fully redesigned Masters 247 bay boat takes the 247 the market has grown to love over the years and adds features that make your experience on the water even more enjoyable. Whether you're looking to fish or take the family to the sandbar this boat packs all of the amenities needed for every occasion.
