2026 Sportsman Masters 247 Bay Boat

This 2026 Sportsman Masters 247 is a 24-foot fiberglass bay boat powered by a single 300-horsepower Yamaha engine. The redesign of this top-selling model prioritizes functional deck space and fishability, with an expanded cockpit layout behind the leaning post, a reconfigured console with d-tubing capability, and a tempered glass windshield.

The boat accommodates up to 10 people across multiple seating areas. The bow features a dedicated casting deck with lockable rod storage, while the main deck includes dual aquarium livewells for live bait management. Additional storage and amenities are built throughout the layout, with best-in-class bilge access for maintenance.

A standout feature is the integrated Seakeeper Ride System—a first-of-its-kind built-in pocket design that uses actuators and stabilization technology to smooth the ride in any sea condition. The system is incorporated directly into the transom and hull design, remaining virtually invisible while delivering improved comfort and stability.

The shallow-water hull design pairs with the stabilization system to create both capability and comfort for bay fishing. Various factory options are available, including additional battery charging, chartplotters, tackle storage configurations, and bow sundeck upgrades.
