2026 Sportsman Masters 267 Bay Boat

A bay boat designed to help experienced anglers cover more water, manage multiple bait setups, and run comfortably across Tampa Bay without sacrificing shallow-water capability.

Many bay boat owners eventually feel the limits of smaller platforms-restricted bait capacity, crowded decks, or a range that forces the day to stay close to home. The Sportsman Masters 267 expands what a bay boat can do by adding deck space, livewell capacity, and running comfort while keeping the open casting layout serious anglers rely on around St. Pete, Clearwater, and Sarasota.

At the helm, dual Garmin GPSMAP 1243xsv displays, integrated VHF communication, and the SportLink® electronics integration system bring navigation, sonar, and system monitoring into one place. SeaStar digital switching keeps boat controls organized at the helm, while Seakeeper Ride automatic trim control constantly adjusts the boat's running attitude to keep the ride balanced as conditions change across Tampa Bay.

Fishing capability is built around flexibility and bait management. This boat carries four livewells, including a 35-gallon rear center livewell, dual 21-gallon rear livewells, and a 14-gallon bow livewell, allowing anglers to manage multiple bait types during longer fishing days. Large bow and stern casting decks provide space for multiple anglers to move and fish comfortably without interfering with each other.

Range and run capability allow the boat to expand beyond shallow water fishing. With a 450-horsepower rating and 116-gallon fuel capacity, the boat supports longer runs between fishing grounds, coastal exploration, or full days covering water without constant fuel planning.

Comfort remains practical and flexible. Premium helm seating, removable bow seating, and fold-up rear benches allow the deck to shift quickly between a fishing layout and passenger seating when family or guests are aboard.
