2025 Sportsman Open 212 Center Console

The 2025 Sportsman Open 212 is a 21-foot center console built for full-day running around Tampa Bay and beyond. Powered by a single 250-hp Mercury V8, it combines efficient hull design with modern helm systems to keep operation straightforward whether you're fishing sandbars or making offshore runs. The 18-degree deadrise and 8.5-foot beam track predictably in afternoon chop while maintaining fuel efficiency for extended use.

The layout prioritizes flexibility across underway and anchored modes. The helm features Garmin 12-inch MFD navigation with BlueChart G3, VHF radio, Apollo stereo, and SeaStar digital switching to reduce workload. A Seakeeper Ride system improves running attitude and comfort. The cockpit holds a premium dual-chair leaning post with flip-up bolsters, removable bow cushions and backrests that transition between seating and open space, and rear fold-down seating that clears the deck when stowed. Dual wireless phone chargers and USB power are integrated at the helm.

Storage and fishing systems are distributed across the boat. A 25-gallon aquarium livewell with high-speed pickup, raw and freshwater washdowns, under-gunwale rod storage, and flush-mount rod holders support fishing work. Additional storage includes a built-in console cooler, insulated compartments, and dedicated anchor lockers at bow and stern. The 70-gallon fuel tank supports day-long range, and a 10-gallon freshwater tank serves washdown and utility needs.

The hull uses advanced fiberglass stringer construction with no wood for durability. The self-bailing cockpit features grip-text non-skid decking. A fiberglass hard-top with integrated lighting and matching underside color provides weather protection and extends usable hours, while underwater lights support evening anchoring. A swim platform with 4-step ladder allows easy water access. Capacity is rated for 10 passengers.
