2025 Sportsman Open 282 Center Console

The 2025 Sportsman Open 282 is a 28-foot center console built for offshore performance and versatility. Powered by a single 600 hp Mercury engine, the boat combines capable marine engineering with thoughtful design for both fishing and family use. Key structural features include a fiberglass hull with advanced stringer system, 230-gallon fuel tank, built-in swim platform with four-step ladder, and a 10-year hull warranty.

The hardtop, finished in fiberglass with tempered glass windshield and integrated D-tubing frame, shelters a well-equipped helm and cockpit. Dual side entry doors, dual premium helm seats, and deep bolster seating throughout provide comfortable access and accommodation. The console includes a 90-quart built-in cooler, lockable storage, and a fiberglass leaning post with tackle center and sink. Interior lighting is LED throughout, and Grip Tex non-skid covers the deck.

Electronics and systems reflect modern fishing and cruising capabilities. The Garmin GPSMAP 1643xsv multifunction display pairs with an Airmar 1kW CHIRP transducer, Garmin VHF radio, and Garmin Apollo RA770 stereo. Seakeeper Ride VACS stabilization, SeaStar Interact digital switching, and an anchor windlass with 300 feet of line support extended time on the water. Two 30-gallon pressurized livewells, two in-deck macerated fish boxes, and six flush-mount rod holders serve fishing needs. A 20-gallon freshwater tank feeds washdown systems. Premium audio comes from JL Audio speakers and amps with DSP.

Appointments include underwater LED lighting, dual wireless phone chargers, tempered glass windshield with vent, battery switches with four AGM traction batteries, and a custom Sunbrella mooring cover. Upholstery is Premium Sileather marine silicone fabric.
