All I Need to Know About a 2014 Blue Wave 2400 Pure Bay

June 10, 2021

Let's take a look at the Blue Wave 2400 PureBay in this Florida Sportsman boat review

The Blue Wave 2400 PureBay hull design is meant to handle marginal sea conditions and does so with ease while providing a dry, comfortable ride.

Our test day on the 2400 PureBay 2400 made it quickly apparent why water tests convert so consistently into sales with this model from Blue Wave. The combination of space allotted to each feature below deck combined with the working surface to stand on is perfectly balanced on the 2400.

A pair of insulated fish boxes forward and a third wet box line up in the center deck. To port and starboard a pair of lockable rod lockers offer plenty of dry storage. A 36V trolling motor on a quick release bracket sits on a new integrated pad alongside the anchor hatch. The rear casting deck features a pair of flip-up seats with tackle storage beneath and two storage compartments on the outward edges. A large center release well across the center uses a 3-inch drain to evacuate your baits overboard and a clever magnetic shield that is easily removed from the inlet ports to remove any debris. A second livewell with a clear view panel is also located under the front console seat. Among some notable upgrades for 2021 is a newly styled console with a taller profile creating more space for electronics and all digital gauges. Behind the wheel, the helm station is available in multiple configurations with either drink coolers or an extra baitwell below.

Taking the deck layout and features out of the equation, no deal is ever closed on a boat if the ride doesn't deliver. The 2400 PureBay offered performance that would be hard to top in a bay boat this size. She comes up on plane instantly with 300-HP, provided a comfortable ride in some very choppy conditions, and ate every large yacht wake I could find for breakfast. Additionally, with the 300 power option she delivers 4 MPG at 34-MPH cruising and a remarkable 2.28 MPG at her top speed of 60-MPH.

The fact that this model is so popular in the gulf coast states does not surprise me at all. The fact that the 2400 has been kept a secret from Florida anglers for the most part does. After a day aboard our test model I'd imagine this won't be for long.

A three-tier deck design affords plenty of space to navigate around the foredeck with ease.

The space beneath the forward decks offers numerous storage options from dry storage and a wet locker to insulated fish boxes.

Stackable rod storage is available under a pair forward secure lockers.

This forward live well features a glass viewing panel to regulate light levels inside and keep baits calm.

A tilt out compartment in the backrest provides another dry spot to stash incidentals such as shoes or a camera.

- The newly designed console on the 2400 Pure Bay adds height to accommodate a larger electronics display.

The overhead hardtop features a pair of storage boxes and a convenient wireless phone charger.

The helm station is offered in multiple configurations from livewell/tackle station to a simple clean cooler design as seen here.

The rear casting deck on the Blue Wave is clutter free for fly fishing with toe-kick to catch your fly line in the wind.

The main live well at center features a large 3-inch drain to evacuate debris and tough to catch baits overboard.

A pair of convertible jump seats feature padded fold away arm rests and deluxe upholstery.

Overhead rod holders can be used for storage or to deploy a pair of trolled lines.

A stake anchor and integrated boarding ladder make it easy to pull up to a flat and step over for a few casts.
