1997–2002

The Grady-White Advance 247 features an integrated outboard mounting system and the exclusive SeaV2 hull. The roomy 62-square-foot cockpit with raised forward casting platforms has two pedestal chairs and a molded-in aft cockpit with livewell. The livewell is centered, allowing access to both corners for fighting, wiring and gaffing fish. The console features a lockable electronics box and ample storage under the console footrest. The ventilated enclosed head is accessed through the console's starboard door. There are two 120-quart insulated fish boxes forward. The integrated outboard mounting system doubles as a swim platform, complete with ladder. A transom door is standard. A cockpit shower is optional. Horizontal storage racks hold six rods. (Manufacturer Provided Description) EDITOR’S NOTES: Cockpit updated in 2000 with an above-deck livewell at the transom. Top speed in the high 40s with twin 150hp Yamahas.
