2026 Sportsman Masters 267 Bay Boat

The 2026 Sportsman Masters 267 is a 26' 7" bay boat built on a fiberglass hull with an advanced stringer system and no wood core—a construction choice that reduces long-term structural concerns. Powered by a single Yamaha XF450 with 450 horsepower, it delivers strong acceleration and simple maintenance while a 116-gallon fuel tank supports long inshore and nearshore days. The 9' 2" beam and stable platform reduce the constant repositioning typical of smaller bay boats, especially in building wind or choppy cross conditions.

Navigation and trim control center on dual 12-inch Garmin GPSMAP 1243xsv displays paired with a Garmin GT15M 600-watt CHIRP transducer for clear charting and bottom detail. SeaStar Interact digital switching simplifies system management, while Seakeeper Ride VACS automatically adjusts trim and running attitude to improve forward visibility and balance. A Garmin Apollo RA770 stereo with JL Audio speakers and MVi amplifiers handles audio underway.

Fishing is the design priority. The large bow casting deck locks up to 10 rods, while four livewells—a 14-gallon bow well with Pro-Air, a 35-gallon rear center well, and dual 21-gallon rear wells—allow bait separation and flow management during tournament use. A 6-inch hydraulic jack plate enables shallow-water access on flats. Multiple rod racks and reel pads keep decks clear, and a large bow fish box handles serious catches.

When fishing is done, dual premium helm chairs, removable bow backrests with cushions, and rear fold-up bench seating convert the deck for family use. A 25-gallon freshwater tank with washdown simplifies cleanup, and a YETI Tundra 65-quart cooler with pad provides insulated storage. A swim platform with 3-step ladder and self-bailing cockpit round out the package. The boat carries Yacht and NMMA certification and a 10-year hull warranty.
