2024 ShearWater 250 XTE

The Shearwater 250 XTE is a high-performance hybrid bay boat designed for serious anglers and discerning boaters who expect offshore capability, inshore agility, and uncompromising luxury. At 24'8" in length with a wide 8’6” beam and a 20° deadrise, the 250 XTE offers superior stability, smooth handling, and dry ride performance in virtually any condition—from open bays to backwater flats. Engineered with American Marine Sports' exclusive HPI™ (High Pressure Injection) double-hull process, the 250 XTE features a chemically bonded, Kevlar®-reinforced outer hull fused to a full-length inner liner and injected with closed-cell foam for unmatched strength, buoyancy, and impact resistance. The result: a silent, flex-free, unsinkable structure with a limited lifetime hull warranty.

Step aboard the luxury console outfitted with custom dash panels, JL Audio Media Master, and (4) 7.7” marine speakers, plus push-button switches and an in-console head for comfort on long outings. Plush helm seating with flip-up bolsters, folding armrests, and an integrated baitwell combines ergonomic design with practicality. A custom fiberglass hard top comes loaded with a 6-jet misting system, spreader lights, overhead and docking lights, rod holders, and more.

With a 47-gallon livewell system, twin rod lockers, clear-view baitwell lid, 8 stainless flush rod holders, recirculating aerators, and high-speed pickups, the 250 XTE is tournament ready. Additional features include ShadowCaster blue underwater lighting, fresh and raw water washdowns, 13-gallon freshwater tank, and a self-bailing cockpit for safety and convenience.

Performance enhancements include Bob’s hydraulic jack plate, tilt helm power steering, recessed Lenco trim tabs, dual battery charger, and a stainless prop—all powered by your choice of high-output engines, including the Yamaha 300 or 350 V-6, or Mercury 300 to 400 V-10 options.

Whether you're chasing redfish inshore or running offshore structure, the Shearwater 250 XTE delivers elite-level comfort, cutting-edge design, and relentless performance—backed by one of the most advanced hull systems in the marine industry.
