As fishing enthusiasts, we're always eager to get a look at the latest offerings in fiberglass fish boats. One model that caught our eye this year is the 2024 Sportsman Boat Masters Series Masters 247 Bay. This boat is not just any run-of-the-mill fishing vessel; it is a sophisticated, high-tech beast of a vessel that offers an unrivaled fishing experience.
The first thing one notices is the abundance of high-end electronics. The SportsLink Electronics Integration System provides seamless connectivity, while the Garmin GPSMAP 1243xsv MFD 12" with Bluechart G3, Garmin GT12M 350w CHIRP Bronze Thru-Hull Transducer and Garmin VHF 115 Radio with Antenna ensure you'll never lose your way at sea. The sound system, an impressive Garmin Apollo RA670 Premium Stereo with SportsTuun, is ready to pump out your favorite tunes while you reel in the big one. Eight marine speakers and an Interior LED Lighting Package round out the sensory spectacle.
The seating and upholstery department leaves no stone unturned in offering comfort. The cockpit even features premium Sileather Marine Silicone Fabrics, and the dual seat design with flip-up bolsters and armrests offer a luxurious onboard experience. The console footrest is complemented with storage and pads whilst a rear fold-up bench seat opens up to reveal more storage.
The Sportsman Boat Masters Series Masters 247, demonstrating a deep understanding of serious fishing aficionados, offers multiple livewells and aquariums. The standout is the 17-gallon livewell situated right at the front seat of the console, closely followed by a 25-gallon rear livewell with a circulating system and inbuilt Pro-Air. Couple that with a variety of high-speed livewell pickup, raw water washdown and capacious storage areas – we're talking about a proper fishing beast.
Design-wise, the boat measures 24'4" in length, with a 8'5" beam, weighing approximately 3,100 lbs. It has a maximum horsepower of 400 and a fuel tank capacity of 71 gallons, adding to the features that make this boat a fantastic choice for serious anglers.
Indeed, the Sportsman Boat Masters Series Masters 247 Bay 2024 is an impressive vessel. While the manufacturer's suggested retail price stands just over $100,000, the value-for-money is undeniable for the discerning professional or enthusiastic sport fisher. It’s not just a boat; it's a spectacular fusion of technology, comfort, functionality, and style.

When our family wanted to purchase our first boat we tried to find information for research. However the only information available at that time was sales brochures. All of the product information originated from the manufactures. The only price we could find was the retail price listings or MSRP (Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price). Magazines featured articles, and had really great photo layouts, it only offered product description and the (MSRP) retail price.
We went to the dealership where the sales guy held all the cards. The best thing he had going for him was our lack of information. We tried to wrangle on price without any real success. We bought the boat, but we paid too much. After that experience we felt there had to be a better way.
So we started this website because we did not want anyone else to feel disadvantaged like our family did that day. We discussed what we would like to see. We found experts in their fields and started asking questions. We then put together a team to research products and most importantly the dealer price. We started with boats and realized that there was a great need for information on many kinds of large purchase recreational vehicles and products.
Look when you visit a dealership for a boat, motorcycle or camper, if you have not done your research your negotiation for that item will start with the Manufactures Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The highest price you could pay. The sales person will try to see what you know and size you up. If you do not have product knowledge including what the cost was to the dealer – you are going to pay too much.
See Dealer Cost™ offers product information that is in-depth and understandable. You can build your ideal product on line and see what it cost before you walk into a dealership. See Dealer Cost™ gives you the product options and most importantly the cost without the pressure of someone trying to talk you into something.
Knowledge is power.
After you find the product you want on See Dealer Cost™ and configure the options. You can save it to view or reference later. You can also print out what you put together (with the price). In turn you can use this information to negotiate your best deal.
What if the item is used? We are making available all the information we have gathered over the years so you can research to see the original cost. Even on used items you can use our site to negotiate your best deal.
Our passion here at See Dealer Cost™ is to give people power and knowledge. We were at a disadvantage once and we did not like the feeling.
By the way this great idea we had to build a website with this information. We had to fight to be able to bring this information to you. See Dealer Cost™ was supposed to be a one hit wonder. The manufactures magazines that they send to dealers said we would be dead in no time. They pounded their fists on their desks and said the consumer did not want or need this information. They said we would put them out of business. We were sued multiple times by manufacturers for this information. We are still here.
Why would they not want you to be able to see and use this information? They were afraid that you the consumer would be the true winner.
As it turns out – this information has not put anyone out of business. A consumer who is knowledgeable is confident buyer.
So we continue on with our team of experienced and expert people. We constantly update product lines and most importantly the cost so you have information to make your best deal.
We are proud of the team and proud to be able to assist you in your recreational purchase. We do not sell any of the items listed – we just gather the information.
The products include thousands of boats, motors, campers, motorcycles and more. We are constantly working to expand the information we present for you.
We all have families. We hope your buying experience is a better one than our family’s first purchase. Use this website to be a knowledgeable more confident buyer.
We hope we are a valuable resource for you. Enjoy your purchase.
Thanks,
See Dealer Cost™ Team Members
