2026 Sportsman Masters 247 Bay Boat

The 2026 Sportsman Masters 247 is a 24-foot aluminum bay boat built for serious fishing and day cruising. It runs a single Yamaha F250XB 250-horsepower outboard and carries a Garmin Force Kraken 75-inch trolling motor. The boat spans just over 24 feet in length with a beam of 8.4 feet and accommodates up to ten people. A tandem-axle trailer with surge brakes and hydraulic disc brakes is included.

The helm centers on a 12-inch Garmin GPSMAP MFD with integrated navigation and a full Garmin electronics suite: VHF radio, sounder with 350-watt CHIRP transducer, and Apollo premium stereo with Bluetooth. Dual wireless phone chargers mount in the console alongside USB and 12-volt outlets. A Seakeeper Ride Vacs system manages water spray, and hydraulic tilt steering with a stainless steel wheel gives responsive control. A 10-inch hydraulic jack plate adjusts trim.

Seating includes a premium dual helm chair with flip-up bolsters and cockpit bolsters. The console features a footrest with integrated storage, lockable compartments, and a hardtop with built-in navigation lights. An under-leaning-post tackle locker and removable bow backrest with seat cushions complete the layout. A removable cooler slide and guide poles round out the rigging. A five-bank Promariner charger manages the dual battery setup. The boat holds 71 gallons of fuel and weighs 3,968 pounds dry.
