Skeeter SX240 Bay Boats For Sale

The Skeeter SX240 is a 24-foot-1-inch saltwater bay boat built by Skeeter, the long-established builder owned by Yamaha, and much of its design carries over from the company's freshwater fishing heritage. It runs a 101-inch beam, holds 75 gallons of fuel, and drafts in 15 inches of water, with a lower freeboard than many rivals that cuts windage so the hull is easier to push with a trolling motor and can work shallower flats. The hull stays tight coming off offshore waves, with hinges and hatches fitting closely enough that nothing rattles. Anyone shopping the Skeeter 24 bay boat for sale will find a platform set up for hardcore fishing that still doubles as a family boat, and used Skeeter bay boats turn up regularly through dealers in coastal markets including Texas.

Power comes from a Yamaha F300 four-stroke, with later model years offering Yamaha's EX-series motor and digital electronic shift that runs by wire with no mechanical cables back to the engine. The transom can be fitted with a 12-inch hydraulic jack plate, controlled from a helm switch, that raises and lowers the motor vertically for getting on and off shallow flats. Bennett trim tabs are an option, as are Power-Pole shallow-water anchors in single 10-foot, single 8-foot, or dual-blade configurations. The transom mounts either an Omni swim platform or a Skeeter fiberglass swim platform, and an aluminum plate molded into the stern stiffens the structure and supports the motor.

The helm carries an oversized electronics panel sized for a 12-inch display, with Yamaha multifunction gauges, a jack plate gauge, a lighted switch panel, tilt steering, and a Fusion stereo driving 6.5-inch speakers. The two-piece console design leaves a toe kick at the base and is narrow enough for two people to pass at the same time, and a fold-down access panel opens the interior to the battery switch, fuse box, battery charger, and wiring. A 14-gallon forward bait well with an acrylic lid sits ahead of the console, and four rod holders flank each side. A factory T-top is offered, and a second helm station mounted on the top gives a raised vantage for sight-fishing the flats; on a 24-foot boat this is about the smallest hull that suits a top this tall. Aftermarket T-top canvas and covers for the SX240 are available for owners who want to protect the rigging.

Storage and fishing features run the length of the boat. Up front, a removable roto-molded anchor box lifts out for access to the bilge and trolling motor rigging, with an aluminum mounting plate that bolts the trolling motor down tight. The bow holds a long insulated rod locker on one side, an insulated fish box with an overboard drain on the other, a center cast-net or tackle locker, a dedicated life-jacket compartment, and a forward cooler, all lined with the same roto-molded plastic used in premium coolers so dropped weights and pliers won't chip the gelcoat. Compression latches pull the lids onto a gasket seal to keep contents dry. An Engel cooler is included standard.

Aft, the boat carries a large rear casting deck, flip-up jump seats with dry storage beneath, and two rear storage boxes deep enough to hold a five-gallon bucket. A 40-gallon livewell sits in the stern, with a large bilge access area so pumps, filters, and seacocks can be reached and swapped without contortion. A deluxe leaning post offers adjustable, fold-down bolster seats with a footrest, and an optional comfort console adds a curtain for changing or a porta-potty plus easy access to electronics and trolling-motor batteries. Forward and stand-up livewell options are available for anglers running large amounts of live bait. Every SX240 is backed by a limited lifetime structural warranty and a three-year component warranty, with stainless steel hardware throughout to resist saltwater corrosion.
