Sistership Photos
These photos are from our first Weldcraft 260 Ocean King "Great Lakes Edition". This incoming stock boat coming in November will have the new option of the Cuddy and Frameless Bonded Windows (front and side windows). The Cuddy will be forward of the helm and will have a locking door, large overhead hatch and storage for fishing gear. The helm will also be larger. This will be the first one built so there are no photos available at this time. This option will also be available on the 240 Ocean King. Once received we plan to install our custom dealer "Great Lakes Edition" and hope to debut her at a few winter boat shows.
Please give us a call to learn more or to set up an appointment to view her!
This new 2027 Weldcraft 260 Ocean King will also be loaded with factory options, new 2026 updates and powered by a Yamaha F350XSA2 White outboard engine with Digital Electronic Controls with the new Variable Speed Control option which allows you to troll below idle speed. She also has a T25XWTC2 White high thrust kicker motor.
Pricing includes ALL listed options, customs, freight from Clarkston, WA to Grand Haven, MI (2010 miles each way), on the full specifications page except the Integrity aluminum trailer which is sold separately for $18,110.
We are excited to represent these excellent heavy gauge welded aluminum fishing boats to the Great Lakes and Midwest. Weldcraft builds many different models from 18' - 34'. We feel these boats are perfectly suited for our waters given their ability to handle heavy seas, durability, and optional partial and full hardtops.
TO REAP MAXIMUM FISHING DIVIDENDS,
THERE'S NEVER BEEN A BETTER TIME TO INVEST IN ALUMINUM.
All over North America big water fisheries are producing premium fishing opportunities. Weldcraft's Ocean King series is designed to make short work of big-water chop, with an aggressively upswept bow that sheds splashes and tames the fish-filled seas. All the while, you'll be riding in the security and comfort of a fully enclosed Alaskan Bulkhead hardtop. For sure and stable handling that provides an uncommonly gentle ride, there's the combination of the upswept bow and a 32° bow entry that transitions to an 18° transom deadrise. The Ocean King represents full-featured, all-welded, handcrafted excellence. Its forward-thinking engineering includes an Outback outboard bracket, driver and passenger mariner suspension seats, a transom bait box and cutting board, a pair of bench-to-bed storage seats with a sleeper insert, and dual bilge pumps - for starters. When it comes to prime angling, timing is everything. So take advantage today of the Ocean King's memory-making opportunities, tailored to big-water catches in 22', 24' and 26' lengths.
Flexible Cabin Layout.
You know how and where you'll use your Ocean King best. We know how to customize it to exceed your expectations. We work hand-in-hand with our dealers to plan the features and optional accessories that will help create the perfect fishing, living and cruising space for you. Everything from marine heads, to reversible dinettes, to cook stations and seating variations, is available.
New Upswept Bow.
The Ocean King was radically redesigned with an aggressive upswept bow to provide the utmost in seaworthiness. Wherever you are, if the wind whips up and waves rise as a result, the Ocean King will get you home safely. Its 32º bow deadrise swiftly makes short work of big water.
