Meet the 24B
Light enough to pole. Tough enough for the inlet.
The 24B puts a tournament-grade fishing platform in a hull light enough to pole the skinny water and tough enough to run the inlet. At 23 feet 8 inches with an 8’8" beam, it carries up to 400 HP, holds 69 gallons of fuel, and drafts 13 inches with the engine up.
The 65 sq ft forward casting deck comes with a 15-gallon bow livewell and a 55-gallon leaning post livewell for keeping species apart. Hand-laid Kevlar below the waterline, carbon fiber above, and zero wood anywhere. At 2,500 lbs dry, it’s one of the lightest boats in its class.

Owners
In their own words
“Well built and rides very good in a chop. I was impressed at the fishability and stability.
Lucas M., 28H
“We towed her behind our larger vessel to the Bahamas in March, breaking 8 ft plus waves the whole way. Rinsed her off and enjoyed her for two weeks. Not a single issue.
David K., Fort Lauderdale
“I sure do love my Canyon Bay. She is perfect for my smallmouth and striper charters in Tennessee.
Daniel K., 24B
