2000 Grady-White Advance 247

The 2000 Grady-White Advance 247 is a center console built on the SeaV2 hull design with two 300-horsepower Yamaha outboards. The boat carries a cruising speed of 43 knots and measures 24.75 feet in length with an 8.5-foot beam. Construction is solid fiberglass throughout.

The cockpit spans 62 square feet and centers on a molded-in livewell positioned to allow access from both corners for fishing work. Forward are raised casting platforms with cushions. The helm features lockable electronics storage, a windshield with handrails, and cushioned deluxe seating that accommodates rod holders for up to four additional rods. Two 120-quart insulated fish boxes sit forward; the portside box divides into a main section and a smaller recessed area for beverages. Six rods store horizontally on standard racks.

The console houses an enclosed and ventilated head accessed through the starboard door. A cockpit shower draws from a 20-gallon water tank. The integrated outboard mounting system doubles as a swim platform fitted with a ladder, and a transom door provides easy entry and exit to the cockpit. Storage includes a molded-in anchor locker with dedicated rope space and a locker beneath the console footrest. Ample horizontal storage racks complete the arrangement.
