24 Foot Skeeter Bay Boats For Sale

The 24 foot Skeeter bay boat is built by Skeeter, the Yamaha-owned brand with deep roots in freshwater bass fishing that carries over into its saltwater designs. The line runs from the SX240 through the redesigned SX241 introduced for 2024, with the 2015 SX240 and 2021 SX240 sharing the same core hull. Length is 24 feet 1 inch overall on a 101-inch beam, and the boat drafts in roughly 15 inches of water. The freeboard sits lower than many competing bay boats, which cuts windage, makes the boat easier to push with a trolling motor, and lets it slip into shallower flats. It suits the hardcore tournament angler as readily as a family running out to a sandbar.

Power comes from a Yamaha F-300 four-stroke, an electronic shift-by-wire setup with no mechanical cables to the engine. The hull handles three- to four-foot seas and stays composed in hard turns and slop where other boats back off. Coming off offshore waves it runs tight, with no pounding and no rattling hinges. Buyers shopping a 24 ft Skeeter bay boat for sale will find a 75-gallon fuel capacity, optional Bennett trim tabs, and a 12-inch hydraulic jack plate that raises and lowers the motor vertically to work skinny water without tearing up the bottom.

At the helm, an oversized panel accepts up to a 12-inch depth finder, shown rigged with Simrad electronics, alongside Yamaha gauges, a jack plate gauge, a Fusion radio, and a lighted switch panel; the SX241 swaps that single panel for individual serviceable switches and softer upholstery. The console is deliberately compact two-piece construction with a toe kick, narrow enough for two people to pass at once, topped by a rocket-launcher rod rack and stainless beverage holders. You can climb through the helm opening to reach wiring, the battery switch, and the fuse box. The optional T-top can be fitted with a second station, and at 24 feet this is about the smallest boat where that upper station makes sense for spotting fish on the flats.

A 14-gallon bait well sits at the front of the console and doubles as a forward casting seat, with a matching 35- to 40-gallon live well in the stern molded in plastic to keep bait cooler. The casting platform has two step levels, a long insulated fish box to starboard, a port rod locker that swallows an eight-foot fly rod, and a roto-molded anchor box that lifts out for full access to the bow. Hatches throughout use the same roto-molded insulation found in premium coolers, so dropped weights and Boga grips won't chip them, and the lids seal and drain overboard rather than into the bilge. A structural aluminum plate at the transom is strong enough to lift the entire boat and stiffens the running surface.

The 24 Skeeter bay boat for sale typically rides on a Skeeter-built all-aluminum trailer with 14-inch galvanized wheels and dual disc brakes, upgradable to black aluminum wheels. Options include a Motorguide or Ultrex 112 trolling motor on an aluminum slide, a leaning-post bait well, a raw-water washdown, an Omni or Skeeter fiberglass swim platform, and single, eight- or ten-foot, or dual Power-Pole blades. The 2024 SX241 reworks the stern with a full-width flip-up seat that opens the entire bilge for service and split insulated live wells, giving up to four live wells with the leaning-post option. Every boat is backed by a limited lifetime structural warranty plus a three-year component warranty covering switches, engine, and trailer.
