The iconic top-selling 24′ bay boat — reimagined with a new console, tempered glass windshield and integrated Seakeeper Ride.
The iconic top-selling 24' bay boat — reimagined with a new console, tempered glass windshield and integrated Seakeeper Ride.
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 result is a stunning bay boat that performs as well as it looks. 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 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, seamlessly integrated into the transom and virtually invisible.

Bow
01 / 04
Bow Casting Deck
A large bow deck with all recessed hardware and lids for a spacious casting platform — can also be equipped with cushions for the perfect sunpad area.
Bow Anchor Locker
Stow the anchor in a large dedicated compartment with a molded catch to keep it from falling in, plus a rope cut-out on the lid for neatly storing extra line.
Large Bow Fish Box
The centerpiece of the bow — a large fish box that brings your big catch home or serves as the main cooler for the front of the boat when cruising.
Step Storage Box
The step leading up to the bow doubles as a storage compartment — the perfect spot for extra small gear that needs to be stowed away.
Freshwater Washdown w/ Tank
Standard freshwater washdown with a 13-gallon tank — perfect for rinsing the deck, cleaning up after landing a fish or washing off at the sandbar.
Lockable Bow Rod Storage
Lockable bow storage safely holds up to 10 rods while you’re away — rods insert into plastic guide tubes that prevent banging around underway and help prevent tangling.
Optional Bow Cushions
Optional bow filler cushions transform the casting deck into a comfortable sunpad area.
Bow Storage
Plentiful bow storage — two large lockable rod boxes for up to 10 rods, a large fish box, oversized anchor compartment, plus cup holders and molded grab rails for safety.
Console Front Seat
A comfortable console-front seat with backrest for relaxed cruising.
Trolling Motor Plug & Harness
Pre-wired to accept a trolling motor — an electrical connection inside the anchor hatch sits at the optimal bow-mount location, with the harness routed into the console for the additional batteries and charger.
Bow Toe Rail
Practical and safe — the toe rail lets you feel the edge of the bow without looking, and accents the bow for a pleasing look.
Console Front Livewell
Flip the bottom cushion of the console-front seat to reveal an insulated livewell — convenient for those fishing up front, or fill it with drinks when not in use.
Mid-Ship
02 / 04
SportLink® Electronics Integration
Factory-installed integration of Garmin displays, JL Audio sound, digital switching with a custom GUI and a full NMEA 2000 network — every component pre-wired and engineered to work together from the start.
Console Design & Features
A sleek, modern console with a single-piece extruded d-tubing hard-top frame — removing the frame legs from the deck for more space — plus the iconic Sportsman side window glass and a tempered glass enclosure with a manually actuated vent.
Integrated Tempered Glass Windshield w/ Manual Vent
High-quality tempered glass protects the helm from wind and rain while maintaining excellent airflow — the top section opens manually to let in cool air, and the glass never fades, yellows or deteriorates.
Enclosed Head
Inside the console, a built-in lockable space works as a changing room or for bulky storage — with rear-wall access to electronic connections and fuses, and an optional porta potti.
Large Horizontal Window
A large horizontal window on the starboard side floods the interior with sunlight — the flush glass design allows for the largest possible opening.
Dedicated Trolling Motor Battery Storage
Designated storage inside the console keeps three trolling motor batteries tucked away from the visible console floor.
Boat-in-a-Box 2.0 Rigging System
A clean, easy-to-maintain electrical hub with components mounted on removable boards behind the helm — designed to minimize maintenance and simplify repairs.
Dual Batteries w/ Switch
Two onboard batteries paired with a selector switch conveniently located inside the console — for safety and reliability on the water.
SeaStar Tilt Helm w/ SS Wheel
Over 40 degrees of tilt with 5 lock positions, paired to a high-quality stainless steel Sportsman-branded steering wheel with knob — comfortable ergonomics standing or seated.
Console Top Storage
Over the top of the console, additional padded storage for small items like cell phones, plus USB ports.
Wireless Phone Chargers (2)
Two flush-mounted 10W fast-charging pads with a non-slip surface and IPX6 waterproof seal — the world’s first waterproof wireless charging system built for marine use.
USB Plug In-Dash & 12V Receptacle
Two dedicated USB charging ports operate independently from other systems, and a 12V receptacle is included for cigarette-lighter style accessories.
Compass
A built-in compass provides real-time heading regardless of conditions, and combined with GPS data helps optimize fuel efficiency and safety. An integrated light makes it usable at night.
Console Footrest w/ Pads
Molded-in steps on the console offer a place to put your feet while underway, topped with custom pads featuring the Sportsman logo.
Helm Pod Storage Compartment
Additional storage built into the step under the helm pod gives you ample at-the-helm stowage.
Anti-Fatigue Helm Pad
Custom anti-fatigue helm pads bring all-day comfort — engraved with the Sportsman logo for that extra touch.
Fiberglass Hard-Top w/ Built-In Lighting
An oversized hard-top with every amenity built in while maintaining an elegant, timeless design.
Matching Hard-Top Underside Color
The underside of the hard-top can be matched to the hull color, adding visual appeal and tying the color theme into the cockpit.
Hard-Top D-tubing Frame Structure
The 4-legged frame swoops seamlessly from console to top for immense structural stability. The class-first D-Tubing is bent and extruded from a single piece — not cut and welded.
Hard-Top Molded-In Navigation Lights
Molded-in navigation lights at the front corners of the hard-top stay out of the way and completely unobstructed.
Spreader Lights
Hard-top spreader lights provide deck work lighting for early morning or late-night trips.
Rocket Launchers
Rocket launchers across the back of the hard-top provide ample space for up to five fishing rods.
Kingfish Rod Holders
Hard-top rod holders point straight off the side of the boat, letting you extend your spread further than gunwale-mounted holders — and their height keeps them clear of any deck-rod-holder rods.
Half Tower w/ Second Station
The ultimate upgrade — a half tower with second station that brings premium features, advanced design and unmatched visibility and control for any on-water adventure.
Premium Dual Chair LP w/ Flip-Up Bolsters
A deluxe leaning post that seats two adults comfortably, with individually adjustable bolsters for standing or seated operation, plus rod holders and cooler storage.
Under Leaning Post Space
Space under the leaning post fits a large cooler secured with the included Velcro strap. Optional tackle storage adds plastic trays and a storage bin.
Under Gunwale Folding Rod Racks
Storage for four full-length rods under the gunwales — each rack folds away when not in use and doubles as a great spot for a gaff or net.
Under Gunwale Reel Pads
Pads inside the under-gunwale rod racks prevent damage to reels and protect the fiberglass from scratching in this tight space.
Raw Water Washdown
The perfect companion to the freshwater washdown — pumps outside water to a standard hose outlet with unlimited supply.
Flush Mount Gunwale Rod Holders
Four high-quality Gemlux rod holders flush-mounted on the gunwale — perfect for fishing rods or third-party rod-holder accessories.
Cockpit Bolsters
Soft cushioned cockpit bolsters give you a comfortable surface to push your knees and legs into when reaching into the water or fighting a fish.
Rear Deck
03 / 04
Rear Deck
A large rear deck area with all recessed hardware, cup holders and plenty of casting space.
Twin Aquarium 25-Gallon Livewells
A pair of insulated 25-gallon aquarium livewells — operate them together or separately with the internal pressure selector, and double as drink coolers when needed.
Starboard Pro-Air System
The starboard side livewell adds a Pro-Air Bubbler System to ensure an oxygen-rich source of air on demand.
Rear Fold-Up Bench Seat
Molded-in bench seating for two adults — inboard seating is safer for kids than traditional outboard jump seats, and the single center cushion gives superior access to the bilge.
Rear Total Access Hatch
Large, easy-to-access storage for life jackets, extra anchor, safety equipment or scuba gear — and best-in-class access to essential pumps and seacocks when empty.
10" Jack Plate
All-in-one 10″ setback jack plate in anodized aluminum — higher top speed, fuel economy gains and the ability to run in shallow water. Required for the transom design of this model.
Swim Platform w/ 3-Step Ladder
Board easily from the port side via a 3-step ladder that stows recessed into the swim platform, with grab rails on either side for ease of boarding.
Underwater Lights
Two transom-mounted Lumitec LED underwater lights in anodized aluminum housings put nearly 900 lumens of blue glow behind your Sportsman.
