2026 Sportsman Masters 247OE Bay Boat

The 2026 Sportsman Masters 247OE is a 24-foot open-console bay boat built on a fiberglass hull with a single 300-horsepower Yamaha gasoline engine. The design balances shallow-water capability with a smooth ride, supported by an advanced fiberglass stringer system with no wood components. A hardtop with integrated D-tubing frame provides weather protection across the full cockpit.

The layout centers on an extended console featuring a comfortable chaise lounge and substantial storage. An open bow design includes a dedicated casting platform with its own livewell, while the main deck holds dual aquarium livewells. Three livewells total—one 15-gallon bow unit and two 25-gallon rear compartments, one with a Pro-Air recirculating system—serve fishing operations. Storage is extensive: a 270-quart bow coffin box, anchor locker, rod racks both under-gunwale and flush-mounted, and dedicated space for trolling motor batteries.

The helm station features integrated electronics including a Garmin GPSMAP 1243xsv 12-inch multifunction display, Apollo RA670 stereo with wireless phone charging, VHF radio, and SeaStar Interact digital switching. A 10-inch hydraulic jack plate and hydraulic tilt steering support varied water conditions. Seating combines premium dual helm chairs with flip-up bolsters and armrests with cockpit bolsters throughout. The 71-gallon fuel tank includes a level sensor, and fresh water and raw-water systems are fitted for washdowns. Stainless fastening, Grip Tex non-skid surfaces, and quality hardware throughout reflect the build standard.
