2026 Masters 247 Bay Boat - Digital Catalog

Masters 247 Bay Boat

The iconic top-selling 24' bay boat. Reimagined.

The design team had lofty goals when tasked with reimagining the top-selling Masters 247. The redesign focused on opening up more cockpit space behind the leaning post, redesigning the console to accommodate d-tubing and incorporating a tempered glass windshield, along with other minor improvements. The results are a stunning bay boat that performs as well as it looks. This top-selling 24' bay boat is miles ahead of its time and ready for serious fishing. The deck features dual aquarium livewells, a large bow casting deck with lockable rod storage, plenty of comfortable seating for up to 10 people, best-in-class bilge access and much more. All of this is paired with a very capable hull designed for shallow water and a smooth ride. The Masters 247 now features the revolutionary Seakeeper Ride System in a first-of-its-kind built-in pocket design. This system uses actuators and stabilization technology to improve the ride quality in any condition, providing a smoother and more comfortable ride for all onboard. The Seakeeper Ride system is seamlessly integrated into the boat's transom design, making it virtually invisible. With this cutting-edge feature, the Masters 247 sets a new standard for bay boats and offers a level of comfort and stability that was previously unheard of in its class.

Console Front Livewell

Flip the bottom cushion of the console-front seat to reveal an insulated livewell. Conveniently located for those fishing up front and for those days you are not fishing, fill it with drinks or use it as storage.

Console Design & Features

The console of this boat is a highlight of its design, featuring a sleek and modern look that follows the Sportsman design language, as well as several innovative features that enhance both form and function. It boasts a designed-in d-tubing hard-top frame that is extruded from a single piece of aluminum. This design removes the frame legs from the deck, giving you more space around the console and a robust frame structure. Additionally, it yields more space inside the head. The starboard side of the console features the iconic Sportsman side window glass, which floods the interior space with light. The console is wrapped with a tempered glass enclosure that includes a manually actuated vent.

Integrated Tempered Glass Windshield w/ Manual Vent

Made out of high-quality tempered glass, the integrated windshield protects the helm of excessive wind and rain while maintaining excellent air flow. The top section opens up manually to let in cool air. The glass is extremely easy to clean and will never fade, yellow or deteriorate.

Fiberglass Hard-Top w/ Built-In Lighting

One of the first things you’ll notice when you look at this model is the over-sized hard-top. This top has all of the amenities you would want built in while still maintaining an elegant and timeless design.

Matching Hard-Top Underside Color

A popular trend is to have the underside of the hard-top matched to the hull color, this adds additional appeal and ties in the color theme of the boat sides by bringing additional color to the cockpit area.

Hard-Top D-tubing Frame Structure

The 4-legged frame swoops seamlessly from the console up to the top and the design gives it immense structural stability. The class-first D-Tubing structure is not cut and welded as typically done, but rather it is bent and extruded out of a single piece of D-Tubing.

Hard-Top Molded-In Navigation Lights

When the sun goes down, molded in navigation lights can be found at the front corners of the hard-top. This location keeps them out of the way and completely unobstructed.

Premium Dual Chair LP w/ Flip Up Bolsters

Comfort and function meet when it comes to this deluxe leaning post. It is designed to accommodate two adults comfortably and features individually adjustable bolsters allowing you to operate your Sportsman standing up or in a seating position. Additional features include rod holders and cooler storage space with a strap.

Under Gunwale Folding Rod Racks

Storage for 4 rods is possible with the under gunwale rod racks. Each can accommodate a full length rod and doubles as a great place to store a gaff or net. For your convenience the racks fold away when not in use.

Rear Deck

Twin Aquarium 25-Gallon Livewells

Starboard Pro-Air System

Same size as the port side livewell, the starboard side also features a Pro-Air Bubbler System to ensure your livewell has an oxygen-rich source of air on demand.

Rear Fold Up Bench Seat

Molded-in bench seating accommodate up to two adults comfortably. The inboard seating is safer for the little ones than traditional outboard jump seats and the bigger single center cushion, gives you superior access to the bilge.

Rear Total Access Hatch
