Are you trying to find the best bay boat for the money? If so, you may want to strongly consider taking a look at the Sportsman Masters 247, easily one of the best all-around bay boats we've ever reviewed here at Salt Water Fishing University.
And in this video, we'll look at:
-Who is the Masters 247 for, but also, who is it not a good fit for?
-What are the unique features that make the 247 such an appealing bay boat that can act as an amazing crossover.
-How much does a Sportsman 247 cost, and what you can generally expect to spend on a new model.

Beautiful boat. Extremely well designed. But for $100k I would be looking for a 26 foot open design that can go offshore.

Definitely better than 2 MPG at cruise. I took mine 17 miles offshore yesterday and at 32 MPH I was getting 2.6 MPG with the tabs down a bit.

Defiantly! I looked at bay boats several times for 8 months prior to purchasing, looked at Ranger bay 2510, Avenger 24 & 26, Sea Hunt, Sea Pro 24 and Sportsman 247. I was seeing some on lots at the coast but never been in the water, with rusting and/or corroding hardware. Close attention to fit, finish and accessibility for maintenance. I kept going back to Sportsman 247 for the quality. The access in bilge is probably one of the best on the market in a bay boat. Every hatch hinge, latch and rods holders are Gemlux (best on the market). I purchased a 2019 Sportsman 247 Platinum with Yamaha 300, what a nice boat! Got caught in bad weather a few times and it handled rough conditions like a champ, very safe and dry. Also quiet, no hull slap in rough water. Then a tornado came over our house and laid 2 large trees down on it, one behind the T-top and one in front of T-top, landed so hard it twisted the trailer. The insurance company totaled it out but the adjuster said he couldn't believe how well built that boat was, said others he had with trees on them completely cut through the gunwales, mine didn't. Due to the covid, demand and empty lots I had to wait and do a lot of searching but I found a new 2022 Sportsman in Jan. I priced having one built but very few dealers had allocations for a 247 for this year, the ones that did said they would not go into production until last month (July), with a couple price increases on top of quoted price. Unless a amazing bay boat comes along, don't think I will have anything other than a Sportsman! By the way, Sportsman customer service! The helm pad started to peel up on the corner on first Sportsman after 16 months of ownership. I emailed Sportsman with a photo asking where I could buy another helm pad. He told me to send hull ID# and verify my address, there was a new helm pad on my porch the next day, overnight shipping. Prior to purchasing my current Sportsman, I emailed them questions about a couple accessories and the Garmin electronics, their marketing guy answered my email within minutes.

Could be the perfect fishing boat for in and coastal shore if a tackel station was an option! The cc’s Sportsman boats have them as an option. Many types would fit under the leaning post. I think Sportsman is short sighted and selling the boat utility short. It can be done easily. How about trying to give Boat Outfitters some dimensions and guidelines and they could make it happen. I guess that is what I will have to do after my 247 is built! Unless I cancel it.

Yep, always a give and take when it comes to design and functionality Johnny. Thanks for stopping by!

The tackle station is an option under the captains chairs. Mine, which I’m picking up on Thursday has it.

@@DrifterBlog There is a little 2 door one but it won’t hold what I use. They wont install a full size one. Just a slide out cooler which I don’t need.
