Owner's Testimonials
Have been an avid boater/fisherman for years & owned many boats. The 247 Masters is the perfect boat for the inshore & nearshore waters of the Lowcountry. Quality, Performance, Value...and one of the best looking & riding boats in its class. The Platinum Package has everything you could need installed properly & designed by Sportsman. When you take delivery you put fuel in it and start boating.

Love the smooth ride. No pounding. Everything is conveniently laid out. I've own many boats over the years. Will retire with the Sportsman 247.
George
Great Boat for fishing and recreation. The Platinum package is a must while adding the trolling motor, jack plate and power pole for your fishing pleasure. The instrument panel is simple and informative. Perfect boat for the waters of Tampa Bay and surrounding areas.

A little more than a year ago, we started researching to purchase a 22-24ft bay boat. After sea trialing just about every other bay boat in this class, we decided on the 247 Platinum and couldn't be more satisfied. Like anything new, there will be small hiccups, but Sportsman has helped us with every small issue that has come up. Every where we go in our 247, we get compliments on it.. If we had brochures to hand out, we could definitely sell some here on the Gulf Coast of Louisiana!!!

David
Recently bought my 247 Masters with the second station and I absolutely love it. Great ride, performance and the fit and finish is top notch. I also looked at other boat brands and ultimately landed on the Sportsman. I’m very satisfied with my purchase and my family loves it as well. Looking forward to making lots of memories on the water.

This has been an absolutely amazing boat in and offshore, a fish slaying machine. We love all of the storage areas, the three live wells and the ease to access anything in the bilge area. The service and parts departments at my local dealer has been nothing short of outstanding. Being a fleet manager myself and having dealt with nearly every local dealership of many types of vehicles and equipment, I am well versed in how things should be run, this dealership knocks it out of the park!

This is my second Sportsman 247. Researched and drove many other manufacturers but came back to Sportsman. Love their boats and product service is second to none. For the second one, I could have went with any other make but for the money you just can’t beat a Sportsman! I highly recommend riding in the competitors and you’ll see the difference.
Tony
After owning a 227 Masters and deciding to move up to the 247, I could not be happier with my decision. The 247 is the perfect boat for me and my family. Great layout, storage, ride, and drive. It rides extremely smooth and is efficient. Sportsman has picked the best partners with Yamaha, Garmin, JL Audio, and Gemlux, which makes the whole package a winning combo!

I just took ownership of a new Sportsman Masters 247 and couldn't be happier.

I have had lots of folks ask if they can walk down the dock to take a look.
Lawrence
Incredibly dry comfortable ride, especially for a bay boat. Prettiest lines of any boat in its class.
