2026 Sportsman Masters 247 Bay Boat

The 2026 Sportsman Masters 247 is a redesigned 24-foot bay boat built on a fiberglass hull and powered by a Yamaha F350XSA2 4-stroke outboard delivering 350 horsepower. The redesign prioritizes open cockpit space behind the leaning post, incorporates d-tubing on the console, and features a tempered glass windshield. The shallow-water hull is engineered for smooth performance, achieving 57 mph top speed and planing in 4.3 seconds.

The boat accommodates up to 10 people across comfortable seating throughout the deck. A large bow casting platform includes lockable rod storage, while dual aquarium livewells—one 25-gallon recirculating unit with pro-air system and one 25-gallon rear livewell, plus a 17-gallon front livewell—support serious fishing. Additional features include a 13-gallon freshwater tank with washdown, raw water washdown capability, and a 71-gallon fuel tank.

Standard equipment spans SeaStar Interact digital switching, SportLink electronics integration, Seakeeper Ride VACS, Garmin VHF 115 radio, a 10-inch hydraulic jack plate, and a Garmin GPSMAP 1243xsv 12-inch touchscreen display. Class-leading bilge access and lockable rod storage round out the functional design.

An Amera-Trail premium trailer upgrade is included with the boat.
