2024 Sea Pro 172 Bay

The 172 Bay keeps things light and nimble, so it jumps on plane quickly and sips fuel, even when loaded with gear and a couple of friends. The wide beam gives you a steady casting platform, and those raised fore and aft decks mean fewer tangled lines and more clean shots at fish. Inside, you’ll find smart touches like dedicated rod storage, non-skid underfoot, and plenty of insulated compartments that can pull double duty as livewells or drink coolers. The helm layout is simple and uncluttered, with room to flush-mount your electronics so everything stays protected and easy to read when the chop picks up.

Shallow flats, winding creeks, and choppy open stretches all play to the strengths of the 2024 Sea Pro 172 Bay. Its modest draft lets you slide across skinny water to reach quiet coves and oyster bars where bigger hulls can’t follow. The hull design softens the ride when afternoon winds stack up the waves, while the stable platform keeps anglers confident when everyone shifts to one side chasing a fish. Easy to tow and launch at smaller ramps, it suits local owners who split time between quick solo missions before work and relaxed family sandbar runs on the weekend.
