Sportsman Specs: Masters 267OE Bay Boat

The Masters 267OE takes the largest bay boat platform in the lineup and pairs it with a layout designed for anglers and families who want more comfort, security and versatility without giving up performance.

At 26 feet 7 inches in length with a 9 foot 2 inch beam, the 267OE shares the same hull as the Masters 267. That means the same wide footprint, the same stability and the same ability to handle a wide range of conditions from shallow flats to open water runs.

With a 15 inch draft, the boat maintains the shallow water capability expected from a bay boat, allowing you to push into tight areas when needed. At the same time, a 116 gallon fuel capacity with approximately 105 gallons usable gives the 267OE the range to run further, stay out longer and cover more water throughout the day.

The performance of the 267OE is driven by the same balanced hull design found on the 267. A 16 degree deadrise at the transom provides a smoother, more controlled ride through chop while still maintaining efficiency and shallow water performance. Combined with the added size and weight of the platform, the boat feels more planted and confident when conditions begin to build.

Where the 267OE separates itself is in the layout. While the Masters 267 leans into a more traditional bay boat design with a large, elevated bow casting deck built for sight fishing and technical presentations, the 267OE shifts that space into an open bow layout with increased freeboard. This recessed design gives you a more secure and comfortable position forward, especially when running or fishing in rougher conditions, allowing you to stand and move with more confidence.

The most noticeable difference is the forward seating arrangement with the integrated coffin box and chaise-style lounge. This addition changes how the boat is used, creating a space that is just as comfortable for relaxing and cruising as it is functional for fishing. With storage built into these areas, the layout adds usability without sacrificing the clean, open feel of the deck.

That shift in layout is what defines the OE. You give up a portion of the elevated casting deck in exchange for comfort, security and a more versatile forward space, making the boat better suited for long days on the water, family use and mixed activities beyond just fishing.

Underneath it all, the build remains the same. Every Masters 267OE is constructed using Sportsman’s SportTech® advanced fabrication approach, built with 100 percent composite construction and a fully integrated fiberglass stringer system. With no wood in the build, the structure is strong, consistent and designed for long-term durability in the environments the boat is built to perform in.

The full fiberglass stringer system creates a rigid foundation that helps absorb impact and distribute energy throughout the hull, delivering a solid feel underfoot and a more controlled ride across varying conditions. As the size of the platform increases, that structural strength becomes even more important, helping maintain performance and comfort over longer runs.

At the helm, the 267OE integrates the SportLink® electronics system, connecting Garmin electronics, switching and onboard systems into a single interface. This keeps the dash clean while giving you full control and visibility, with navigation, system monitoring and key functions all centralized into an intuitive and easy-to-use layout.

From a fishing standpoint, the boat still delivers. Livewells, rod storage and in-deck storage are positioned to keep everything accessible without interrupting the flow of the boat, while the cockpit and aft deck remain focused on fishability. The forward layout simply adds another layer of comfort and usability without taking away from what the boat is designed to do.

The Masters 267OE takes the capability of the 267 and expands how the boat can be used. It maintains the shallow water access, range and ride quality of the platform while introducing a layout that makes the experience more comfortable, more secure and more versatile for everything from fishing to long days on the water.
