2006 Champion 24 Bay Champ – The "Gold Standard" of Big Water Bay Boats
Ask any serious tournament angler or coastal guide about the Champion 24 Bay Champ, and they’ll tell you the same thing: they don't build them like this anymore.
I’ve spent twenty years on the docks, and few hulls command as much respect as this one. Built during the "Genmar era," this 2006 model represents the pinnacle of Champion’s legendary ride. It’s a boat designed for the person who wants to fish the skinny water at sunrise but isn't afraid to cross a choppy bay when the afternoon winds kick up.
The Legendary "Champion Ride"
The magic of the 24 Bay Champ is in the hull. Utilizing Champion’s signature deep-V entry and flared bow, this boat eats a 2-foot chop for breakfast. While other bay boats are "teeth-rattlers" in open water, the 24 Bay Champ remains dry, stable, and incredibly soft-landing. It tracks like it’s on rails.
Key Specifications & Features
• Length: 23' 8"
• Beam: 8' 6" (Stable fishing platform)
• Draft: Approx. 14" (Access to those back-lake reds)
• Fuel Capacity: 80 Gallons (True offshore range)
• Construction: Performance-minded composite layup—solid, heavy, and built to last.
Fishing Amenities
This isn't just a cruiser; it’s a tactical fishing machine.
• Massive Casting Decks: Huge unobstructed platforms at the bow and stern.
• Abundant Storage: Dedicated rod lockers that actually fit long saltwater setups, plus oversized dry storage for all your gear.
• Livewell System: High-volume aerated wells to keep your bait lively all day in the heat.
• Self-Bailing Cockpit: Easy cleanup and peace of mind in heavy weather.
Broker’s Notes
The 2006 24 Bay Champ is a "forever boat." It’s a favorite for repowering because the hull integrity is simply superior to many modern mass-produced options. Whether you’re chasing stripers in the Northeast, tarpon in the Keys, or trout in the Gulf, this hull provides a level of confidence that is hard to find at this price point.
Don’t wait on this one. These hulls have a cult following, and when a clean 24-footer hits the market, it doesn't stay long.
