The Purebay 2400 has plentiful seating from bow to aft. Starting at the nose, there is the option for an additional fold down fishing chair that is easy to attach and remove via the base plate built into the front deck. Then, there is a livewell seat with backrest built into the center console that has additional storage and access to the console wiring via the back cushion. At the helm itself is a double bolster lean post and behind them in the aft deck are two folding seats that can easily convert between comfortable seating and a stable casting platform.

This video shows off the gray seat fabric option, but these seats can also come in tan and white. Learn more about what the 2400 Purebay has to offer by contacting our team of bay fishing boat experts!
