2026 Sportsman Masters 227 Bay Boat

The 2026 Sportsman Masters 227 is a 22-foot center console designed to handle both fishing and family cruising on shallow Bay waters without compromise. Powered by a single Yamaha 250-hp engine, it combines a 15° deadrise hull with a hydraulic jack plate and Seakeeper Ride system to deliver smooth handling across chop while maintaining draft shallow enough for local flats and hard-bottom areas. The boat seats eight and carries dual 25-gallon rear livewells with recirculation, large bow and rear casting decks, and rod storage throughout—built for serious fishing in the morning and comfortable cruising in the afternoon.

The helm features a Garmin 12-inch multifunction display, VHF radio, and digital switching for straightforward system control. Premium dual helm chairs with armrests and flip-up bolsters support longer runs, while a rear fold-up bench seat adapts the cockpit layout as needed. Integrated wireless charging and USB ports keep devices powered, and a hardtop with tempered glass windshield provides weather protection and integrated lighting.

Practical amenities include raw and freshwater washdowns for cleanup, a self-bailing cockpit with non-skid surfaces, and a swim platform with three-step ladder. Storage is distributed throughout the boat to keep gear organized and accessible. The fiberglass hull and premium marine upholstery are built for durability in Florida conditions. Fuel capacity is 70 gallons total, with a freshwater tank of 13 gallons.
