 The Masters series continues to be the popular choice among Bayboat enthusiasts. The boats feature the sportsman design language, legendary ride, and continue to lead the market. For this model year, we've taken an already great platform and added even more features, including a first-of-its-kind SeaKeeper ride pocketed design. In this video, we're bringing you a full detailed walkthrough on the 2024 Masters 267 and 267.0 eBay boats. For specifications, this yacht-certified vessel measures in at 26 feet 7 inches with a 9-foot 2-inch beam, 121 gallons of fuel, 16 degrees of dead-rides at the transom, and a 15-inch draft. The Masters series of boats is built using our preparatory sport-tech advanced fabrication process utilizing composite materials in no wood. This boat comes back with a transferable 10-year haul-limited warranty and is NMMA-certified. This certification ensures that this boat adheres to the highest safety standard guidelines set by the ABYC, bringing you the peace of mind that you are purchasing a high-quality and safe boat for you and your family. For a detailed look at how our boats are built, check out our series behind the glass, where we explore our build process in great detail. To suit your personal style, we offer a range of colors for the hull side, hull bottom, and hardtop underside, as well as standard powder coating in white or black. When it comes to boat materials, quality and durability are essential. That's why we use Si-Leather marine silicone coated fabrics in all of our boats. These fabrics are resistant to UV, salt spray, stain, cold cracking and hydrolysis. Si-Leather fabrics don't contain plasticizers, which can be breeding ground for bacteria. We offer three color options, white, desert tan, or ash gray, and feature our double diamond stitch pattern. The Master's 267 is available in two different layouts, the 267 and the 267-OE. We will be going through each section of the boat and at times compare the two to show you the differences. We're going to start here at the bow of the 267. The 267 has a traditional bayboat casting platform layout with a raised deck, storage, and a large center fish box. This model features a large bow casting deck with all recessed high quality gem luxe hardware for an obstruction-free deck. At the center, you'll find an oversized anchor locker compartment and pull-up cleat. The anchor tray, designed to secure the anchor and prevent it from falling, can be found by opening the compartment lid. Additionally, the notch on the lid allows for easy routing of the anchor rope into the compartment when anchored. When you are out fishing, you'll find the conveniently located 14-gallon live boat makes re-rigging up a breeze. To ensure your bait stays healthy longer, you'll be happy to know that this live boat comes standard with the pro-air bubbler system. The large center insulated fish box is perfect for keeping your catch fresh. It also serves as a versatile storage option with the ability to function as dry storage or a cooler box. After the fish box, a wide step storage box that provides additional storage space for gear such as cast nets or ropes. This box also serves as a convenient step up to the casting deck. Standard on both models is a 13-gallon freshwater tank and a freshwater system that includes a hookup for a hose and fill located inside the step box. Lockable rod storage is designed into both sides of the bow of this boat with lids that opens towards the front for easy access even when the boat is on a lift or a trailer. This model caters to the needs of modern fishermen who use their boat as a family boat. Optional bow seating cushions with backrest as well as a sun pad filler with cushion are available to convert the bow into the perfect place to relax and soak up the sun on hot days. The front side of the console features a two-person seat with a backrest as well as a 17-gallon insulated live well located under the bottom cushion. When not in use as a live well, it can be filled with ice and food or used as dry storage. In contrast, the 267-OE has an extended console chase lounge with storage, more room around the console and is preferred for certain types of on-water activities. At the front, you'll find a designed-in oversize anchor locker with a notch lid as well as trolling motor plug. Located behind the anchor locker is a 36-gallon insulated fishbox that doubles up as dry storage. The molded-in stepbox provides easy access to the casting deck and serves as a storage area. It also houses the fill for the freshwater washdown. On the front side of the console, there is an extended chase lounge with armrest that can comfortably seat two adults. Beneath the lounge is a 270-quart insulated bow coffin box. A recessed wraparound handrail completes this bow's layout. There are some additional features up at the bow that are standard for both models. A tow rail wraps all the way around the bow, providing both stylish accent and a safety feature that helps you feel the edge when you're focused on catching a fish. To make installation easy, this model comes pre-wired to accept a trolling motor with a quick disconnect plug inside the anchor compartment and a harness that runs into the console. Additionally, we provide a tow rail shim for an effortless installation. To wrap things up, we've included speakers, mood lighting and spreader lights at the bow. Whether you're fishing, socializing or just enjoying the view, these features are designed to make your time on the water as enjoyable as possible. The console of this boat is a highlight of its design with a modern and sleek look that follows the sportsman design language, as well as built-in features and amenities to improve form and function. The hardtop frame is built using sturdy detubing that is extruded out of a single piece of aluminum. This design removes the frame legs from the deck, giving you more space around the console and a robust frame structure. Additionally, it yields more space inside the head. The starboard side of the console features the iconic sportsman side window glass, which floods the interior with light. The console is wrapped with a tempered glass enclosure that includes a manually actuated vent. Moving aft of the console front seat, you'll find the conveniently located side entry door to the console, purposely built into the side of the console to give you access while the boat is underway. Inside, you'll find plenty of storage, as well as access to the electrical components. At the forward area of the console, we have designated trolling motor battery storage. This allows space for three trolling motor batteries tucked away from the visible console floor, providing a more streamlined and uncluttered appearance. If you don't opt for a trolling motor, this space provides great additional storage. Accessing the electrical components of the boat is a breeze, thanks to the large opening and easily accessible design behind the helm. To power the onboard electronics, we've equipped this model with a dual battery setup. This model is equipped standard with discover AGM traction batteries, which are the most advanced AGM batteries on the market. A standout option for families on this model is the optional enclosed porcelain head with overboard discharge and pump out system. We dedicated extensive hours in designing and developing an ergonomically optimized helm. The Masters 267 and 267-OE feature our SportLink electronics integration system, which will give you additional warranties and perks as a sportsman boat owner. The dash of this boat is equipped with the latest Garmin electronics, including the powerful 1243XSV 12-inch GPS sonar combo with a Garmin GT15M chur through-haul transducer. For those looking for an even more high-end look and feel, an optional 2nd GPS sonar combo is available to fill up the dash. For an elevated audio experience, this model includes the Garmin Fusion Apollo 770 touchscreen head unit with the top-of-the-line Garmin Fusion signature speakers, subwoofers and amplifiers. This audio system is enhanced by the latest DSP technology, including our exclusive sport-tuned audio system, which delivers exceptional audio performance that will leave you amazed. One great feature of SportLink is the digital switching system. This system is powered by the Dometic C-Star Interact DCM digital switching system. This system removes switches from the dash and gives the entire helm a clean and clutter-free look. In the rare instance where your screens go down, the system can be operated independently of the screens through the built-in fuse redundancy panel located inside the head. This ensures maximum reliability for safe boat operation. This system is also equipped to be operated from the custom sportsman remote control from up to 150 feet away. Other convenience features include a tail helm with a sportsman stainless steering wheel. Above the console, we have two storage cubbies that are perfect for storing small items such as phones and wallets. At the center, there is a compass with a built-in light and a wireless phone charger on the port side cubby. For even more storage, we've added an extra compartment at the bottom of the footrest, providing additional space to keep your belongings organized and within reach. We wrap up the helm area with a sportsman helm pad. This pad provides a finishing touch that is both comfortable and stylish. The heart top and frame are designed to appear in forward motion with sleek lines and robust structure integrity with detubing construction. The top is also packed with amenities that will soon become your family's favorites. The top features built-in navigation lights with a design that positions them completely off of the deck for an unobstructed installation. This boat also comes equipped with a Garmin VHF 115 radio and antenna mounted on a ratchet mount. The heart top offers mounting locations for six speakers to surround the helm with immersive sound even while on their way. The spreader lights on the heart top provide deck work lights for early morning and late night trips. To complete the top, we've added rocket launchers across the back, providing ample space for up to five rods. Additionally, you'll find kingfish rod holders on port and starboard. The half tower with second station upgrade is the ultimate addition to take your sportsman to the next level. With its premium features and advanced design, this half tower provides unmatched comfort, visibility and control for your own water adventures. Whether you're fishing, cruising or just enjoying a day out on the water, the half tower with second station ensures that you have the best vantage point to navigate and take in the scenery. While most differences between the 267 and 267 are at the bow, there are two more areas where we'll see differences. The second one is here at the leaning post. The fiberglass leaning post on the 267 features our comfortable premium captain's chairs. They're installed on sliding tracks to suit different seat placements at the helm. But there's one more feature. The Masters 267 features its own version of sandbar mode. The chairs are installed on a swivel which allow you to rotate them aft for a water-centric view. Additionally, the swiveling chairs make a great place to sit comfortably while trolling baits or simply anchored up fishing. The rear of the leaning post has a standard Yeti cooler. When the seats are in the rear position, it serves as a footrest. Behind the cooler, you'll find some tackle storage trays. The flush rear deck of the Masters 267 gives you a superior vantage point when you're out at the sandbar. Stepping aboard the 267 OE, you'll notice a very different leaning post focused around fishing and storage. The fiberglass leaning post on the 267 OE also features the same comfortable premium captain's chairs on sliding tracks standard. The only difference is you'll notice the absence of the swiveling function for sandbar mode. By removing the sandbar mode feature, we've been able to add a few additional fishing features. Across the back of the leaning post, you'll find the business section featuring rod holders across the back and a huge tackle center which includes drawers, tackle trays, storage pouches, and even knife and plier storage for easy access. Lastly, you'll find two grab handles for safety along the top edge. There are a few similarities between the two leaning posts. Opening the front panel, designated battery storage. This sets the battery's centerline for even weight distribution, keeps them dry, and out of the elements. Mounted to the interior wall of the leaning post, you'll find a battery charger and plug. On the port side, you gain access to the battery switch panel with switches for the house, engine, and additional accessories. The main breakers are also located on this panel where they can be easily reset. The gunnels on the 267 have several features built in with your ease of use and comfort in mind. On port and starboard, you'll find molded in rod racks for two rods beneath the gunnel. For added convenience, we've added standard reel pads to protect both your reels and the gel coat from damage while underway. For quick and easy cleanups while you're out, our boats are equipped with a raw water wash-down system located beneath the starboard side. Over the top, flush Gemlux rod holders and Gemlux pull-up cleats. To make fueling easier, we've equipped both models with dual fuel fills. This convenient feature makes easy work of fill-ups from either side while at the dock or on the trailer. We've added cockpit bolster cushions to our boats to enhance our comfort while fishing. These cushions provide a soft support for your knees and legs when you're reaching into the water or fighting a fish. When designing the 267 series, we place strong emphasis on the rear deck to achieve more open cockpit space and more space behind the leaning post while still retaining a rear deck. To accomplish this, we remove the traditional splash well and this is the last major area we'll see differences between the two models. On the 267, the slim leaning post opens up more space at the rear deck. This has allowed us to make an even larger casting platform while retaining the same space around the leaning post. The first thing you'll notice about this rear deck is the dual two-person bench seats, which allows up to four people to ride comfortably and safely below the gun. Moving aft of the bench seats, you'll find three separate live wells. The outer two are 21 gallon live wells with recirculating pumps to keep water flowing in all day long. These are perfect for catch and release tournament fishing. Additionally, they are insulated and can double up as coolers for those days at the sandbar. At the center is a large 35 gallon live well with the pro-air bubbler system. This live well is the ideal spot for keeping bait in an oxygen-rich environment. Another major difference on the 267-0E is the rear seating arrangement as well as live well configuration. Overall, this design gives you an additional 15 plus inches of space behind the leaning post. The Masters 267-0E features a single two-person bench seat at the center of the rear deck. This placement is ideal for long runs as it protects the passengers from wind and water. Just like the 267, it allows passengers to sit down below the gun for extra comfort and safety while underway. Moving our attention to the live wells, the Masters 267-0E is equipped with twin 21 gallon aquarium live wells. This elegant feature not only looks great, but it also serves a very important purpose. The see-through glass allows you to keep a close eye on your bait all day long without needing to open the lid. The starboard live well is equipped with our pro-air bubbler system which pumps oxygen-rich bubbles into the live well to keep your bait or catch healthy and active. While there's differences between the two models, there's also similarities, starting with the rear casting platform. While both offer great seating options, each bench seat can be easily closed and locked into place with one fluid motion. This feature allows for seamless and unobstructed movement on the rear deck, creating a safer and more comfortable environment for fishing, casting and other activities. When it's time to ride each bench, it just easily opens up for passengers to sit comfortably. Another feature included in these seats is that they hide the best-in-class built-in access. By lifting the bottom cushion, you'll gain access to all the critical components of the boat. This convenient access makes maintenance and repair much simpler and efficient. Lighting for this compartment can be found through the digital switching panel at the dash. As standard equipment on both models, we include a six-inch setback jack plate. As we mentioned, we've removed the splash hole requiring the boat to have a jack plate to move the engine further aft. For power, you have the choice of the Yamaha 300XSB or the newly redesigned Yamaha 450 XTO, which replaced the Yamaha 425 XTO and brings even more power to this engine. One of the most exciting features of this model is its designed-in integration with the all-new SeaKeeper ride system, which represents a game changer for boat performance and handling. Using advanced technology, this system can eliminate up to 70% of pitch and roll, providing a smooth and stable ride that enhances comfort, control and confidence on the water. If you're interested in seeing the SeaKeeper ride system in action and learning more about how it revolutionizes a boat's performance and handling, be sure to check out our series of videos on this topic. You can find the link to those videos in the description below. For easy access back onto the boat, we've installed a telescoping three-step ladder with a swim platform. This ladder is designed to be easily deployed and retracted, and the swim platform offers a stable and secure surface for boarding. Experience nighttime cruising in a whole new way with our premium lighting package, which includes a pair of blue Lumitech underwater lights for added ambiance and safety. The deck is also well-lit with our interior LED lighting package, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere for you and your guests. Whether you're out for an evening cruise or enjoying a night of fishing, our advanced lighting system is sure to impress. The 267 series offers a wide array of features and innovations. Whether you choose the more family-focused 267 or the 267-OE with more open cockpit space, these boats are packed with must-have features and amenities.
